Ken Jennings Quizzed Again
Fox's "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader" will have a new roster of celebrity players going for cash for charity in the new season of the show, which premieres Sept. 5.
And "Jeopardy!" whiz Ken Jennings, who was living in Utah during his ascent up the quiz show ladder, will be one of them. Here's the relevant info from the press release.
Host Jeff Foxworthy returns to the head of the class to lead a new batch of 5th graders that will test their smarts alongside celebrity contestants competing throughout the season for their favorite charities. Season Three kicks off with supermodel Kathy Ireland and Georgia State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox going for the gold star in the special two-hour season premiere Friday, Sept. 5
Other notables attending class this season include TV personality Star Jones ("The View"), actress Jennie Garth ("Beverly Hills, 90210"), KISS front man Gene Simmons, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, zookeeper Jack Hanna and actor Dean Cain ("Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman"). Also going for extra credit and hoping to reach the top prize of $1 million are astronaut Robert "Hoot" Gibson, "Jeopardy!" record-holder Ken Jennings and Nobel Prize Laureate George Fitzgerald Smoot III.
