Spike TV’s ‘Lip Sync Battle’ Renewed For Season 2!

Lip Sync Battle Mike Tyson

Spike TV’s biggest show ever, Lip Sync Battle, has just been renewed for a second season, after just four episodes. This viral sensation, which started out as a Jimmy Fallon bit, first on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and then on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, got its own show that premiered on Spike on April 2nd, 2015. That was quick, right? It is no surprise though. The show is mindless fun.

The game pits two celebrities (not B, C, or D-listers either) against each other for two rounds of songs. The audience picks the winner. It is not just lip syncing to songs that are sometimes incongruous to the person performing. The production goes all out, with costumes, props, backup dancers, and sometimes guests.

Check out some of those videos below.

So far this season the battles have been:

1.1 Dwayne Johnson vs. Jimmy Fallon: Johnson did “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift and “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees. Fallon did “Jump In The Line (Shake Senora)” by Harry Belafonte and “Like A Prayer by Madonna.”

1.2 Common vs. John Legend: Common performed “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5 and “All Night Long” by Lionel Richie. Legend did “Slow Motion” by Juvenile and “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer.

1.3 Anne Hathaway vs. Emily Blunt: Hathaway did “Love” by Mary J. Blige and “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus (and jumped on one). Blunt did “No Diggity” by Blackstreet and “Piece Of My Heart” by Janis Joplin.

1.4 Anna Kendrick vs. John Krasinski: Kendrick fake sung “Steal My Girl” by One Direction and “Booty” by JLO and Pitbull (JLO came out at the end). Krasinski was a marionette in “Bye Bye Bye” by ‘NSync and shimmied to “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner.

This week on 1.5, it’s Mike Tyson vs. Terry Crews: What I know so far is Tyson is doing “Push It” by Salt N Pepa, and Crews is doing “Sucker MCs” by Run DMC.

And next week it’s Michael Strahan vs. Hoda Kotb.

Kevin Kay, president of Spike, had this to say:

“‘Lip Sync Battle’ is a television and viral rock star for Spike. We are thrilled to be renewing ‘Lip Sync Battle’ whose success is a direct result of the brilliance and creativity of our producers, the brave performers, and of course the coolest new duo on television, LL COOL J and Chrissy Teigen.”

  1. Exciting! I think it’s a great popcorn show, and I have laughed with glee at some point during every episode.
