Cedric’s Barber Battle Gets the Cut.
Cedric’s Barber Battle, The CW’s new reality competition hosted by actor and comedian Cedric The Entertainer, has been pulled from The CW schedule, OMFGTV has learned.
Starting this Friday, May 8, original episodes of Whose Line is it Anyway? will replace Cedric’s Barber Battle at 8pm followed by Line repeats at 8:30pm.
Whose Line will then return to its originally scheduled time slot, Mondays at 9pm, beginning July 6.
The return of Barber Battle will air on its new night and time, Mondays at 9:30pm, starting June 29.
Blending craft with comedy, Cedric’s Barber Battle visits different barbershops in communities, including Los Angeles, Queens, Harlem and Austin, where the best barbers will go head-to-head in a hilariously unfiltered, no-holds-barred arena. Creating hair sculptures that feature elaborate designs, ranging from images of a person’s face to grand cityscapes, the barbers use nothing more than their clippers and a few coloring tools to create intricate works of art that are both imaginative and location-centric. Episodes contain two challenges: a “buzz cut” challenge, set inside an iconic barbershop, and an outdoor “cut down” challenge, located at a regional landmark in each city. At the end of each episode, a champion will be crowned.
