Hosted by NFL star Travis Kelce, this new spinoff series, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, will premiere on Wednesday, October 16, on Amazon Prime Video.
Revamping Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, the popular 2007 game show, contestants will face off in a series of 11 elementary school-level questions, with the chance to win up to $100,000. However, this time, they’ll be assisted by a rotating panel of celebrities, who will offer help and add plenty of hilarious commentary along the way. Sounds simple enough, right?
Garcelle Beauvais, Nicole Byer, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ron Funches, Nikki Glaser, Lala Kent, Natasha Leggero, Chad Ochocinco, Lilly Singh, and Sophia Stallone will grace the celeb panel.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end steps in as the new host, taking over from Jeff Foxworthy and John Cena, who led previous iterations of the series and will be Kelce’s first time hosting a game show.
