Is GENE SIMMONS 'Smarter Than A 5th Grader?'

August 20, 2008

According to the Orlando Sentinel, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons is among the celebrity players that will take part in the new season of Fox's "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"

Model Kathy Ireland will kick off the game show's third season at 8 p.m. Friday, September 5. Also playing this season will be actor Dean Cain, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, TV personality Star Jones, "Beverly Hills, 90210" alumna Jennie Garth, astronaut Robert "Hoot" Gibson, zookeeper Jack Hanna, astrophysicist George Fitzgerald Smoot III (a Nobel laureate) and "Jeopardy!" all-star Ken Jennings.

According to Pop Tower, "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?", hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, is a typical game show measuring adults' lack of knowledge – as revealed by how much they've forgotten since grammar school. Grownup contestants find themselves in a classroom setting on "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?", revisiting their youth, as they tackle subjects they've already been taught, ranging from art to geography and math to social studies. However, the players are not alone on "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?", and there is a way for contestants to "cheat" in this classroom. The adults have the opportunity to get some help – in the form of elementary advice from real grade-schoolers who have hit the books.
