Hilarious new show

For those of you who had not seen the previews for Fox's new show, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, then you may be excused. If you did see the previews and did not watch the premier last night, then you should be ashamed, very ashamed. This is quite possibly the funniest, most hilarious show going right now.
It is hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, of the You Might be a Redneck fame (for the record, I have not seen any of his shows, but I do know who he is), and he does a pretty good job of humiliating the contestants (the adults, not the 5th graders), although the two that were on last night did a pretty good job by themselves. The premise is that contestants compete for a million dollars, but they have to answer questions ranging from 1st grade history to 5th grade science.
Seems easy enough, right? Wrong! The first contestant last night was unable to answer his first 3 questions (that is as far as he got) on his own. That is just down right terrible when you consider he was a 40 year old college graduate from UCLA who majored in US History. Side note, one of the questions he missed was a US History question, how ironic!
To give you an idea of some of the questions that were asked, here are a few:

1. What month does Columbus Day fall in?
2. Who was the first president to be impeached?
3. What ship did the Pilgrims come over on?
   

Can we as a society really be that dumb? To answer that question, I suggest you check out the show..................
