Loggins was recently announced as a 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee.
Kenny Loggins, 78, appeared on The Tonight Show for a "Classroom Instruments" segment, a recurring feature where guests perform songs using xylophones, maracas, kazoos, and other classroom instruments. The performance included renditions of "Danger Zone" (from Top Gun) and "Footloose," with Kevin Bacon joining midway through to perform the latter song. Actor John Lithgow made a cameo appearance, referencing his strict reverend character from the 1984 film Footloose by objecting to the music. The segment also featured Jimmy Fallon and the Roots. This appearance comes shortly after Loggins was announced as one of eight inductees to the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame class, alongside Taylor Swift and Alanis Morissette.
