Plot Synopsis

In this comedy/variety series, host Melissa McCarthy (Season 4) and Steve Harvey (Seasons 1-3) showcase young musicians, singers, dancers and every form of wunderkind in the country, and goes toe to toe with them in conversations and interviews. LITTLE BIG SHOTS, executive produced by Ellen DeGeneres and McCarthy (Season 4) and Harvey (Seasons 1-3), celebrates phenomenal, fun and talented kids, highlighting their uniqueness, instead of making them compete against each other.

The sneak peek also includes a five-year-old reincarnation of Bruce Lee from Japan, two incredible singers from Toronto and Hong Kong, and a sassy dancer (Raleigh, NC) who became an internet sensation after dancing to Aretha Franklin's "Respect." Then, the season opener, "Little Boy Blue," showcases a four-year-old piano prodigy (Torrance, CA), gifted 7 and 11-year old salsa dancers (North Bergen and Jersey City, NJ), a funny viral storyteller (Greenville, SC) and a talented six-year-old maestro (Des Moines, Iowa) who conducts choirs like a pro.

Season 2 of LITTLE BIG SHOTS premiered on Sunday, March 5, 2017 at 8pm ET/PT on NBC.

Also wowing viewers will be a 6-year-old basketball phenom and You Tube sensation who gets a very special surprise on the show, and a 4-year-old anatomy expert who impresses Harvey with her knowledge of every bone in the human body.

NBC premiered the third season of LITTLE BIG SHOTS on Sunday, March 18, 2018 from 7-9pm ET/PT, debuting back-to-back new episodes.
