Inspired by the recent viral video phenomenon LipSyncChallenge, CBS announced a new one-hour entertainment special, “Lip Sync to the Rescue,” hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, star of CBS’ hit comedy “The Neighborhood,” to be broadcast later this year on the CBS television network.
“Lip Sync to the Rescue” is an interactive countdown special where viewers vote for their favorite video of performances featuring first responders channeling their inner pop stars and lip-syncing to hit music, a trend that began with the LipSyncChallenge, the network said.
Then, during “Lip Sync to the Rescue,” the Top 10 videos selected will be revealed during the show, which will film in front of an audience of first responders, family and friends. Two videos will advance to the live vote during the broadcast to crown a winner.
