Who wants to be a millionaire is heating up summer with a new series of celebrity contestants looking to raise money for their favorite charities.

PEOPLE can confirm that the premiere episode will be shown Kenan & Kel alum and Good burger 2 stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell competing for the top prize, as well as Oh, Hello on Broadway starring John Mulaney and Nick Kroll.
It is no surprise that the duo will be competing side by side, as both have long-standing friendships.
While talking about their “brotherhood” in an interview with PEOPLE last November, Mitchell, 45, said the moments he has with Thompson, 46, are what he cherishes most about their friendship.
“We’ve known each other since we were kids. We’ve both had our journeys and journeys together. That’s the friendship that is [able to last] through the test of time, which is great,” he said.
