Looking to begin the new year with off-the-charts alternative muscle, NBC's January lineup is set to include the premiere of The Titan Games, the new epic physical competition series from Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia; the debut of America's Got Talent: The Champions, the global winter edition of the network's summer powerhouse; and the second season of the highly popular series Ellen's Game of Games, from superstar executive producer Ellen DeGeneres. The Titan Games premieres Wednesday, Jan. 2 from 8-10 p.m. and will start airing in its regularly scheduled 8-9 p.m. timeslot beginning Wednesday, Jan. 9. The 10-episode will offer everyday people the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in remarkable feats designed to test mind, body and heart.
America's Got Talent: The Champions premieres Monday, Jan. 7 from 8-10 p.m. The series will bring together some of the world's best acts from the international Got Talent franchises, spanning 194 territories, and come to share their talents and compete against one another in an Olympics-style ultimate celebration of worldwide creativity and talent. The series, from NBC, Syco Entertainment and Fremantle, will feature the star-studded judges panel from America's Got Talent - executive producer Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel - and will be hosted by Terry Crews. Ellen's Game of Games premieres Tuesday, Jan. 8 from 8-10 p.m. and will start airing in its regularly scheduled 8-9 p.m. time slot on Tuesday, Jan. 15.
