Get ready to buzz in—Celebrity Jeopardy! is bringing back some serious brainpower.
ABC has unveiled the lineup for Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars, set to premiere Friday, March 13, and this season’s tournament raises the stakes. According to PEOPLE, three reigning champions—Ike Barinholtz, Lisa Ann Walter and W. Kamau Bell—will return to defend their titles after winning their respective seasons.
This time, however, they won’t be starting from scratch. Per ABC, the trio will be seeded directly into the semifinals.
Joining them are 18 celebrities ready to shake up the board. According to the outlet, the lineup includes Mark Duplass, Rachel Dratch, Andy Richter, Macaulay Culkin, Cynthia Nixon, Margaret Cho, Ray Romano, Katie Nolan, Mina Kimes, Steven Weber, Sean Gunn, Roy Wood Jr., Patton Oswalt, Robin Thede,Mo Rocca, and Mira Sorvino. Jackie Tohn and Tim Simons of Nobody Wants This are also slated to compete.
The All Stars tournament will span 10 episodes, featuring six quarterfinals, three semifinals and one winner-takes-all finale.
One particularly fun (and fan-favorite) return is Culkin. The Home Alone star previously competed on Celebrity Jeopardy! in 2023 after being referenced as a clue on the show dozens of times. “You have been part of a ‘Jeopardy!’ clue, like, 42 times over your career,” host Ken Jennings told him at the time, per The Post. Culkin laughed, responding, “Oh, wow! Look mom, I’m famous! I’m a factoid! Trivial.”
Jennings joked he wasn’t sure if Culkin himself would appear on the board that night. “That would make it so much easier. For real,” Culkin teased. “I would be so much less nervous.”
During that appearance, Culkin competed on behalf of the San Diego Zoo and Wildlife Alliance—a reminder that, beyond bragging rights, the stakes are philanthropic.
