With Pyramid taping underway, ABC has released this season's list of celebrity players, courtesy of Futon Critic ...
As usual, there's a smattering of strong players (Najimy, Gasteyer), new faces who may do well (Richter, Kevin Smith) and a few who may be cringe inducing (the over-under of explaining to Kellie Pickler how the game works could be about 3 hours.)
One interesting name on the list is Rita Moreno, who appeared on "Pyramid" many times during the Clark and Davidson eras. And at 86, she may be the oldest celebrity "Pyramid" player ever.
