Look: 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' with Travis Kelce to premiere Oct. 16

Amazon has unveiled its upcoming game show, "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?", set to premiere on Prime Video on October 16. The series, a spinoff of the popular game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?", will feature Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as the host. The show will debut with three episodes, inviting viewers to engage with a unique format that combines celebrity participation with educational challenges. In "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?", adult contestants will tackle 11 questions based on elementary school subjects, with the option to seek assistance from a panel of celebrities. Unlike traditional game shows, contestants will not compete against the stars but can "cheat" by consulting them. The final question, which carries a prize of $100,000, will require contestants to choose one celebrity for guidance before finalizing their answer, ensuring a blend of strategy and collaboration. The celebrity lineup includes a diverse array of personalities, such as comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches, alongside sports figures like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chad Ochocinco. Reality TV stars Garcelle Beauvais and Lala Kent, as well as podcaster Sophia Stallone and actress Lilly Singh, will also participate, promising an entertaining mix of expertise and humor. Travis Kelce, an accomplished NFL player and Super Bowl champion, expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the show, citing his lifelong love for game shows. His involvement is expected to draw significant attention, particularly with his high-profile relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
