It's got to be a sad sad day when you would volunteer yourself for this show. it's a new game show on Fox that premiered last night. It will be on again tonight so if you've got nothing better to do, check it out. It's good for a laugh since it's hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. :D

Too bad they ask those questions that you knew so well back then, but when it comes to real life application, the Mayflower is not really important- I knew that answer by the way! Even bet my hubby $1 that I was right!:guitarist

I just found it funny that a guy who majored in U.S. History didn't know the answer to who was the first president impeached.

Oh no...I don't see this show lasting long, unless they change the format, or it just get's funnier.

I set all my shows up to record and watch later in the night. Really don't want my kids watching CSI.

No kidding!!! I use to think Ron White was drinking tea or applejuice, but he's pretty lit up by the end of his routine! I wonder what kind of cigars he smokes.

I love it when he tells his Tater Salad joke. Hilarious!:wah:
The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. Hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss. I know, 'cause that kid was me.

Seems as though Kent Brockman would be a more appropriate host.

The newscaster and frequent TV host of many shows on channel 6 in Springfield.

The whole concept sounds Simpsonesque. I can imagine couchloads of Homers feeling superior because they know an answer or two more than the dimwits that will invariably be on this show.
