With Steve Harvey as host, the Little Big Shots TV show was a big success in the ratings when it launched in 2016. Unfortunately, the ratings declined quite a bit in later seasons. Now, 18 months later, NBC has brought Little Big Shots back to the airwaves in a reimagined format and with a new host. Can the series recapture the magic of the early episodes? Will Little Big Shots be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A children’s talent show of sorts, Little Big Shots features comedian Melissa McCarthy as the series’ new host. The show has been reimagined for season four and McCarthy meets with inspiring and hilarious kids from all corners of the globe. They take viewers into their world, share their remarkable stories and show viewers the incredible talents that set them apart. These are kids who defy the odds, reject stereotypes, and conquer their dreams. They may be small but their hearts are big.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Little big shots should get steve Harvey’s back.its not good with Melissa McCarthy at all .she over steps the children.if she has to be host cancel show
New format is awful. The kids are cute and in most cases, that’s it. The interviews are shallow and quite forced. The old format, with Steve Harvey, was much better with adorable kids plus lots of talent. Very funny and very entertaining. It’s not surprising this year’s format has half the viewers.
I tried watching but immediately shut it off – Steve Harvey at least made the show funny when interacting with kids. Shame on the network for playing politics.
Used to love. No more. Bring back Steve. He was delightfully funny.
Used to love this…no more. Bring back Steve–he was delightfully funny.
Use to love little big shots…not any more! Bring back Steve!
This show is awful. Need a new host kids are not funny and show us boring.
Really like Melissa in other movies but she is not the right fit for this show. Bring back Steve Harvey!
Not impressed with Melissa McCarthy as host. Much more enjoyed Steve Harvey as host. He made the show more enjoyable.
