SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER
P.O. BOX 503
149 S. Barrington Ave.
Los Angeles CA 90049-3310 You Must Be: - 18 or older
- A legal resident of the United States.
- Not running for, or planning to run for, political office. (Sorry, McCain and Obama.)
Who Pays Travel Expenses? - The Bad News: If selected for an interview, you must be willing to travel to Los Angeles on your own dime. The show won't pay travel expenses for interviews.
- The Good News: If selected to appear on the show, the producers will pay your economy airfare, lodging, and even give you a food allowance. Whooopee!!!!
Sample Questions from the 5th Grader Application - My friends would describe me as:
- Even though it’s not true, people always assume about me:
- How competitive are you?
- What’s the funniest fact about yourself we don’t know?
- Do you have any surprising talents/tricks?
- How would you rate your intelligence on a scale of 1 to 10
- What is the highest level of school you have completed?
- Did you take the SATs in high school? If so, what were your scores?
- As a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
- What is your greatest accomplishment in life so far?
- What would you do with $25,000?
- What would you do with a Million dollars?
- Of these three, which one would you spend the money on, and explain why: car, boat, or vacation.
- Have you ever been detained for, arrested for or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense?
- And more...
More information, along with a bunch of legalese, is contained on the official application. For example, if selected for a 5th Grader interview, you'll have to provide additional information and possibly be subjected to a background check. This is good news if you have nothing to hide, and bad news if you've just knocked off a liquor store. In any event, good luck!
