Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg Set as Hosts of Peacock’s New Holiday Baking Competition Series “Baking It”

From the creators of the successful crafting competition show ‘Making It‘ and executive producer Amy Poehler and her Paper Kite Productions

Emmy award-winning actor, producer, and musician Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live“) and Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actor and producer, Andy Samberg (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine“) are getting into the holiday spirit as the hosts of BAKING IT.

BAKING IT is a six-episode holiday competition series in which eight teams of two talented home bakers join Maya and Andy’s winter cabin for a celebration of culinary holiday traditions. Contestant duos will include spouses, siblings, best friends, and more, who will work together to create outstanding savory and sweet creations for themed challenges with the hopes of winning a cash prize. Maya and Andy will lead the festivities, also providing comedic commentary on the action. The bakers’ holiday treats will be judged by tough critics – four opinionated real-life grandmothers, who happen to be fantastic bakers themselves!

Baking It will be a heartfelt and joyful celebration of the time of year when people come together to honor their traditions, while also indulging in excessive baked goods.

Coming off success of ‘Making It‘, executive producers Amy Poehler and Nicolle Yaron, join forces for a holiday treat where they look for the “Best in Dough” contestants.

BAKING IT is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Paper Kite Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment. Amy Poehler, Nicolle Yaron, Pip Wells, Kate Arend, and Dave Becky serve as executive producers.
