White can’t wait to see rapper Snoop Dogg compete in the season premiere on Sunday, September 25. “I met Snoop Dogg years ago and he told me he was a big fan, so I can’t wait to see if he’s still a big fan,” White revealed.

In the first round, celebrity contestants will start with $100 to $500 and then go up to $200 to $1000 in Double Jeopardy. In the Triple Jeopardy round, contestants will answer clues worth between $300 and $1500.
