Nation’s Dumbest

Matt Roush says...

Billed as the game show no one wants to win, this happily mindless diversion gathers a dozen dupes, ranging from insipid ingenue (Carmen Electra) to a former presidential candidate (Andrew Yang) in a mock classroom presided over by comedian/actor Jack Whitehall. (“What on earth possessed you?” he queries Ice-T, who doesn’t really have a good answer.) The contestants undergo logic tests, pop quizzes, physical challenges, and other indignities, with only the top scorer in a “Final Exam” able to graduate and leave the rest of the dunces behind. An early question about Darwinism seems especially appropriate given the circumstances.
