[Edit]Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? TV Show Guide

Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? is an American game show that originally aired in 2007, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. It ran through 2011 on Fox, then returned in 2015 for a fourth season. In 2019, Nickelodeon picked up the show with new host John Cena.

On the show, a single adult contestant answered 10 questions, plus a bonus question, in an attempt to win a cash prize. The first correct answer was worth $1,000, the second worth $2,000, the third worth $5,000, the 4th worth $10,000 and the fifth worth $25,000. If they answered all 5 correctly, they were guaranteed to win $25,000.

Play continued, with the sixth question worth $50,000, the seventh worth $100,000, the eighth worth $175,000, the ninth worth $300,000, and the tenth worth $500,000. If they answered the final bonus question correctly, they won $1,000,000!

Questions ranged in difficulty from first to fifth-grade level and spanned a variety of subjects, including math, science, and geography.

Each season, 5 to 6 elementary school kids were cast members on the show. Contestants could get help from one of the school children present on the stage, in the form of 2 cheats and 1 save.

The first cheat was a peek, and the contestant could peek at one child’s answer and decide if they wanted to use it. The second cheat was a copy, and the contestant could copy the child’s answer but wasn’t able to see it first. For the save, if the contestant answered the question incorrectly, they could be saved if the child’s answer was correct and continue playing the game.
