The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been selected to host an upcoming game show called “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” Amazon MGM Studios announced in a press release April 16. 

The new series — a spinoff of the funny quiz show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” — will air its first 20-episode season on Prime Video. 

“Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” will be an updated version of the original game, which debuted on Fox in 2007. In each episode of Kelce’s show, viewers will meet an adult contestant who will use the help of a group of celebrities to answer 11 questions, the press release explained. The questions will come from a variety of elementary-level subjects. 

During the final round, one star will be selected to discuss the question, which will be at a sixth grade level, with the contestant. If the answer is right, the contestant wins the $100,000 prize.
