Where do they get these people...?
Alright I'll admit I watched it... Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader (or better known as Gameshows for Dummies). This is where they take adults who proclaim to have degrees from UCLA but who couldn't quite pass the auditions for Jeopardy, and have them compete against 10 year olds by answering elementary school questions. Throw in Jeff Foxworthy and you get a gameshow spurned from his joke about "you might be a redneck if your dad walks you to school because you're both in the same grade."
The guy with the UCLA degree needed help on the first 3 questions, and "dropped out" on the 4th for a prize of $5000. The questions he needed help on were like "What month does the holiday Columbus Day fall in?" He guessed September. C'mon gimme a break. Hopefully the board at UCLA were watching and retract his degree.
But then I also don't remember us learning in the 5th grade that the first president to be impeached was Andrew Johnson (who?). In fact, I don't think I knew what "impeached" meant in the 5th grade. I also don't remember figuring the area of a triangle and calculating the length of the sides... are they really teaching things like that in grade school nowadays?
I don't have very high hopes for the next adult contestant either... she struggled on the first question about the name of the ship the Pilgrims sailed to America in... geez, where do they find these people?
Heck, let me be on a game show! We can still have Jeff Foxworthy as a host.... it can be called "What's your husband thinking?"... so sticking with the theme of Foxworthy's jokes I know I have two choices of answers... "I want a beer" or "I wanna see something naked".
