First Look: Aaron Rodgers, Kim Kardashian, More Appear On ABC’s “Big Fan” Game Show

This January, a new ABC game show will bring stars like Aaron Rodgers and Kim Kardashian face to face with their biggest fans.

Entitled “Big Fan,” the Andy Richter-hosted series premieres on January 9.

Each episode features a celebrity as well as three of his or her biggest fans. Contestants will go head-to-head to see who knows more about the celebrity.

“The winner will move on to the final round in an ultimate showdown, celebrity vs. super fan, to see who knows most about the celebrity. If the super fan wins, they will be awarded a priceless experience with the celebrity,” notes ABC.

The game is based on the “Who Knows…?” sketch from “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Kimmel is on board as an executive producer.

In addition to Rodgers and Kardashian, other confirmed celebrity participants include Matthew McConaughey and Kristen Bell.
