Elizabeth Wagmeister Chief Correspondent For years, Keltie Knight has been interviewing Hollywood’s biggest stars. A longtime entertainment correspondent, the on-air personality has rubbed shoulders with A-listers on red carpets, at premieres and award shows. Now, she’s recruiting those stars to appear on her own show, “Superfan,” which premieres Wednesday night on CBS.
“Superfan” is a musical game show where fans compete in multiple rounds of trivia to prove that they are their favorite artist’s No.1 fan. Each episode will feature a different musical icon, and one deserving super-fan will win a once-in-a-lifetime prize each week. Gloria Estefan, Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town, Pitbull, Shania Twain and LL Cool J are among the first season’s celebrity talent.
Knight — who has interviewed all of these celebrities — created the show and serves as executive producer and host. “Superfan” is a passion project for Knight, who comes from a musical background, getting her start as a backup dancer for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, and as one of the Radio City Rockettes. Known to TV audiences for her work as a correspondent on the syndicated newsmagazines “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” and for hosting “The Thanksgiving Day Parade” on CBS, Knight’s relationship with the network dates back years.
