“Celebrity Family Feud” celebrates 100 episodes and its 10th anniversary, beginning TUESDAY, JULY 9. The evening will kick off with the previously announced special “Family Feud: Decades of Laughs,” honoring 50 years of the iconic game show, followed by the season premiere of “Celebrity Family Feud.” Steve Harvey serves as the judge, jury and star when “Judge Steve Harvey” returns the following week on TUESDAY, JULY 16.

Renewed for a new season and celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary, Jimmy Kimmel hosts “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” premiering WEDNESDAY, JULY 10.

This high-stakes primetime quiz show will test contestants’ knowledge with 13 true-or-false trivia questions but with a cunning twist: Just how well do they know what they know … and, just as importantly, how well do they know what they don’t know?
