The $100,000 Pyramid Format and Cast
The game is split into two parts: the main game and the Winners’ Circle, which is a special round for winners.
A pyramid-shaped gameboard with six different categories is available. The goal of a team is for one member to correctly guess the category by listening to the clues provided by the other member. The participant must remember that when providing the hints, he or she cannot say any word that is a derivative of what is already in the category.
After a team has won the main round, they are entered into the Winner’s Circle group. Nonverbal clues are prohibited, and participants’ hands are bound so that they cannot use them in any way when offering clues. Since the show’s inception, the rules have undergone several changes, but the basic structure has remained the same. Of course, the entire process of determining the actual answer takes place within a certain period, and once the time limit for giving a specific answer has passed, the contestant must move on.
Michael Strahan is set to return as the show’s host in season 6. Of course, he’ll be joined by a new group of celebrities and contestants. A unique feature of this show is that celebrities pair up with contestants, and the duos compete against each other to determine who will win.
Leslie Jones, Rosie O’Donnell, Cheryl Hines, Anthony Anderson, Italia Ricci, Kal Penn, Ayesha Curry, Graham Elliot, Joe Gatto, Sal Vulcano, Roselyn Sanchez, and Ross Matthews were among the celebrities who participated in the fourth season.
