The epic lip-sync battles segment on the "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" will soon roll out as a series of its own.

Jimmy Fallon's lip sync battle segment is all set to come to your TV and computer screens as a full-fledged series in 2015. Spike TV is partnering with Jimmy Fallon, John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant to roll out the sections into a full series.

Fallon, Krasinski and Merchant will not only serve as the executive producers of the series but will also appear and perform on "Lip Sync Battle."

"Lip sync battling is one of the coolest things happening in pop culture right now and already has a huge fan base thanks to the amazing talent involved.
