LL Cool J will host Jimmy Fallon’s Lip Sync Battle show

Fallon is a producer on the show, as are John Krasinksi and Stephen Merchant. LL Cool J—who is better known by his birth name, Ladies Love Cool James—says he’s a “big fan of these battles” and that the Lip Sync Battle show will “bring it to a whole new level.” We still don’t know how Spike and Cool James can stretch a minutes-long goof on The Tonight Show to 10 full episodes, but hopefully that whole new level has something to do with it. All they need are a few minutes of time-wasting banter with the contestants jokingly smack-talking, three celebrities doing two songs each, and a little bit of LL Cool J arbitrarily judging them. Plus, it’s on Spike, so there will be a bunch of commercials for beer, phone sex lines, and treatments for low testosterone. That’s got to be enough. If not, they can throw in an extra phone sex commercial.
