Exclusive Interview: Cody, from 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader'

January 17, 2008

Cody is a fifth grader.  This much is clear.  Why, then, is Cody someone you might want to care about?  Well, thanks to the FOX network, America is currently witnessing the era of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, the game show which tests the knowledge of adults against the common knowledge of a fifth grader.  The premise is a good one, the lovable Jeff Foxworthy is the host, and who doesn't like to see everyday humans get outwitted by 11 year old mini-humans.  The catch is this: we got the chance to interview Cody, one of the fifth graders on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, and he's a smart dude.  Really smart.  When I was in fifth grade, well, I don't really remember fifth grade all that well, and I'm not very old.  But, I know this: if someone tried to interview me, I'd be shaking in my boots.  Not Cody, though. 

Below you will find the mp3 audio of the interview.

A screenshot from the Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? mobile gameFOX's Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? has branched beyond the television screen once again, entering the world of mobile gaming.  Early this month, Capcom Interactive, together with FOX Mobile Entertainment, announced the mobile game version of the hit show, coinciding with the premiere of its highly-anticipated second season.

Clueless Contestants Make '5th Grader' Olivia go "Wow!"

October 18, 2007

Olivia from Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?FOX's Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? quizzes adults on elementary level school subjects, and while this task may seem like a walk in the park, many contestants have lost the chance to win one million dollars -- or even a fraction thereof -- for failing to answer basic elementary level questions, surprising not only the contestants themselves and viewers, but also Olivia, one of the students featured on the show.

“Sometimes I'm just like, ‘Wow!'” she told the Chicago Sun-Times, before adding that there are times she feels rather sympathetic when a contestant is stumped by a question.  “But other times, I'm like, ‘Well, maybe I wouldn't remember that,' so I do have a little sympathy.

Exclusive Interview: The Fifth Graders from 'Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader'

October 4, 2007

Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? Season 2 Fifth GradersLast week, down at the FOX Fall press junket, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the new crop of 5th graders from FOX's Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.  Since last year's fifth graders have now moved on to sixth grade, FOX needed a new batch of young minds to humiliate grown-ups and serve as a clear example that you get dumber as you get older.  The fifth graders seemed fairly ecstatic to be making the press rounds and were certainly the most enthusiastic interview subjects I talked to during my time in Los Angeles.  The five students are Nathan, Mackenzie, Sierra, Cody and Olivia. 

Below you will find the full mp3 audio of the raucous interview.
