Show Network) and the creators of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"
are looking for you! GSN is currently traveling across America casting

charity by appearing on THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE, a
new game show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.

knowledge of the Bible.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate your faith, have fun with
your friends, show off your Bible expertise, and potentially make an
extraordinary difference to your favorite charity by winning money on its
behalf.
THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE is a studio-based game show in which contestants
compete based on their knowledge of the Bible. Questions will be designed to
acknowledge and celebrate the Bible’s continuing importance in contemporary
life and culture. The contestants will share their compelling back-stories and
each team will be playing for a worthy charity.
Jeff Foxworthy, currently seen on GSN in his role as host of ARE YOU SMARTER
THAN A 5TH GRADER?, is one of the most respected and
successful comedians in the country. He is the largest-selling comedy recording
artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee and bestselling author of
more than 26 books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well
beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human
nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s. Foxworthy, Bill Engvall
and Larry the Cable Guy recently reunited for “Them Idiots Whirled Tour,” which
was filmed as a special for CMT.
THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE is produced by RelativityREAL for GSN, with RelativityREAL’s
Tom Forman and Embassy Row’s Michael Davies serving as Executive Producers on
the project. Nick Stuart and Maura Dunbar of Odyssey Networks are Consulting
Producers. Odyssey Networks is the country’s largest multi-faith coalition
dedicated to producing and distributing media that creates understanding among
people of different beliefs and perspectives. Jeff Foxworthy also serves as
Producer with J.P. Williams and Jennifer Novak as Executive Producers.
