Hold onto your dunce caps. Fox is reviving the game show where adults face off against elementary school kids, with a disheartening twist. The new title: Are You Smarter Than a 2nd Grader?
Sources say the change is a direct response to, ahem, recent events, which suggest the average American adult's intelligence has taken a nosedive. Whether it's the doomscrolling or the reality TV, fifth-grade trivia is now considered too ambitious for grown-ups.
If you've always dreamed of being humiliated on national television by a child who still believes in the Tooth Fairy, this is your chance. Don't expect questions about long division or the American Revolution. The categories are basic spelling, counting to ten and identifying farm animals.
Producers say a pilot for Are You Smarter Than a Kindergartner? is already in development, as a backup.
