Celebrity Jeopardy! premieres Sunday, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m . ET on ABC. The new game series, hosted by Mayim Bialik, will play out like many celebrity game shows.
The stars featured on each episode will be competing to win money that’ll be donated to a charity of their choice in a similar vein to Celebrity Family Feud and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. The same Jeopardy rules apply. The stars a part of the show will be testing their knowledge against one another in categories that’ll challenge them to quickly think on their feet.
