“Like the rest of the world, I’m a big fan of these battles, but this show is going to bring it to a whole new level,” LL says. “I’m thrilled to be working with Jimmy Fallon, John Krasinski, Stephen Merchant, and the entire team to host the show and can’t wait for the fans at home to join in!!”
The format for the pilot series, places celebrities head-to-head in a lip-syncing duel. They’ll be able to perform a song of their choice, and the winner will receive bragging rights.
LL will also serve as a producer for the 10-episode series, which is slated to premiere April 2.
