Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/29/2024
This fun quiz show offers a combination of smarts and silliness as B-list guest celebrities answer questions to help contestants win as much money as possible. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/20/2024
Travis Kelce definitely has a Michael Strahan-esque future in media, given how much fun he is as host. Go to Full Review Armond White National Review 10/16/2024
Because so many celebrities presume to lecture us on behavior and politics, the game’s display of ignorance on both the professional and civilian side is stunning. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 10/16/2024

Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? is fine, but seems like more of missed opportunities—to reinvent this format, for more comedy—than anything else. Go to Full Review Romey Norton Ready Steady Cut 10/16/2024
2.5/5
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’s an ideal throwback to watch with family and friends in the evenings, which is clearly the market it’s aiming for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kayla Y @RT72415552 02/17/2025 Travis is a great host. The show is entertaining and an easy fun watch for the whole family See more Kelli S @RT74257379 01/10/2025 Kelce is a star here and his interactions with Ron, Nikki, Natasha & Ocho steal the show. I assumed Travis would be a bit awkward with this being his first hosting job but he’s charming and fantastic at connecting with the contestants while having to deflect being flirted with quite often (which is kind of weird given he’s the most famously taken man in the world). As Ron yelled (jokingly) at a contestant who wanted to touch Travus “he’s got a lady!!” To make it even more enjoyable I’d suggest make the jackpot worth more, questions a bit more difficult and swap out some of the celebs (Lala and Sophia) who don’t bring humor or personality with other comedians and would love to see another season. See more Ty M @RT51553114 11/19/2024 Fun gameshow. It's one my kids will watch with me. Travis is a good host with the patience of a saint The celebrities have their moments (Ron Funches is a favorite). The contestants talk too much and constantly insert something about themselves at every opportunity, or they go through a lame breakdown process out loud. It is obnoxious. Just play the game! See more Joe P @RT62698569 11/15/2024 Travis Kelce does a great job as host, but the show is too long, and it is. more about the celebrities than the contestant and their answer. This is the second game show from Amazon this season that is way too long and boring. At least I have jeopardy. See more Mary Anne S @RT54302421 11/14/2024 The answer is no. They are not smarter than a Fifth Grader. These poor contestants get a single smart celebrity and the rest are drop outs. It's embarrassing to watch the "celebrities" struggle to any grade past First. The original show was brainiac Fifth Graders who were genuinely of assistance. What was with the woman who wanted to win enough money for a Brazilian butt lift who claimed to be a track star and did not know the length of a marathon? She got one question right. As for Travis, you can't change out of the electric blue suit after six episodes? This belongs on the trash heap of game shows. See more Laura B @LJBall 10/17/2024 A fun show. So far, episode 2 and 3 are better than the first one. Brings some joy to this crazy world. See more Read all reviews
