‘Shark Tank’: Who is joining Ashton Kutcher as a guest shark this season?

“Shark Tank” for the most part has taken on a specific strategy with some of its format over the years: If it’s not broke, why fix it? This is why the majority of the members of the panel are also people who have been a part of the show more or less since the very beginning. We did lose Kevin Harrington in favor of Mark Cuban, but Robert Herjavec, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, and Daymond John have all been around from the very beginning of the show. Lori Greiner joined a season after Mark did.

One of the only ways the show shakes things up at this point is by occasionally bringing in “guest sharks” who make some investments and give the show a fresh perspective. Last year, we saw Nick Woodman, known mostly for his work on the GoPro, make some investments across multiple episodes. This week ABC has confirmed their new lineup of guests to appear throughout the upcoming season.

Ashton Kutcher – Obviously known for acting on “That 70’s Show” and “Two and a Half Men,” Kutcher has also been an investor in several tech companies over the years.

Troy Carter – He has worked extensively with Lady Gaga, and now works with his company Atom Factory. He has funded such companies in the past as Uber and Spotify, which are now household names.

Chris Sacca – Known for being an aggressive venture capitalist, Sacca is a self-made billionaire and has invested into companies like Twitter and Kickstarter.

Our guess would be that many of these guest sharks will replace Herjavec on certain episodes, given that this is the way it has happened in the past. At this point only Cuban and O’Leary appear in every episode.
