Lip Sync Battle is an American musical reality competition television series that premiered on April 2, 2015, on the American cable network Spike, later known as Paramount Network. The show is based on an idea by Stephen Merchant and John Krasinski, in which celebrities battle each other with lip sync performances. The idea was introduced as a recurring segment on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and later The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, before being developed into a separate show.

The premiere episode was the highest-rated premiere in Spike's history. Lip Sync Battle has been a hit show for the network. The series' success has led to the creation of various international adaptations. In August 2018, the show was renewed for a fifth season which premiered on January 17, 2019.

On September 22, 2020, it was announced that the series would move to another ViacomCBS network as part of the Paramount Network's now-scrapped planned shift to films.{{Cite web|last=White|first=Peter|date=2020-09-22|title=Paramount Network To Rebrand As Paramount Movie Network; Focus On Television Movies, Cancels Non-Scripted Series|url=https://deadline.com/2020/09/paramount-network-rebrand-paramount-movie-network-focus-television-movies-cancels-non-scripted-1234582151/|access-date=2020-09-22|website=Deadline|language=en-US}} However, no new home for the program was ever announced.

Overview

Lip Sync Battle debuted on Spike on April 2, 2015.{{cite web|url=http://www.zap2it.com/tv/lip-sync-battle/SH021056520000|title=Lip Sync Battle – Overview|access-date=May 11, 2015|publisher=Zap2it|archive-date=May 8, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150508034444/http://www.zap2it.com/tv/lip-sync-battle/SH021056520000|url-status=dead}} The game pits two celebrities against each other in a lip syncing battle, where each contestant performs two songs. The host then asks the audience who won, with the winner being the contestant that gets the most and loudest cheering. The winner then receives a Lip Sync Battle belt reminiscent of the WCW Television Championship title belt.

It is produced by John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant and hosted by rapper and actor LL Cool J.{{cite web|title=Spike TV Rebrands, Inks Deal With Dwayne Johnson|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/spike-tv-rebrands-inks-deal-778969|work=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=March 3, 2015|first=Lesley|last=Goldberg|date=March 3, 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/lip-sync-battle/727330/|title=Lip Sync Battle – Episode Guide|work=TV Guide|access-date=May 2, 2015}} Model Chrissy Teigen serves as color commentator.

The show is a spin-off of a segment first introduced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Merchant, Krasinski and Emily Blunt, were brainstorming ideas for Krasinski's upcoming appearance on Late Night when the idea took shape.{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/how-nbc-passed-jimmy-fallons-786992/|title=How NBC Passed on Jimmy Fallon's 'Lip Sync Battle' and Gave Spike a Hit Show|last=Rose|first=Lacey|work=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=January 25, 2022|date=May 8, 2015}} Jimmy Fallon then developed it into a recurring segment on his show.

In 2014, Merchant, Krasinski and Fallon pitched the show to NBC, who passed on it, despite the attention the Late Night segment got, particularly when Emma Stone lip synched DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win". NBC's cable channels USA Network and Bravo also passed. The competition series was eventually picked up by Spike, which was then rebranding. "Part of what I wanted to do with Lip Sync Battle is increase co-viewing, but also add diversity to the network," said network president Kevin Kay.{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/how-jimmy-fallons-lip-sync-battle-launched-spiketvs-rebrand-right-swing-at-right-moment/|title=How Jimmy Fallon's 'Lip Sync Battle' Launched SpikeTV's Rebrand: 'Right Swing at Right Moment'|last=Ross|first=L.A.|publisher=The Wrap|access-date=May 11, 2015|date=April 16, 2015}}

In January 2016, the network renewed the series for a third season consisting of another 20 episodes. "Lip Sync Battle is a multiplatform pop-culture phenomenon that has played an integral role in delivering a new and broader audience to Spike," Kay said.{{cite web|title='Lip Sync Battle' renewed for Season 3 on Spike|work=TV by the Numbers|first=Rick|last=Porter|access-date=January 20, 2016|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/01/19/lip-sync-battle-renewed-for-season-3-on-spike/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160122011033/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/01/19/lip-sync-battle-renewed-for-season-3-on-spike/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 22, 2016|date=January 19, 2016}} This season notably featured a contest between Zendaya and Tom Holland, then rumored to be a couple, with Holland winning by appearing as Rihanna, lip synching to her song Umbrella.{{Cite web |date=2023-06-14 |title=No more lip-sync battles for Tom Holland: 'I'd rather go and play golf' |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-06-14/tom-holland-interview-lip-sync-battle-rihanna |access-date=2024-08-07 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Tom Holland Says He Still Gets 'Most Compliments' for His 2017 'Lip Sync Battle' Dance: 'Proud of It' |url=https://people.com/tom-holland-gets-most-compliments-for-lip-sync-battle-dance-7546477 |access-date=2024-08-07 |website=Peoplemag |language=en}}

Josef Adalian in Vulture said that Lip Sync Battle is "looking like a legitimate hit, both on TV and online." He also added that the show's creators "opted not to impose artificial demographic targets. They also went out of their way not to futz up the very simple premise that worked so well on Fallon’s late-night shows."{{cite web|url=https://www.vulture.com/2015/04/spike-lip-sync-battle-success-story.html|title=How Spike's Lip Sync Battle Became Such a Stunning Success|first=Josef|last=Adalian|access-date=May 10, 2015|date=April 16, 2015|work=Vulture}} Amy Amatangelo of The Hollywood Reporter said that the debut of the show "had moments of great fun," although she added that the series "still seems like it is better suited as an interlude on The Tonight Show," and that "some things are better in small doses."{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/lip-sync-battle-tv-review-786300|title='Lip Sync Battle': TV Review|first=Amy|last=Amatangelo|access-date=May 10, 2015|date=April 3, 2015|work=The Hollywood Reporter}} Adelle Platon of Vibe wrote that the show "is a welcome break from other singing shows crowding primetime," also adding that "with the in-house crowd serving as judges, the spirit of competition between both parties makes it a fun-for-all".{{cite web|url=http://www.vibe.com/2015/04/spike-tv-lip-sync-battle-review/|title=Review: Spike TV's 'Lip Sync Battle' Is Worth Every Note|first=Adelle|last=Platon|access-date=May 10, 2015|date=April 3, 2015|work=Vibe}} Emily Yahr from The Washington Post was more negative towards the show by saying that "taking out all the spontaneity and replacing it with the cheesy-slick production values of an American Idol group medley, Lip Sync Battle will probably wear out its welcome soon."{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/04/07/lip-sync-battle-has-anne-hathaway-and-emily-blunt-aw-isnt-it-so-cuuute-when-celebrities-goof-around-ugh-enough/|title='Lip Sync Battle': Aw, isn't it so cuuute when celebrities goof around?
