Fox is pulling out all the stops for the first season of Celebrity Weakest Link, promising plenty of exciting TV reunions and iconic pairings abound throughout the competition series.
Notably, host Jane Lynch will get to reunite with the Glee cast for an episode featuring Max Adler, Dot Marie Jones, Heather Morris, Alex Newell, Chord Overstreet, Amber Riley, Becca Tobin, and Jenna Ushkowitz.

That crew rarely gets together anymore (on screen, at least), despite the enduring popularity of the former Fox series, making this quite a special reunion. A trailer for the upcoming season hints that no one is safe from Lynch’s ribbing, not even her former cast mates.
“Listen up, dorks, I’ll ask you questions one at a time,” Lynch jokes. The trailer then cuts to Riley with a surprised look on her face.
Celebrity Weakest Link will also include a “High School Reunion” episode, bringing together actors who previously starred together as teenagers. Scott Porter and Aimeé Teegarden will represent Friday Night Lights in the episode, which will also feature 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.
A few beloved TV doctors will join forces for one episode, including Torrey Devitto, Dr. Dubrow, Ryan Eggold, Jason George, Hill Harper, Dr. Will Kirby, Dr. Sandra Lee (Dr. Pimple Popper), and Kal Penn.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt will make an appearance for an episode full of reality TV couples including The Bachelor‘s Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei, Love Is Blind‘s Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga.
Speaking of the Housewives franchise, there’s also an episode just for the “Ex Wives Club” that will include Cynthia Bailey, Tamar Braxton, Kate Gosselin, Vicki Gunvalson, Dorinda Medley, Shanna Moakler, Kendra Wilkinson, and Jill Zarin.
