Production

edit

On March 13, 2019, it was announced that NBC had made a 10-episode order for That's My Jam, a variety game show which would feature celebrities competing in music-themed challenges inspired by those seen on its late-night talk show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[1] On January 11, 2020, it was announced that Fallon would host the series (marking his first primetime series for NBC), which was slated to premiere after the closing ceremonies of the 2020 Summer Olympics.[2] However due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Olympics were postponed to 2021,[3] while NBC slated different programming to air after the closing ceremonies instead.[4]

On October 28, 2021, it was announced that the series would premiere on January 3, 2022 as part of NBC's midseason lineup,[5] with a special preview episode airing on November 29 featuring Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, John Legend, and Blake Shelton of The Voice.[6]

On February 7, 2022, NBC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on March 7, 2023.[7][8] On October 17, 2023, NBC renewed the series for a third season.[9] On February 27, 2024, it was announced that production had been paused for the third season.[10]

Format

edit

The game features celebrity teams competing in music-themed challenges, some of which adapted from recurring segments on The Tonight Show, such as "Mixtape Medley Showdown", "Slay It, Don't Spray It", and "Wheel of Musical Impressions".[6][11][12]

On December 7, 2021, NBC announced that it had sold the format to France's TF1, under the name Stéréo Club, hosted by Camille Combal.[12][37] The series premiered on May 20, 2022.[38]

On August 24, 2022, it was announced that a UK adaptation, hosted by Mo Gilligan and broadcast on BBC One, would be filmed entirely in Los Angeles.[39] The series premiered on December 17, 2022, to a particularly poor critical and audience reception, leading to it being axed thereafter after only one series.[40][41]

On October 18, 2022, it was announced that adaptations were being developed for Spain, Portugal, Italy and Mongolia.[42]

On February 9, 2023, it was announced that a German adaptation, hosted by Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel, would be broadcast on RTL+.[43]
