ABC's Celebrity Relative Guessing Game Reason for fame is back with a new season, with 11 Nepo players competing to guess each other's celebrity families for a chance to win a $100,000 prize.
Last season featured Tom Hanks' niece (who caused a furor when her identity was revealed), Eddie Murphy's daughter, Donny Osmond's son, Jimmy Carter's grandson, and the brother of show winner Nick Cannon, but hosts Franklin and Kevin Jonas promise there will be even more amazing relatives to come this season.
“I think they're the most famous relatives ever, the most famous people ever,” Kevin revealed about the season 3 cast in an interview with SiriusXM. The Smith Sisters Live.
