There was never an official announcement, but it looks like the "they" behind "Lip Sync Battle" have moved on.

The faces of the show were always rap legend L.L. Cool J and supermodel Chrissy Teigen, both of whom have gone on to other shows since it last aired in 2019 — two shows in Cool J's case (and both sound a lot like "Lip Sync Battle").

As famed World War II American photojournalist W.

Q: What's Daniel Craig doing now that he's no longer James Bond?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Given Craig's outspokenness about growing tired of repeatedly playing the same character, legendary super-spy James Bond, many were surprised to see the Brit jump right back into another ongoing franchise. Most of his time these days is taken up playing Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out franchise.
