Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? sees adult contestants relying 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 hopes of winning a $100,000 prize. They are not competing against the celebrities but instead enlisting their help and can even “cheat” off them. 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 celebrity classmates includee 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’ Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh.
In the business competition Buy It Now, entrepreneurs get 90 seconds to pitch their product to an audience of potential customers: The 100. If The 100 like the product and price, then the entrepreneurs go to a panel of Amazon executives and celebrity entrepreneurs. The panel selects which products join Amazon’s exclusive Buy It Now Store and award one entrepreneur $20,000 each episode.
The celebrity judges include Gwyneth Paltrow, Tony Hawk, Anthony Anderson, Christian Siriano, and Tabitha Brown. The resident entrepreneur judge is Jamie Siminoff, and the Amazon executive judges are Jenny Freshwater (VP US Fashion and Fitness), Tanner Elton (VP US Advertising Sales), Carmen Nestares (VP, NA Mktg & Prime Tech), and Michelle Rothman (VP Shopping PV WW).
In Wish List Games, a multi-episode holiday event, content creator Lele Pons joins Cannon as contestants play for the chance to win everything on their Amazon Wish Lists, totaling up to $25,000. In each episode, contestants are pulled from the audience to play a rotating series of fun and fantastical games. It all builds to the final round, where one contestant plays to win a prize for everyone in the audience.
And Pop Culture Jeopardy! puts a pop culture twist on the classic quiz show. Contestants play in teams of three and need to be experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers, Broadway to MMA, and Gen Z to Zendaya as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize of $300,000 and ultimate bragging rights.
