TV.com summary

Celebrity Duets, an U.S. reality television show, combined celebrities of different backgrounds with professional singers in a weekly elimination competition.

The show was a take-off of the Australian series It Takes Two and its predecessor, the BBC's Just the Two of Us; however, unlike the British and Australian shows, the celebrities sang with different partners each week. In fact Celebrity Duets was meant to air in the UK first under the name Star Duets, but BBC bought the format before Simon Cowell got to produce it on ITV, there was even court action which BBC won and therefore Star Duets never came into production.

It has been compared to Dancing with the Stars, a similar competition that airs in the U.S. on ABC.[citation needed]

The show debuted on Fox, with a 2-hour premiere on August 29, 2006. It then moved to its normal Thursday timeslot the following week, and stayed there until its season finale on September 29.

Simon Cowell of American Idol and Pop Idol fame created and Wayne Brady hosted the show.
