Here Are All of the Celebrity Guests Who Will Be on ‘$100,000 Pyramid’ This Season
Published July 7 2021, 3:56 p.m. ET
We’re truly living in the golden age of game show reboots. There’s the new Press Your Luck, The Celebrity Dating Game, Card Sharks, Name That Tune … we could go on, but you get the idea. If you’re just not feeling up for the hard-hitting drama or twisty-turny plot of a primetime TV show, game shows are absolutely perfect. There may be a bit of drama every once in a while, but the stakes are usually very low and everything is sure to be wrapped up by the end of the episode. What a relief!
One of our current fave game shows these days is the return of The $100,000 Pyramid, which is currently airing Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. on ABC. And, just as with the original show, the best part of Pyramid is easily all of the celebrity guests. Here’s a look at which celebrities you can see compete with their non-celeb counterparts this season!
Here’s a look at the celebrity guests on ‘$100,000 Pyramid’:
As anyone who grew up watching the original Pyramid knows, the game features two teams of two people: a celebrity and a non-celebrity.
