Ana Navarro, Rachel Brosnahan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and more heading to “Celebrity Jeopardy” season 3
Corbin Bleu, Yvette Nicole Brown, Seth Green, and Roy Wood Jr. will also compete on the game show.
A new batch of stars is heading to Celebrity Jeopardy.
Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal that Ana Navarro, Rachel Brosnahan, and Neil deGrasse Tyson will compete on season 3 of the all-celebs game show. The new batch of episodes will premiere on ABC on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Navarro has been a permanent cohost on The View since 2022. She first joined the show in 2013 as a contributor, and became a weekly guest cohost in 2018. Navarro cohosts the daytime show alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
Brosnahan, best known for her Emmy-winning turn as the titular comedian in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, will kick off a busy 2025 with her Celebrity Jeopardy appearance. The former House of Cards actress will star in the thriller The Amateur opposite Rami Malek, which is set for release on April 11. She'll return to the big screen in her biggest movie role to date: Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman, which will kick off the DCU on July 11.

Tyson, perhaps the foremost celebrity scientist of the 21st century, has previously appeared on multiple episodes of mainline Jeopardy and Sports Jeopardy as a guest clue presenter. (And the fact that he's an astrophysicist rather than an entertainer should give him a pretty clear advantage over his competitors, right?)
Other competitors this season include Blake Anderson (Workaholics), Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), D'Arcy Carden (The Good Place), Margaret Cho (Fire Island), Seth Green (Robot Chicken), Max Greenfield (New Girl), Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls), Camilla Luddington (Grey’s Anatomy), Natalie Morales (Dead to Me), Melissa Peterman (Happy's Place), and Roy Wood Jr. (The Daily Show).
The full lineup also includes Brian Jordan Alvarez (English Teacher), W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America), Sherry Cola (Joy Ride), Chris Distefano (Benders), Omar J. Dorsey (Queen Sugar), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Fortune Feimster (The Mindy Project), David Friedberg (All-In), Mina Kimes (ESPN's Around The Horn), Phoebe Robinson (Everything's Trash), Robin Thede (A Black Lady Sketch Show), and Jackie Tohn (Nobody Wants This).
