Little Big Shots (also known as LBS) is an American variety television series co-created and produced by Steve Harvey and Ellen DeGeneres. The series features children demonstrating talents and engaging in conversation with the host.

The series was ordered by NBC in May 2015 for an eight-episode first season,[1] which premiered on March 6, 2016, with Steve Harvey as host. On March 14, 2016, NBC renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on March 5, 2017.[2][3] The series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on March 18, 2018.[4] A special holiday episode aired on December 12, 2018. In May 2019, nearly a year after the third season finished airing, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a fourth season and that Melissa McCarthy would be replacing Harvey as the new host.[5] The fourth season premiered on February 24, 2020.[6]
