Jennifer Lopez's 'JLO Show' Is Coming to TV: The Sold-Out Vegas Residency Gets a Thanksgiving Premiere

CBS and Paramount+ announced Thursday that The JLO Show: Live In Las Vegas, a concert film capturing Lopez's recently completed residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, will premiere Thursday, Nov. 26, from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

The special will also stream on Paramount+, where subscribers will have access to an extended version of the concert film.

The televised event captures the final performance of Lopez's limited Las Vegas residency, which concluded March 28 after a 12-show, sold-out run that began during New Year's Eve week in 2025.

More than a traditional concert film, The JLO Show traces Lopez's journey from growing up in the Bronx to becoming an international music, film and television star. The elaborate production features a full orchestra, vocal ensemble and 16 dancers while combining some of the singer's biggest hits with personal stories and music from artists who influenced her career.

The Thanksgiving premiere also carries personal significance for Lopez. According to CBS and Paramount+, watching movie musicals together during the holiday has long been a Lopez family tradition, giving the television special another connection to the classic Hollywood productions that helped inspire the Las Vegas show.

The JLO Show: Live In Las Vegas is structured as a four-act production, beginning with "Act I: I'll See You in My Dreams," followed by "Act II: Tales from Manhattan," "Act III: Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill" and "Act IV: Shall We Dance."

The setlist travels across more than two decades of Lopez's music career, offering new interpretations of signature songs including "Waiting for Tonight," "Jenny from the Block," "Love Don't Cost a Thing," "Get Right," "On the Floor" and "Let's Get Loud."

But Lopez's own catalog is only part of the production. The show also incorporates contemporary pop songs, Broadway standards and tributes to entertainers associated with Las Vegas, turning the residency into both a retrospective of her career and a celebration of the performers and music that shaped her.

Lopez launched the residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace during New Year's Eve week 2025. All 12 performances sold out, drawing fans to Las Vegas for what became one of the high-profile residencies of the season.

The concert marked another chapter in Lopez's long relationship with Las Vegas. She previously headlined Jennifer Lopez: All I Have at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino from 2016 through 2018, a residency built largely around her pop and dance catalog.

The JLO Show, however, was designed with a broader narrative, using the four acts to move through different periods, influences and themes in Lopez's life and career.

The CBS broadcast now gives an audience far beyond the 12 sold-out Las Vegas performances a chance to see the production, while the extended Paramount+ edition will offer additional material not included in the two-hour network presentation.

The Nov. 26 premiere also puts Lopez in a prominent Thanksgiving-night television slot, traditionally one of the biggest family viewing nights of the year.

For Lopez, who has spent decades moving between music, movies, television and live performance, the special effectively brings those worlds together: a Las Vegas spectacle presented with the storytelling structure of a movie musical, arriving on the holiday when her own family traditionally gathers to watch them.

The JLO Show: Live In Las Vegas premieres Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 26, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and will stream on Paramount+. The extended version will be available exclusively on Paramount+.

The special is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
