Mo Gilligan is to host That's My Jam, a BBC One entertainment series based on the US show of the same name that's fronted by Jimmy Fallon.

The stand-up comedian will present eight hour-long episodes of the format in which guests must play musical games.

The BBC explains: "Debuting on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, That's My Jam is based on the original US show hosted by Jimmy Fallon, which draws inspiration from the wildly popular musical segments on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Signature games from the US version include Launch the Mic, Air Guitar, Don't Drop the Beat and Slay It, Don't Spray It.

"With a whole host of celebrity guests, dance and trivia-based games, and unforgettable musical performances, That's My Jam promises to take popular and well known songs to the next level like never before."

Mo Gilligan says: "It was such a thrill to work with Jimmy and his outstanding team on the pilot of this show - and now we get to do a series! This is such an exceptional format and I'm so honoured that the BBC and NBCUniversal are letting me bring it to the UK."

Kate Phillips from the BBC adds: "With marvellous Mo Gilligan leading proceedings, That's My Jam will see competitive celebrities facing off like never before, in a series of musical games guaranteed to provide a multitude of surprises and singalong moments!"

Gilligan has just finished on Series 3 of The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan, with a fourth series of the Channel 4 format already ordered.

Broadcast details and guests for That's My Jam will be confirmed in due course.
