Travis Kelce Game Show ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ Trailer

Prime Video has released the trailer for its new game show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” Hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the series will premiere on the streamer on Oct. 16 with three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly.

“‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ offers a fun, new twist on the premise of the original popular format. 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. They are not competing against the stars…they’re enlisting 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 show’s logline reads.

The series has been announced as part of Prime Video’s Winning Wednesdays programming, joining a lineup that includes “Buy It Now,” “Wish List Games” and “Pop Culture Jeopardy!”.

The show will feature a classroom of celebrity participants such as comedians 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” actress Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh. 

Wes Kauble and Mark Burnett will executive produce the series and co-executive producers Sean Kelly, Steve Hughes, Susan Janis-Mashayehi, Tamara Akins and Jessie Binkow. Kauble will also serve as showrunner.
