Plot Synopsis

In this latest installment of the iconic series PASSWORD, host Keke Palmer welcomes contestants from all walks of life, who are partnered with Jimmy Fallon and other celebrities to face off in the ultimate game of words. Fallon plays in each of the eight hour-long episodes as the celebrity/contestant duos compete for cash prizes by guessing a secret password using only one-word clues. The premiere episode is dedicated to Betty White, with Jon Hamm competing against Fallon. Regularly playing on LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON and previous editions of PASSWORD, White has long been thought of as the game's greatest player. The season culminates with a special episode featuring a star-studded, all-celebrity lineup playing for charity.

On Tuesday, March 12, 2024 at 10pm ET/PT, NBC premiered the second season of PASSWORD. Season 2 includes even more celebrity guests, including Chance the Rapper, Laverne Cox, Nikki & Brie Garcia, Lauren Graham, Wiz Khalifa, Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny Knoxville, Liza Koshy, Howie Mandel, Joe Manganiello, Joel McHale, Meghan Trainor, Lindsey Vonn and Roy Wood Jr. Keke Palmer, who made Emmy history this year by becoming the first Black woman to win for Outstanding Host for a Game Show, commands the podium while contestants from all walks of life partner with Fallon and other celebrities to face off in the ultimate game of words. Season 2 continues to draw upon gameplay elements from past versions of the hit format but also includes new series additions. New this season, "Shoot the Moon!" can be played when a contestant first sees the password and is confident that they can get their teammate to guess it with just one clue; that player can then tell Palmer they want to "Shoot the Moon!". If they correctly guess the password with one clue, they'll get eight points instead of the usual six. But, if they get it wrong, their opponent will get a chance to steal. New for tiebreakers, Palmer will take creative license to deliver clues in her own voice with the opportunity to "perform" the words until one contestant buzzes in with an answer, instead of the show presenting clues. In addition, the second round of games in each episode now includes a special category or theme that relates to all the passwords in that round. Also new, "Password Prize of the Night" randomly selects a moment during the game where a special sound will play to signify that the next password is also worth a fabulous prize.
