Country Music Stars on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader!

Hey everybody!

Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader begins September 21 in syndication - check your local listings! CMT (Country Music Television), is also picking up the show, and will air it 5 day a week at 8 p.m. I just found out that the first week of shows on CMT is a theme week. The theme is country music stars! I had a great time filming these shows. Here are the dates:

Monday, 9/21 Big Kenny plays the game for the benefit of his charity called Love Everybody. Big Kenny was so amazing! He gave all of the kids gifts after the show. He gave us Love Everybody frisbee's, patches,t-shirts, and even computer flash drives! Big Kenny was really, really nice, and I loved working with him! The picture with this post is me with Big Kenny.

Tuesday, 9/22 Heidi Newfield is playing to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Heidi Newfield was really sweet and VERY smart.

Wednesday, 9/23 Bucky Covington, from American Idol season 5, plays for the Arthritis Foundation. Bucky was really amazing and was so fun to work with. The audience was really excited, and he had a lot of loyal fans at the taping!

Thursday, 9/24 Jack Ingram donates to Tom's Shoes, which donates shoes to less fortunate children. Jack Ingram was also just in the news, when he broke the Guiness World record for most interviews given in 24 hours. Jack is great on the show, and he played the game really well!

Friday, 9/25 Emily West plays for the Alzheimer Foundation of America. She is an amazing person an works really hard for her charity.

Hope you all tune in to see my first week of shows. After spending the whole summer filming episodes, it's so exciting that they are finally going to be on T.V.!
