If you missed Kellie Thursday night, hulu.com offers up the entire episode of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”. This became the highest rated “5th Grader” episode this fall.
“I actually tried to study,” she said, with Kat McPhee, the night before. Donations went to the American Red Cross and organizations that help grandparents who raised grandkics (just like her!) She confessed she is “not smarter than a 5th grader” before her first question.
Her most embarrassing moment in school. She “cut the cheese” in class in second grade and everyone laughed at her. Awww…
She was adorable as always, using her story about a meeting of a French dude saying “bonjour” to help her get one question and her knowledge of the Road Runner(“Beep-beep!”) to get another. She struggled to know whether a piccolo is a woodwind, strings or percussion. Her logic included thinking that piccolo is percussion because they have the same first letter. Oops. Thank goodness she was saved by Olivia. (I”m going to get a swirly after class. That’s where they dip your head in the commode and they flush your head so you get a swirly.”)
Oh, and she thought Europe is a country. “I don’t think France is a country,” she noted. She has no clue what country Budapest is in but fortunately, Nathan knew “Hungary” was a country. “Is that a country? Never heard of it!” she said.
After being asked which of the following, Johns Hopkins, Franklin Pierce or Brigham Young, was a U.S. president, she was stumped. “I feel like an idiot right now,” she said. “Waiting for an answer from you is kind of like being in a checkout line behind an old woman with coupons,” Foxworthy cracked. She picked Pierce because her ears are pierced and her last name starts with P, too. This is what we will call from now on “Pickler logic.” That last one got her to $50,000.
The $100,000 question: “How many canine teeth are in a typical adult human mouth?” She actually got it right (four) but chose to walk away.
And here’s a link to the new Elliott Yamin “One Word” video.. One word for the video gal’s sheer red dress: amazing!
