In 2007, adults were challenged to prove their intelligence opposite a group of kids on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, which spent two years on Fox, then two more in syndication, before being put to bed.
Now, however, the series is making a comeback, without original host Jeff Foxworthy.
You probably know by now that Nickelodeon has acquired the rights to the series, and the new version, hosted by wrestler-actor-rapper John Cena ("Bumblebee"), launches June 10 as a nightly series. Cena, who has hosted the Kids Choice Awards, and has made some movies and guest appearances on Nick shows, doubles as an executive producer.
To give you some idea of how the game is played, here's a sample from Foxworthy's run, with special guests Drew & Nick Lachey.
That Cena is hosting probably shouldn't surprise anyone that knows about the past association between the show & WWE.
Rating: A.
