Foxworthy Hosts New FOX Game Show

One of the country’s most popular rednecks, Jeff Foxworthy is set to host the new FOX quiz show, titled ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.’

The show will involve adults having to answer a series of questions based on information in 5th grade textbooks. Adults will risk making fools of themselves on national television when faced with answering questions a 12 year old would know. Actual 5th graders will also be present in the show for the adults to consult with.

Foxworthy, who is well known for being a self-proclaimed “redneck” will be there to host the show, provide a bit of humor and make sure the adults feel sufficiently foolish whenever they answer a question wrong.

FOX is currently only planning to air six episodes of the show. The first three will follow ‘American Idol’ on February 27th through March 1st. After that it will air on Thursdays starting March 8th.
