"Lip Sync Battle" is the Only Celebrity Game Show You Need!
If you haven’t seen Spike’s newest hit television series, "Lip Sync Battle", then you are definitely missing out!
"Lip Sync Battle" is everything we’ve ever wanted in a TV show: great music, celebrities making fools of themselves, and a sexy host, AKA my bae LL Cool J.
Just to give you an example of the amazingness of this show, the first episode featured Dwayne Johnson and Jimmy Fallon lip-syncing classics from artists like Taylor Swift and Madonna. The Rock gave Jimmy a run for his money, and Jimmy’s appearance on the first episode was very appropriate considering this series pays homage to the lip sync battles he has on the reg on his late night show.
Stephen Merchant absolutely wrecked it when he appeared on Fallon's show, as he should -- after all, it was he, John Krasinski, and Emily Blunt who first came up with the idea of a lip sync battle. And thus, a nugget of pure comedic genius was born. Many other celebrities soon jumped in to lend their lip-syncing talents to Jimmy’s show, like Emma Stone, Paul Rudd, and Blake Shelton are just a few show stoppers who came on the show.
So far, we've seen Fallon, Johnson, Common, John Legend, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt show their stuff on "Lip Sync Battle"; check out Hathaway completely killing it with Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" while Blunt brings the house down with Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart":
Still to come are Anna Kendrick, John Krasinski, and even Stephen Merchant himself. I. Can't. Wait.
Don’t forget to catch "Lip Sync Battle" TONIGHT and every Thursday at 10pm on Spike!
