Plot Synopsis

Hosted by NFL superstar Travis Kelce, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CELEBRITY? is a one-hour game show that's a twist on the premise of the original format, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? Each game welcomes 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. Celebrity guests include comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches; THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick; former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS' Garcelle Beauvais; VANDERPUMP RULES star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh. ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CELEBRITY? debuted on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 on Prime Video, which released the first three episodes. A new installment drops weekly on Wednesdays through February 12, 2025.
