How to Watch — 5th Grader

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?: How to Watch

This U.S. guide separates the Jeff Foxworthy edition of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?, John Cena's Nickelodeon revival and the Prime Video spinoff Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?.

The Jeff Foxworthy Version

Jeff Foxworthy's version is available on Philo's free, ad-supported Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? channel. Check its guide for upcoming episodes.

The Nickelodeon Revival with John Cena

John Cena hosts the 2019 Nickelodeon revival. Paramount+ lists its first season for streaming with a subscription.

Streaming Platforms and Current Availability

• Paramount+: The 2019 Nickelodeon season hosted by John Cena, with a subscription.
• Prime Video: Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, the 2024 spinoff hosted by Travis Kelce, is included with Prime.

What to Expect When You Watch

Both versions follow the same format: a contestant answers progressively harder questions pulled from elementary school subjects with help from real fifth graders who sit at desks on stage. The charm lies in the kids' personalities, their sometimes hilarious misunderstandings, and the genuine tension as adult contestants struggle with material that should be "easy." The 2019 Nickelodeon episodes run about 22 minutes. The show is educational, entertaining, and endlessly rewatchable because the human reactions are what make every episode unique.

Tips for Finding Specific Episodes

If you're looking for particular episodes—maybe a famous moment you saw on social media or a specific celebrity appearance—IMDb's episode guide lists air dates and networks for both versions, making it easier to search by date or guest. Fan communities on Reddit and Facebook regularly discuss which seasons hold up best and where to find hard-to-locate episodes. Many fans argue the original Foxworthy episodes feel more authentic, while Cena's version offers higher production values and broader humor. Either way, once you start watching, you'll find yourself shouting answers at the screen and wondering how you forgot fourth-grade geography.
