Are you smarter than a celebrity?

Are you smarter than a celebrity? offers a fun, new twist on the popular original format. Hosted by NFL superstar Travis Kelce, each game features an adult participant who draws on a classroom full of comedy, film and sports celebrities to help them answer 11 questions on a range of topics from the core curriculum to win a prize of $100,000. They don’t compete with the stars… they enlist their help and in some cases can even “cheat” them. And for the final question, worth $100,000, the contestant chooses a celebrity to discuss the answer with before making a decision. The last question always refers to the 6th grade level.

Are you smarter than a celebrity? is executive produced by Wes Kauble and Mark Burnett, along with Sean Kelly, Steve Hughes, Susan Janis-Mashayekhi and Tamara Akins as executive producers. The series is produced by MGM Alternative, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, and distributed worldwide by Amazon MGM Studios Distributions. The original US version of the Emmy-nominated film Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? was co-created by Barry Poznick and John Stevens.
