Kelce's show will follow the premise of the original, with an adult contestant trusting a group of fifth graders to help them answer 11 questions on a variety of subjects to win a $100,000 prize. “Are you smarter than a celebrity?” Class 5 students will be replaced with celebrities.
Kelce, 34, and the Kansas City Chiefs won their second straight Super Bowl in February. Eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time NFL All-Pro rose to prominence last season for Philadelphia Eagles great, Jason Kelce.
