ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CELEBRITY?: Prime Video Sets October Launch for Travis Kelce-Hosted Game Show

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CELEBRITY?, a twist on the game show ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER, will bow on Wednesday, October 16 with three episodes, Prime Video announced. Subsequent episodes of the 20-episode season will drop weekly.

In the classroom in season 1? Celebrities including Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, Ron Funches, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chad Ochocinco, Garcelle Beauvais, Lala Kent, Sophia Stallone, and Lilly Singh. Travis Kelce will serve as host.

According to the streamer, “ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CELEBRITY? offers a fun, new twist on the premise of the original popular format. Hosted by Travis Kelce, each game will welcome an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from comedy, screen, and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary curriculum, in an effort to win a $100,000 prize. Rather than compete against the stars, contestants enlist their help and, in some cases, can even “cheat” off of them. And on the final question, worth $100,000, the contestant selects one celebrity to discuss the answer with before locking in. The final question is always at the 6th-grade level.”

The series is executive produced by Wes Kauble and Mark Burnett, with co-executive producers Sean Kelly, Steve Hughes, Susan Janis-Mashayekhi, and Tamara Akins. The original series was created by Barry Poznick and John Steven.
