‘Celebrity Weakest Link’: See Star-Studded Lineup, Trailer & More
Say goodbye to the version of Weakest Link that you knew and hello to the all-new Celebrity Weakest Link. The revamped game show is set to premiere this fall with the same host, but on a new network, and a star-studded lineup of contestants.
Weakest Link first made its debut in 2001. Anne Robinson hosted the original version, which was canceled in 2003. The game show was revived in 2020 with Jane Lynch as the host. Weakest Link has a team of contestants who try to reach and complete a chain of correct answers from general knowledge questions within a certain time limit.
At the end of each round, one person is considered the “weakest link” by either answering questions wrong or not banking money. The contestants vote on who the weakest link is, and Lynch will tell them, “You are the weakest link. Goodbye!”
However much money is banked at the end of the round goes into the contestant’s total pot, and one person wins at the end. This time, celebrities will try to win money for charity.
Here is everything we know about Celebrity Weakest Link.
