Home bakers who have a poor track record in the kitchen seek redemption -- and cash -- on this series. In each episode, three contestants try their hand at re-creating edible masterpieces. The projects don't always turn out great, but whichever amateur baker comes closest to a successful dessert by the end of the episode takes home the $10,000 prize, which they might want to use on baking lessons. Comic Nicole Byer and renowned pastry chef Jacques Torres host the culinary competition that features such challenges as painting self-portraits on cookies.

Keep watching and you'll see what sets Nailed It apart: the subtle, near brilliant way it pokes fun at cooking competitions -- and itself. Go to Full Review Grace Wong Chicago Tribune 03/25/2020
For fans of The Great British Baking Show, consider this the unkempt, rowdy but still very delightful cousin. Go to Full Review Kristy Puchko Pajiba 03/25/2020
By refusing to take its competition, challenges, or contestants too seriously, Nailed It! created a sweet and stupendously fun show that'll lift even the darkest mood. It's wonderful, weird and warm. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 10/03/2022
Few reality competition shows are as delightfully ridiculous as Nailed It!, which capitalizes on the inherent charm of its hosts. Go to Full Review Paul McGuire Grimes Paul's Trip to the Movies 11/04/2020
If you need a good hearty laugh, you will be addicted to Nailed It! Byers has some fantastic quips for all of the travesties she sees in the kitchen. Go to Full Review Austin O'Connor AARP Movies for Grownups 03/25/2020
It's the type of harmless fun many viewers are craving these days. The judges are kind, not cruel, and the glory in Nailed It! is in the effort, not necessarily the achievement. Definitely not the achievement. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Joey G @LegoJo7 04/13/2025 This was a good show to watch with your family. It’s also a good show to only half watch, because it gets boring after a bit. See more Songer K @RT24654147 11/06/2023 Silly show. So fun!! See more Lieutenant B @RT79693082 09/18/2023 I was hoping for the spiritual successor to Worst Bakers in America, but it ended up being Cupcake Wars based on the old Cake Fails meme. It's not nearly as funny as Worst Cooks in America, but if you only have a half hour to spare & want to laugh at a Fail Cake, it gets the job done. See more 04/21/2020 it's the same thing every episode and the jokes are terrible See more 12/23/2019 The hosts were the most annoying human beings of life ... they were not the slightest bit funny. I was literally cringing the whole time because I could not believe they let this show air on tv with how they were acting... they were all obnoxious except for the French guy who actually brought some good knowledge to the show ... I'm sorry they should not make any more of these shows ... esp with Nicole ... GOD AWFUL See more 01/10/2019 Nailed It! is super fun to watch and hilarious as well. I love Nicole Byer and Jacques Torres they are hilarious together as judges/host's. I love how different and original the shows concept is. This is one of my favorite new tv shows of 2018. A+.
