Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?

Each episode of the game show features one lucky adult contestant navigating through 11 elementary curriculum questions with the assistance of a classroom of celebrities. The contestant has the chance to win a grand prize of $100,000 by relying on the celebrities' knowledge. They are not pitted against the stars but are encouraged to seek their help and even peek at their answers. During the climactic final round, the contestant chooses a celebrity partner to strategize with before making their final decision on the $100,000 question, always set at a 6th-grade level.
