Titled “America’s Big Deal,” the series hails from Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano and will be hosted by “Access Hollywood’s” Scott Evans, the NBCUniversal cable network announced Monday.

The fate of The World’s Best, CBS’ high-profile entertainment format hosted by James Corden, remains up in the air but if it did get picked up the broadcaster would “tweak the format”.
The global talent competition, which featured RuPaul Charles, Drew Barrymore and Faith Hill as judges, launched after the Super Bowl but struggled to keep hold of much of this audience over its subsequent 11 episodes.
Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment, speaking at summer TCA press tour, said that it had not made a decision whether to renew the show, which hails from reality TV heavyweights Mark Burnett and Mike Darnell.
“We really enjoyed the show creatively, we thought it was really well done, we thought James was amazing in it, the acts were fantastic and James got an Emmy nomination for it,” he said.
However, he added if it was to return, it would be a slightly different show.

Calling any show “The World’s Best” is a bold move. Calling a reality competition show “The World’s Best” is a veritable gauntlet throw, challenging countless bombastic rivals.
But CBS’ new series, which debuted Sunday night after Super Bowl Liii, had some solid reasons to feel confident going into the first episode. It’s the brainchild of Mike Darnell, formerly Fox’s in-house reality chief behind such franchises as “American Idol,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” and “The X Factor.” It premiered at a time when a reality show like Fox’s “The Masked Singer,” an aggressively bizarre competition show that almost immediately became a ratings hit, can thrive.
Also, it’s a feel-good program that premiered, as previously mentioned, after the Super Bowl, hosted by the perpetually enthusiastic James Cordon. It highlights talent from around the world, which is an admirable mission statement in and of itself.

CBS spared no expense — or hyperbole — to create and launch its new reality competition series “The World’s Best.” Debuting in the highly coveted post-Super Bowl timeslot, the variety show with a global twist is positioned to make a huge splash with viewers. Or at least that’s the hope, after CBS has dropped massive amounts of money on crafting the colossal set and attracting host James Corden and big-name talent for its judges, including Hollywood royalty Drew Barrymore, iconic drag queen and TV personality RuPaul Charles, and country megastar Faith Hill.
“A lot of money goes into something like that. You can see it on the screen. This is not a cheap show,” said executive producer Mike Darnell at the Television Critics Association preview for the show on Wednesday. “CBS, to their credit, really stepped up to make it big. CBS has really taken a big swing with us.

Mike Darnell hopes that there’s no repeat of Super Bowl Li when the New England Patriots came back to beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime as he prepares to launch The World’s Best.
The James Corden-fronted reality series has the post Super Bowl slot on CBS and Darnell admitted that he is nervous. “First of all, I’m going to be a wreck that night. I’ve never been that interested in football, I am this year. I know who’s in, I don’t want an overtime game, I didn’t want two La teams, I thought that was going to be a disaster, I don’t want a blowout, I’m out of my mind. If we get off on time, we should get a great number and it’s all about how much can you hold from that number,” he told Deadline.

There’s room in the unscripted television landscape for more than one talent variety show, according to the “The World’s Best” producers at CBS’ winter TCA press tour Wednesday.
While indicating that the mid-season edition of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” was a “direct shot at us,” executive producer Mike Darnell sounded bullish on the prospects for “The World’s Best,” a talent competition show that incorporates an international judging element.
In addition to judges RuPaul, Drew Barrymore and Faith Hill, 50 expert talents from around the globe – K-pop singers, martial arts experts, ballet dancers – constitute the Wall of the World and will also weigh in on the contestants on stage.
Watching performers who have spent years perfecting their expertise, RuPaul said he “wasn’t prepared for the emotional journey” that the show took him on, calling it “fantastic.”
