What's the Story?
Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, THAT'S MY JAM is a music and comedy variety game show that draws inspiration from the most popular games on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Each episode features two teams of two celebrities competing for a charity of their choice in a series of music, dance, and trivia-based games and musical performances. Signature games include Launch the Mic, Air Guitar, Wheel of Impossible Karaoke, Slay It, Don't Spray It, and many more.
Is It Any Good?
The physical comedy gags in this game show will keep the whole family entertained, but it's the celebrities' talent that will have you coming back for more. Most of the A-list stars that stop by That's My Jam are already well known for their voices. Nevertheless, it's ridiculously impressive watching Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande kill it during a karaoke battle, or to see Chance the Rapper effortlessly convert a Nelly song into a country music tune on the spot. The competition is all in good fun, and for a good cause, and the games are switched up enough to keep the audience's interest, making this one of those rare finds perfect for families with kids spanning lots of ages.
