The battle to find out which celebrity is the best at moving their lips to music is coming to México with "Lip Sync México." Comedy Central Latin America and Azteca network announced that they will be producing an adaptation of the popular show with host Nicky Jam. The urban artist will be joined by Ariana Ron Pedrique as presenter. Producers have already lined up an all-star cast that includes celebrities from movies, television and sports like Ana De La Reguera, Juan Manuel Márquez, the Lora family, Christian Martinoli. Also from the "El Señor De Los Cielos" saga Raúl Méndez, who played "Chacorta," will join all the fun. "Lip Sync México" is set to premiere on July 6 at 9pm CT on Comedy Central Latin America and on July 7 at 10pm on Azteca 7.
"'Lip Sync México' is a fun project and represents an opportunity to explore another phase as a host in my career," Nicky Jam said. "This program will be enjoyable and excite families to see their artists, singers and favorite athletes competing to show who is the best lip syncer." Eduardo Lebrija, Senior VP and General Director of Viacom México, Central America and Caribbean, said, "'Lip Sync México' is the local version of Lip Sync Battle, it is part of the new and original portfolio content of Comedy Central that we'll be producing in México for all of Latin America. Announced today this co-production with Azteca, marks the beginning of a project that will contribute a lot of value to this fun format."
Federico Cuervo, Senior VP at Comedy Central & Paramount Channel, said: "All of us at Comedy Central feel proud of this great project and the incredible repertoire of talented Latin Americans that will be part of it. Add to that the hosting duties of the talented Nicky Jam and as a result we have a unique musical experience that will entertain and make our audiences laugh through a fun format that will have many battles between celebrities." Rodrigo Fernández Capdevill, executive at Azteca, also weighed in saying, "'Lip Sync México' is a great bet for Azteca.
