The first season of Celebrity Weakest Link is kicking off with big TV reunions and some iconic pairings to keep things interesting.
A trailer for the new season, hosted by the sharp-tongued Jane Lynch, promises that no one— not even ex-talk show sidekicks—will escape her cutting wit.
“You’re terrible people who suck at this game,” Lynch jokes. The trailer then cuts to a surprised comedian, and actor Andy Richter letting go of an “Ohhhh!”
Meanwhile, Celebrity Weakest Link will feature a “High School Reunion” episode with actors who starred together as teenagers. Scott Porter and Aimeé Teegarden from Friday Night Lights, Daphne Reid and Tatyana Ali from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Shenae Grimes and Matt Lanter from 90210, and Barry Watson and Beverley Mitchell from 7th Heaven will all appear in the episode.
The game show will also reunite Lynch with the Glee cast in an episode featuring Max Adler, Dot-Marie Jones, Heather Morris, Alex Newell, Chord Overstreet, Amber Riley, Becca Tobin and Jenna Ushkowitz.
Several fan-favorite TV doctors are also coming together for a special episode. The lineup includes Torrey DeVitto, Dr. Terry Dubrow, Ryan Eggold, Jason George, Hill Harper, Dr. Will Kirby, Dr. Sandra Lee (better known as Dr. Pimple Popper), and Kal Penn.
