Star-Studded Lineup Revealed for Celebrity Jeopardy! Featuring Three Past Champions

The much-anticipated Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars is set to debut on March 13, featuring a lineup of 21 familiar faces, including the champions from the first three seasons. This exciting edition, hosted by Ken Jennings, invites celebrities to compete in the beloved game show format, with a substantial $1 million prize earmarked for the winners’ chosen charities. Initially, Mayim Bialik helmed season 1, but Ken Jennings stepped in to host the subsequent two seasons.

Celebrity Jeopardy! introduces a fresh twist on the traditional game by incorporating a Triple Jeopardy! round. Given that the contestants are playing for charitable causes, the show allows participants who have amassed $0 or negative scores to still engage in Final Jeopardy!. They receive a stake ($1,000 in season 1 and $500 in seasons 2 and 3) to wager, a departure from the standard Jeopardy! rules, where such players would be eliminated.

For the first time ever, Celebrity Jeopardy! will host an All Stars season, inviting back previous contestants for another chance to shine. Get ready to watch these stars return to the iconic Alex Trebek stage for Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars.

In an Instagram post, Celebrity Jeopardy! announced the cast with a video. The clip begins with Ken saying, “Everybody knows their names, but who’s got the star power to win it all?” The cast then responds by saying their own names, while standing at the Jeopardy! podium, some giving their answers in the form of a question in the traditional Jeopardy! format.

How Will Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars Work?

In addition, the $1 million grand prize for charity makes the stakes so much higher. Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars is certain to be thrilling.
