ABC has announced a new dance competition with a comedic twist called “Let’s Dance” with acid-tongued Kathy Griffin as host. Will they put a muzzle on her?

The show will feature “stars” competing for charity as they honor some of the most famous movie, musical and pop video routines of all time.

It premieres Nov. 23 with a 90-minute installment at 9:30 p.m. following the ninth-season finale of lead-in “Dancing With the Stars.”

Additional episodes will air at 9 p.m. Mondays through Dec. 14, with the finale scheduled for Dec. 15 at 8 p.m.
