Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

About The Show

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? brings adults back into the classroom environment, where they face trivia questions pulled directly from the elementary school curriculum.

Meet The Host

The original incarnation of the show was hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, the famed comedian, and actor who gave the show its unmistakable humor-driven edge. In 2019, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? was revived and found a new host in the wrestling superstar and accomplished actor, John Cena. His charisma and friendly rapport with contestants create a fun, yet challenging atmosphere.

How It Works

The trivia covers a comprehensive range of subjects from math, geography, and social studies to arts and more. Contestants find themselves back in a 5th grade-style classroom setting, faced with a series of primary school-level questions. Adding a twist to the mix are ""classmates"" - actual 5th graders who can assist contestants who are stuck on tough questions. The ultimate prize of $1 million is within reach, but the stakes are high - miss a question and you're out of the competition. And there's no quiet exit; contestants must declare on camera, "I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader."
