The celebrity answers will sometimes surprise you, sometimes impress you, but they will always make viewers laugh.

In order to win big money, contestants need to predict which of our eclectic panel of celebrities also knows the correct answer," he continued. "Audiences will be constantly amused and surprised by our celebrity's answers. It's the classic case of 'you can't always judge a book by its cover,'" he concluded.
