Jimmy Kimmel is putting some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and reality TV’s strongest competitors to the test.
PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the celebrity lineup of ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which returns on Wednesday, July 22, with 16 famous duos competing to donate $1 million to a charity of their choice.
The latest batch of episodes will feature a mini Seinfeld reunion, some Saturday Night Live favorites and even a recent Jeopardy! champion teaming up with an A-list movie star, all in an effort to give back.

Michael Keaton will join Jon Lovett, Paul Scheer teams up with Rob Huebel, Awkwafina and director Paul Feig will be a pair, and Billy Porter and Leslie Odom Jr. will also give it a go.
The cast of competitors will be rounded out by Nobody Wants This‘ Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn, Sarah Jane Nader and sister Brooks Nader, and the SNL pairings of Colin Jost and Michael Che, as well as Will Forte and Taran Killam.
A few celebrity duos have won big before on the series, which Kimmel began hosting in April 2020.
The Office stars Oscar Nuñez and Kate Flannery scored $1 million for charity during the September 2025 season finale. With the help of costar Brian Baumgartner (their Phone-a-Friend), the duo came out victorious and donated their winnings to Planned Parenthood and Philabundance, a food bank serving the Philadelphia area.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire premieres Wednesday, July 22, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
