A game show that tests adults’ lack of knowledge by revealing how much they’ve forgotten since elementary school.
Contestants can seek help from real 5th graders to answer questions from 1st- to 5th-grade textbooks and try for the top prize of $1million.

Class resumes for the third session of the hit quiz show ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER?. Acclaimed comedian Jeff Foxworthy is at the head of the class as host of this atypical game show, which measures adults’ lack of knowledge – as revealed by how much they’ve forgotten since grammar school. The family-friendly fun continues next season when the show enrolls a new class of 5th graders.
On the show, adult contestants find themselves revisiting the classroom, tackling subjects they’ve already been taught – from art to geography and math to social studies. The test questions, derived from actual textbooks used in the 1st through 5th grades, are similar to the following:
1.             1st Grade Social Studies: What was the first name of the first U.S. First Lady?
2.             2nd Grade Science: The chimpanzee’s native habitat is on what continent?
3.             3rd Grade English: What is the singular form of the word “lice”?
4.             4th Grade Literature: Who wrote the book “Little House on the Prairie”?
5.             5th Grade Science:  What is the most abundant element in the universe?
When the questions prove to be challenging, as they inevitably do, the contestants are not alone; there is a way to “cheat” in this classroom. Adults can get some elementary help by using a “peek,” “copy” or “save” from actual 5th grade classmates to determine the correct answer and graduate toward the top prize of $1 million.
Highlights of the upcoming season include the first $1 million dollar winner, celebrity contestants Gene Simmons, Star Jones, Jennie Garth, Kathy Ireland, Sugar Ray Leonard and notable appearances from an astronaut, a Noble Peace Prize winner and “Jeopardy!” record-breaker Ken Jennings, who all enter the classroom to be quizzed for charity.
