Little Big Shots: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Two of the biggest names in comedy, Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey, have teamed up to showcase some of the smallest talent in Little Big Shots, a new comedy/variety series for NBC featuring the world's most talented and extraordinary kids. The network has ordered eight hour-long episodes of the show, hosted by Harvey, from Warner Horizon Television. In Little Big Shots, Harvey will showcase young musicians, singers, dancers and every form of wunderkind in the country, and go toe to toe with them in conversations and interviews, with hilarious results. From pint-size breakdancers to 5-year-old piano virtuosos, these gifted performers will awe the nation with their talents, slay us with their cuteness and wow us with their accomplishments. These phenomenal kids show us once and for all that talent is born, not made.

On March 14, 2016, NBC renewed the series for a second season, with an order of thirtheen more hour-long episodes.
