Game shows and celebrities have always been a fascinating mix. From classics like The Hollywood Squares and Password to modern hits like Celebrity Family Feud, bringing celebrities into the spotlight of game shows creates unforgettable television moments. There’s something exciting about seeing stars step out of their comfort zones. Sometimes, they impress us with their wit and knowledge. Other times, they leave us in stitches—or at a loss for words—with their unexpected or downright bizarre answers.

But for celebrities, one game show stands out as particularly challenging: Celebrity Jeopardy! It’s not just about having fun—it’s about stepping in front of the world and testing whether you truly have the brains to match your fame. That pressure alone makes for compelling television.

He acknowledged that for many contestants, this is their first time facing the iconic quiz show’s tough questions. Even so, their performances have been nothing short of striking. Whether it’s their surprising skill or sheer determination, these celebrity players make this season a must-watch. (Click on the media bar below to hear Ken Jennings.)
