Each episode of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? features an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of famous faces to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, all pulled from an elementary curriculum. “Rather than compete against the stars, contestants enlist their help and, in some cases, can even ‘cheat’ off of them” in pursuit of the $100,000 prize, the logline describes. For the final question, which is always at the sixth-grade level, the contestant selects one celebrity to discuss the answer with before locking in.

The Season 1 roster of celebrities includes 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 vet Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; social media personality/podcast host Sophia Stallone; and actress/comedian Lilly Singh.
