In GROUP CHAT WITH ANNIE & JAYDEN, Nickelodeon stars and social media personalities Annie LeBlanc and Jayden Bartels remotely host a talk show in which celebrity guests join them for conversation, games, and funny challenges.

Is It Any Good?
Best friends and prolific media stars Annie and Jayden are a good fit for this kind of unscripted programming, which elevates what otherwise could be a rather mundane endeavor. There's a natural ease to their conversation, and the show's docket of games like "Never Have I Ever" and trivia contests about their guests keeps the content unpredictable. And because it's always fun to see celebrities in a more natural setting -- especially if they're willing to get laughs at their own expense -- Group Chat delivers for fans of the hosts and the drop-in stars in that regard as well.
