Standard one-person Q&A, but the twist is if the contestant misses a question, they can get saved if a group of five kids who have been asked the same question get the right answer (Gervais will interact with the kids, there will be a different host with the adult player)

I've already watched a few episodes of Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old with Noel Edmonds.  I think I'm all set here. :-P

Ricky Gervais draws a different demographic than Jeff Foxworthy?

(I find Gervais more palatable)

Ricky will still be a big part of the show, though.

A show called "Child Support" sounds like the perfect gig for Maury Povich...
