The trailer for Spike's new show Lip Sync Battle has a lot of good things going for it. First, there is Jimmy Fallon, who uses the game often on The Tonight Show. Then there is John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant, two of the minds who developed the idea. And finally there is a slew of celebrities -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Anna Kendrick, Jennifer Lopez -- putting on lavish performances while not singing a word.

The Rock says he is coming for Fallon in the trailer below. A few cameos include Common break dancing and John Legend performing in full M.C. Hammer gear. Model Chrissy Teigen joins host LL Cool J as the color commentator, and there will be plenty of opportunities for that. Some highlights from the clip include The Rock singing Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off," Fallon taking on Madonna's "Just Like a Prayer" in a gospel outfit, and Krasinski busting out a silver dress for Tina Turner's version of "Proud Mary." Check it out below.

Lip Sync Battle became one of the most beloved segments on The Tonight Show after Krasinski, Merchant and Fallon competed on Late Night. Most recently, Fallon, Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell performed against each other. Ferrell dazzled with his version of Frozen's "Let It Go."

"Lip-sync battling is one of the coolest things happening in pop culture right now and already has a huge fan base thanks to the amazing talent involved," Viacom Entertainment Group's Casey Patterson said in a statement in November. "We're thrilled to be in business with producers as talented as Jimmy, John and Stephen as Spike broadens its programming in new and exciting ways."

Spike's Lip Sync Battle will film in front of a live studio audience. The premiere date is set for April 2.
