Contestants can also select one celebrity to help them answer the final question, which will be at a sixth-grade level and worth $100,000.

Celebrities featured on the show include Cincinnati-born comedian Nikki Glaser, comedian Natasha Leggero, former NFL and Bengals quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, former Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"star Garcelle Beauvais and more.
