‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ Unveils Shocking New Contestant Lineup
Celebrity Jeopardy! has kicked off, with its first episode under its belt. Undeniably, fans were happy to see the series continue with Ken Jennings hosting Season 3. But now fans are even more excited as the show unveils a shocking new contestant lineup.
Celebrity Jeopardy! Is Off To A Good Start
Undoubtedly, Celebrity Jeopardy! comes with a huge element of unpredictability. Although Jeopardy! is known for its intense battle of the mind, its spinoffs had a different feel to them. On January 8, the show kicked off its first episode of the season.
Fans were treated to seeing Max Greenfield (New Girl), Camilla Luddington (Grey’s Anatomy), and comedian W. Kamau Bell take on the tricky battle of wits. Furthermore, they get the chance to give back money to the charity of their choice. In the first episode, W. Kamau Bell took the victory.
While celebrities on the show have already mastered their craft in acting, comedy, or other areas of notable publicity, they get to show off their smarts in the challenging trivia match. But when Celebrity Jeopardy! revealed the newest contenders for the upcoming episode, fans were shocked.

Unmistakably, some of the responses indicated that the odds might be stacked against two of the competitors. Furthermore, some people have already declared the winner before seeing the new episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! According to the post, fans can look forward to Melissa Peterman, Jackie Tohn, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson showing their knack for the quiz show.

Fans Spot The Winner
With the popular astrophysicist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson in the running, fans think that Melissa Peterman and Jackie Tohn might as well hang it up. But the game isn’t always a given. Even if Neil has a mighty IQ score, actress and comedian, Melissa Peterman, could have a faster trigger finger. Or actress, writer, and musician, Jackie Tohn may have the right answers tucked away in her treasure trove of knowledge. Time will tell how the show plays out. But fans had a few things to say about the upcoming episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! once they learned about the competition.
- One commenter finds the lineup hilarious, “The way I would quit on the spot if I saw Neil there 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣.”
- Someone else declares, “Tyson will mop the floor lmao.”
- Furthermore, another fan says, “This is so unfair 😭.”
- However, one commenter had a low blow for this season’s lineup. They said, “‘Celebrity’ jeopardy is used a bit loosely here. Neil is the only celeb on the show.”
- “Yes, Jackie! This will be epic!!”
Celebrity Jeopardy! Gives A Sneak Peek Of The Contestants For Season 3
During the Celebrity Jeopardy! sneak peek, Jackie Tohn snarks, “Well, I’m not going win against Neil DeGrasse Tyson, so who cares.” Likewise, Melissa Peterman is crossing her fingers for categories she thinks she can win. For instance, she believes “Real Housewives,” “Things in Melissa’s Closet,” or “Ingredients of Chicken Noodle Soup” would be manageable. However, Neil DeGrasse Tyson immediately was ready to debate Pluto’s worthiness as a planet…spoiler, “Pluto had it coming.” But fans can look forward to other great celebrities taking their shot during Season 3. For instance, Blake Anderson, Corbin Bleu, Rachel Brosnahan, Margaret Cho, D’Arcy Carden, Robin Thede, Sherry Cola, Phoebe Robinson, Susie Essman, and Fortune Feimster are part of the lineup too.
