List of Celebrity Big Brother (American TV series) episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celebrity Big Brother, also known as Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, is the American adaptation of the reality competition television franchise Celebrity Big Brother, which was created by John de Mol.[1] The series premiered on CBS as counterprogramming to NBC's coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics on February 7, 2018.[2] The series has aired for two seasons and focuses on a group of celebrities, known as HouseGuests, that live in a purpose-built house, known as the Big Brother house, with no contact from the outside world for approximately a month. The HouseGuests try to avoid eviction with the aim of being the last remaining HouseGuest in order to win a grand prize of $250,000. Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan (Lim Jahey) serve as executive producers and the show is produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment in association with Endemol Shine North America.[3] Julie Chen Moonves hosts the series, continuing a position she has held since Big Brother premiered on CBS in 2000.[3] It is filmed in Los Angeles.[4]
