Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Wheel of Musical Impressions’ skit is inspiring a new NBC show

Jimmy Fallon‘s “Wheel of Musical Impressions” skit has inspired a new reality show for NBC. The network has ordered 10 episodes of a new unscripted series called “That’s My Jam” that will draft off all of Fallon’s clever celebrity musical segments on The Tonight Show.

The hour-long competition series will feature Fallon with a group of celebrities, who will each play his new, music-based games.

“We love playing these games on the show and it’ll be fun to see it taken to the next level,” said Fallon in a statement.

“Jimmy reinvented the late-night genre with his one-of-a-kind celebrity game segments that show our favorite stars at their most clever, creative and relaxed,” said NBC reality show chief Meredith Ahr. “We’re thrilled to bring viewers a new set of games and create a weekly party that is just as much fun to watch as it is to play along.”

NBC calls Fallon the “late night pioneer in viral celebrity games and moments.” More than 20 million YouTube subscribers have streamed his “Wheel of Musical Impressions” skit, as well as his “Musical Genre Challenge” and “History of Rap” shorts.

Fallon will also exec produce the show. There’s no projected airdate for the new show.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose.
