Jennifer Lopez is bringing her Las Vegas residency to television screens this Thanksgiving, and she wants everyone to watch it together.
The singer announced today that The JLO Show: Live in Las Vegas will premiere Thursday, Nov. 26 at 8pm ET/PT on CBS, with an extended version exclusively available on Paramount+. The film documents her sold-out residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
The Four Acts
Lopez’s show is structured in four acts, each named for a song:
- “Act I: I’ll See You in My Dreams”
- “Act II: Tales from Manhattan”
- “Act III: Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill”
- “Act IV: Shall We Dance”
The acts trace her journey from the Bronx to global icon, blending her biggest hits with personal storytelling about the artists and songs that shaped her. She performs with a full orchestra, a vocal ensemble, and 16 dancers.
What She Sings
The set includes new renditions of some of Lopez’s signature tracks:
- “Waiting for Tonight”
- “Jenny from the Block”
- “Love Don’t Cost a Thing”
- “Get Right”
- “On the Floor”
- “Let’s Get Loud”
The performance features her final appearance on stage.
Why Thanksgiving Works
Lopez picked the date for a reason. The premiere fits her family’s holiday tradition of watching movie musicals together.
The Stream Version
Paramount+ subscribers get the full extended cut, which includes the final performance in full. CBS airs the broadcast version, with the extended version reserved for the stream platform.
