Cazzie David is part of a new duo with Larry David on season five of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The pair lands in a lineup that also includes Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Billy Porter and Awkwafina, with Jimmy Kimmel returning as host.
The season premieres on Wednesday, July 22 at 8 p.m. PT/ET on ABC. Weekly episodes will follow in the same slot, and the show will be available on Disney+/Hulu on a one-day delay every Thursday.
Larry David and Cazzie David
The duo listing is the key detail for Cazzie David: she is not just part of the cast pool, but named beside Larry David as one of the celebrity pairings for the fifth season. That setup places her in the same framework as Colin Jost and Michael Che, Jason Alexander and Wayne Knight, and Taran Killam and Will Forte.
Those pairings suggest the season is using a team format rather than a single-contestant rollout for at least part of the run. The source says the lineup is star-studded, but it does not spell out how the duo format will work inside the game, so the practical answer for viewers is to watch for how the pairs are handled once the season starts.
ABC at 8 p.m. PT/ET
Wednesday, July 22 is the first date that matters for anyone tracking the season’s rollout. That premiere puts the roster in play immediately, and Jimmy Kimmel’s return as host keeps the show’s presentation consistent with the revival campaign around season five.
For viewers, the schedule is straightforward: watch live on ABC at 8 p.m. PT/ET, or wait one day and stream the episode on Disney+/Hulu every Thursday. The live-TV options named in the source also include DirecTV, Fubo, Sling and Hulu + Live TV, which gives the season a broad distribution footprint from the start.
Season five lineup
Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Billy Porter and Awkwafina add to a roster built to drive attention around the premiere, but the duo list is what makes Cazzie David’s placement notable. In a season built around multiple celebrity pairings, the competition will hinge on how each team handles the game together rather than on individual billing alone.
That is the part worth watching on July 22: whether Larry David and Cazzie David operate as a true unit inside the format, and whether the show treats the duo structure as the main attraction rather than a side note.
