Luke Bryan paired up with Jimmy Fallon against actors Octavia Spencer and John Lithgow in a game of Catchphrase on Thursday night’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. See how he does below.

Luke, who will co-host this year’s ACM Awards, also performed his latest hit single, “Fast” on the show.

Luke Bryan is set to release the video for his latest single, “Fast,” on Friday (March 3rd). Today, he released a portion of the clip showing him talking to his son Bo, who finally worked up the courage to ask out a girl.

Sixty seconds now feels more like thirty
Tick-tock, won’t stop, around it goes
Sand through the glass sure falls in a hurry
And all you keep trying to do is slow it down, soak it in
Keep trying to make the good times last as long as you can
But you can’t, man
It just goes too fast

The actual video will premiere on VEVO at midnight.

“Fast” follows five No. 1 hits on Luke’s current album, Kill the Lights.

From The Tennesean:

Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley have a plan to prevent an Oscars-style mishap at the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards, which the men will co-host at 7 p.m. April 2 on CBS.

The country singers, who filmed promo spots for the ACM Awards in Nashville on Monday, said if they feel the show starting to go south, they’ll create a diversion.

“We have a plan,” Bentley joked. “Luke’s going to have a wardrobe malfunction. At least that way everyone talks about that and not the show.”

“It’s sad nobody is talking about what happened at the Oscars,” Bryan quipped. “That’s our approach, Dierks — train wreck the show.”

On a more serious note, Bryan added: “What a debacle, but it gets a lot of press.”

And, Bentley thinks Jimmy Kimmel “was a great host.”

“We played it so loose last year at the top, we could have had our own Oscar moment,” Bentley said.

For those who missed it, Sunday night Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong envelope before announcing Best Picture at the 89th Academy Awards. Because of the mix-up, the wrong movie was initially awarded the trophy before the mistake was rectified on stage a few seconds later.

Bryan and Bentley, who are returning to co-host the ACM Awards a second time, will have some screen time of their own at the end of the week. The silent black-and-white commercials the men shot in Nashville on Monday are scheduled to start airing Friday night on CBS.

Little Big Town will perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday (March 1st), followed by The Talk on March 14th.

Luke Bryan will perform on The Tonight  Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday (March 2nd).

Eric Church and Sam Hunt, along with Jason Aldean, will headline the 4th Annual Route 91 Harvest Festival September 29th – October 1st at Nevada’s Las Vegas Village. Tickets go on sale Friday (March 3rd).

Luke Bryan, Darius Rucker, Chris Stapleton and Alan Jackson are scheduled to perform during this year’s Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The three-day concert event will take place April 7th – 9th and will also feature such artists as Brett Eldredge, Kenny Chesney, Maren Morris, Dustin Lynch, Brett Young, Chris Lane and many more.

Luke Bryan sold out the May 5th launch date of his “Huntin’, Fishin’ And Lovin’ Every Day Tour” when tickets went on sale Friday morning (February 17th) for Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Due to high fan demand, a second show has been added for Saturday, May 6th.  Tickets for May 6th go on sale on Friday, February 24th.

Special guest in Nashville is Brett Eldredge along with opener Adam Craig.

Lauren Alaina picked up her first award nomination for New Female Vocalist of the Year, which she found out while at  the Detroit airport. “I honestly cannot believe I am nominated for New Female Vocalist. I don’t even know what to say,” exclaimed Lauren. “I’ve been waiting I guess five years for a nomination at the ACMs and I am so excited and so thankful and so humbled by the industry voting for me to get into this category. It means so much to me, and I found out in the Detroit airport while I was eating breakfast and I was really keeping it together until I Facetimed my dad to tell him and then I lost it and have cried for the last 10 minutes and then have gotten it together enough to talk about it again.”
