ATLANTA --- Comedian Jeff Foxworthy won't be the only Georgian on the season premiere of Fox's Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Georgia schools Superintendent Kathy Cox will appear on the special two-hour episode with supermodel Kathy Ireland.
It is scheduled to air Sept. 5.
Education department spokesman Matt Cardoza said the show's producers asked Ms. Cox to apply.
Mr. Cardoza says her appearance is a good way to promote Georgia's educational system to a national audience.
The episode was filmed earlier this month, but so far Ms. Cox has been silent about how she performed.
The popular game show pits adults against kids on questions about math, science, English and geography.

Perhaps she will also expose the actual capture of Big Foot in north Georgia. Here's an idea. Keep him in a chest freezer. This may set the world's impression of Georgia back another 100 years. Any chance we can get that couple standing in front of the trailer to tell us about the UFO they saw. I may move to Alabama if this keeps up.
:-) 14PUTT Thats good I needed a giggle this morning...
i4putt - no four putt on that one! At what point did the office of state superintendent of schools become a jumping of point for an acting career? Oh wait, that's what they do - pretend to spend our money wisely and improve the quality of education for our children while enjoying the scenic view during their aerial tours of schools.
she should go head to head versus Linda Shrenko
