• Jimmy Fallon's 'Lip Sync Battle' to Get Spin-Off Show on Spike TV: Premiere April

    One of Jimmy Fallon's most popular "Late Night" and "Tonight Show" games, Lip Sync Battle, is getting its own TV show. Spike TV will be the network home for "Lip Sync Battle," slated for an April premiere. According to "Rolling Stone," actors Stephen Merchant and John Krasinski, both of whom have played the game with Fallon, created the concept with Emily Blunt. If you missed the lip-sync battles with Fallon, then let's recap. Krasinski competed against the host on Late Night, performing a hilarious rendition of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Fallon then invited Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Merchant for a bout as well. That epic battle saw Merchant taking on "Boom! Shake the Room" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and Gordon-Levitt mouthing "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John. Paul Rudd helped bring the game to "The Tonight Show," performing Tina Turner's "You Better Be Good to Me" and Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." Emma Stone tore through Blues Traveler's "Hook" and DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win," and Fallon most recently took on The Voice judges Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Like most of Fallon's games, it is a pleasure to watch.
