New York, NY, March 3, 2015 - "Lip Sync Battle" fans have a reason to rejoice! Spike TV has greenlit eight more episodes of highly-anticipated new, original series, "Lip Sync Battle." The series is based on the cultural phenomenon of lip sync battling seen by millions on television and online.

The new eight battles will be taped in Los Angeles this month.

"Lip Sync Battle" is hosted by entertainment icon and two-time GRAMMY Award-winner LL COOL J with pop culture sensation Chrissy Teigen serving in the role of a color commentator.

"10 wasn't enough! We're riding the wave of Lip Sync Mania and the performances are getting bigger and more epic with every show," said Casey Patterson, Executive Producer/Executive Vice President Talent Development and Production, Viacom Entertainment Group. "We can't wait to for the fans to see what all of our superstars have in store for them."
