and serves as executive producer for this one-of-a-kind
talent competition series featuring elite acts from
around the world. Golden Globe Award winner Drew
Barrymore, Emmy Award winner RuPaul Charles and Grammy
Award winner Faith Hill serve as the three American
judges.
The 10 episode
series hails from two of the most prolific unscripted
producers in television, Mike Darnell (“American Idol”
and “Ellen’s Game of Games”) and Mark Burnett (SURVIVOR,
“The Voice”).
“What
a super combination - the world’s biggest sporting event
paired with the world’s biggest talent competition,”
said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “THE
WORLD’S BEST is perfect post-Super Bowl programming for
viewers of all ages. It features elite acts from around
the world delivering jaw-dropping performances, a
talented mix of fan-favorite judges and is produced by
the most innovative minds in television, Mike Darnell,
Mark Burnett, Ben Winston and James Corden, who also
serves as our brilliant host.”
THE WORLD’S BEST
is a first-of-its kind global talent competition that
features acts from every genre imaginable, from every
corner of the planet. Performers will not only have to
impress the American judges, but will also need to
impress the “wall of the world,” featuring 50 experts
from around the world and every field of entertainment
to advance through the competition. Only one act will
ultimately be crowned THE WORLD’S BEST.
