The cool man who the ladies love, LL Cool J, has a new job hosting Lip Sync Battle, a new show on Spike TV based on the popular segment on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Doin’ It” rapper will host the 10-episode series and serve as a producer alongside Fallon, John Krasinski from the American version of The Office and Stephen Merchant, the star of Hello Ladies. The show will feature celebrities who lip sync the songs of their choice in the hopes of winning… bragging rights. LL Cool J said of his new job:
“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. 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 show will begin taping this month in New York City and conclude on April 2; additional information on the participating celebrities will be announced soon.
