The Buzzing ’Skeeto takes a closer look at Chris Kirkpatrick’s 2001 — the interviews, the performances, the solo appearances, and the parts of his role in *NSYNC that didn’t always make it into the spotlight. This episode explores what Chris was juggling at the time: the creative control and entrepreneurship of FuMan Skeeto, the demands of being 1/5 of the world’s most popular band, and the shifting expectations of a pop landscape that was starting to age out its stars. We also look at how Chris turning 30 became an easy shorthand for a genre the media had already decided was on its way out.
