Little Big Shots: Forever Young
NBC, 8pm
New Series!
This spinoff of NBC’s Little Big Shots showcases the talents and wisdom of senior citizens.

Would we find the same unfiltered, amazing talent that we did with the kids?” She adds, “We quickly realized that this was an untapped market with these older folks and they don’t have a platform or a voice on network television and we just decided to go for it!”
