Emmy-winning comedienne Kathy Griffin has been tapped to host a new celebrity dance competition on ABC.
Griffin, 48, has signed on to helm Let’s Dance, a new series which will premiere immediately after the Nov. 23 finale of Dancing With The Stars, TheWrap.com has learned. The new series will feature celebrity contestants reenacting their famous routines from past music videos, movies, and musicals on a live weekly dance-off that will run for just five episodes.
“The competition will be hot — and hilarious — as teams of celebrities pay comedic homage to famous dances while competing for a $250,000 grand prize for their favorite charity,” according to a statement from ABC Tuesday. “The show will include single dancers, duos and groups, all competing against each other to wow a panel of judges and viewers across America who will be voting each week leading up to the series finale.”
The panel of judges and celebrity participants will be announced sometime in the next few weeks.
