"Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" Returning to Fox Lineup
by Michael Slezak
November 6, 2014

Better brush up on your Common Core — Fox is bringing "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" back to its primetime lineup.

Jeff Foxworthy, who hosted the game show when it debuted in 2007, will return as host, with Mark Burnett executive producing.

The network has not yet settled on a premiere date or time slot, though it is promising “new twists” for the revival.

"5th Grader", which pits adult contestants against the elementary-school set using questions derived from actual 1st- to 5th-grade textbooks, ran for three seasons on Fox and then in syndication through 2011.

“I have loved this competition from our first show and the timing couldn’t be better for 5th Grader to return to Fox, as there is nothing like it on television,” said Burnett, in a release. “Kids today are smarter than ever and the adults who try to take them on will have an even harder task ahead of them.”

Fox's Official Announcement:

Quote:

Popular quiz show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" returns for a brand-new season, beginning Tuesday, May 26 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Unlike the typical game show that measures intelligence, this show tests adults’ lack of knowledge – as revealed by how much they’ve forgotten since their grammar school days, proving that older doesn’t always mean wiser.

Executive-produced by Mark Burnett, and featuring returning host Jeff Foxworthy, as well as a top-notch group of grade schoolers to assist the adult contestants, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" will include new twists and fun elements for a new generation of viewers.
