Premise
Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? focuses on the Mystery Inc. gang as they solve mysteries while also encountering many memorable celebrities, similar in The New Scooby-Doo Movies. Guest stars that have appeared include Chris Paul, Sia, Halsey, Ricky Gervais, Kenan Thompson, Wanda Sykes, Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Jim Gaffigan, and Mark Hamill, along with other fictional characters such as Steve Urkel, Batman, Sherlock Holmes, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Magilla Gorilla and Mr. Peebles, and The Funky Phantom.
Unlike in The New Scooby-Doo Movies, the show is intended for a 30-minute block on TV instead of a 60-minute block and includes somewhat of a parody of the guest stars.
The tone of the show is comedic and does not include an overarching plot. The animation style is new to the Scooby-Doo franchise but is designed to look similar to how cartoons were drawn in the 1960s and 1970s.
