Nickelodeon debuts the ultimate music showdown for kids from Harlem to Harare with Lip Sync Battle Shorties, beginning Friday, January 12, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT). Hosted by multi-faceted entertainer Nick Cannon, along with show sidekick JoJo Siwa, the series features talented, real-life kids lip-syncing pop songs in celebration of their favorite musical artists. The series will air regularly on Fridays at 7:30p.m. (ET/PT).
Contestants personalize their performances and make decisions on all creative elements, from song and costume selection, to choreography and staging. Each episode features the Shorties Dance Crew, a 10-person, in-house backup crew who has mastered all styles of dance from breakdancing to ballroom. With each episode concluding with a special celebrity appearance and final performance from all the kids, celebrity guest appearances include Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez, Fall Out Boy’s multi-platinum rock artist Pete Wentz, Echosmith’s Sydney Sierota, and more.
“We had so much fun making Lip Sync Battle Shorties and can’t wait for everyone to see what these incredibly talented kids came up with. It was really exciting to see these performances come straight from their imaginations onto the screen,” said executive producer Casey Patterson.
