LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell have been working on NCIS: LA for 11 years and counting. Now, the two of them are working on another TV show together for
CBS.
This one involves dancing. Mama said knock you out because what do they have to do with dancing? Between the two actors, they have eight kids. When their children were growing up, some of them took dancing lessons. Therefore LL Cool J says, “We reminisced about our kids’ dance lessons and how it would look if they had to teach us how to dance. What we noticed was, aside from the two-left-feet element, like most parents, no one wants to let their kids down. The show is about being creative, having a good time and bringing families together through dance. It’s a fun show with a big heart!”
What is the premise of Come Dance With Me? “In the series, exceptionally talented young dancers from across the country will invite one inspirational, and untrained, family member or other adult who has supported their dance dreams, to become their dance partner for a chance to strut their stuff for a grand prize.” CBS adds, “Each week, these aspiring kids will share their love of dance with their mother, father, grandparent or other hero on an uplifting and emotional journey to learn and perform challenging routines, with the assistance of professional choreographers, in a competition with other duos.”
If O’Donnell and LL Cool J don’t dance on the show, it would be a crime that only NCIS: LA could solve.
