Travis Kelce's Spinoff 'Are You Smarter Than' Gets Premiere Date
“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 welcomes an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from comedy, film and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of topics pulled from the elementary school curriculum, in an attempt to win a $100,000 prize,” the logline reads. “Instead of competing against the stars, contestants enlist their help and, in some cases, even ‘cheat.’ And for the final question, worth $100,000, the contestant selects a celebrity to discuss their answer with before committing. The final question is always at a 6th grade level.”
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? is scheduled to debut on Wednesday, October 16 with its first three episodes, exclusively on Prime Video. Following the premiere, new episodes will air weekly.
Kelce is joined by a class full of celebrity contestants, including Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer and Ron Funches; Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick; former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; Real Housewife of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and former talk show host Lilly Singh.
