Through some kind of divine, transcendent power, Jeff Foxworthy hasn’t evolved from redneck joke teller to game show host so much as he’s been called upon by someone greater than himself to oversee series like Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? It’s as if his career was predestined. Now Jeff Fox-We’re-Not-Worthy, as his students call him, can add another show to his flock: Game Show Network’s The American Bible Challenge.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
Foxworthy plays host to two teams as they use their knowledge of Bible trivia to win money for a charity or ministry. As Foxworthy says in the promo, “It’s just cool seeing people come and, within the course of an hour, win money to change somebody else’s life.” Bible Challenge premieres August 23 at 8 p.m. (Via)
Also, big-ass Bibles:
Rumor has it that Bill Engvall, ever the lovable contrarian, is working on a game show of his own with a team of top-secret atheists. Its working title: My God Isn’t Better Than Your God Because There’s No Such Thing As God, IDIOT. But that might change; they don’t really believe in it.

This will be followed by Larry The Cable Guy’s new show Torah the Explorer.
STEVE HOLT!
So, there’s this book that is the greatest source of people’s faith and belief in America. People literally have killed over it. It will forever divide the country and people’s lives as an entirety…..how do we make SOME MONEY OFF IT?
Is it too much to hope that “Inconsistencies” is a topic?
Shouldn’t this be called Do You Have More Critical Thinking Skills Than A Fifth Grader?
Bill Maher is gonna host a Atheist game show where the answer to every thing is “Ummmm…science?” and then Maher is gonna make a douchey face to the audience and everyone will laugh. The working title is “Atheist Assholes Question Answer Time”
+1 other acceptable answers are Sagan and Neil DeGrassi Tyson
Whoa, I just realized if Dr. Phil lost 70 pounds an put on a wig, he’d look just like Jeff Foxworthy…
Is that Ufford on the right in the vest?
I’m sorry, “hugged them” is NOT what Lot did to his two daughters. We were actually looking for “offered them up to be raped by an unruly mob.”
There’s an American Bible now?
I bet Jesus kicks some serious anus in this version. F*** pacifism. USA! USA! USA!
The American Bible has Jesus calling the leper a drain on society and depriving him of health care.
Has anyone else noticed just how unhappy the entire audience seems to be?
see people come and win money? what bible is HE using?
Why is the angry guy with the skinny tie saying “I’m the Batman”?
They should have got Ned Flanders to do the show
-The bridal feast of Bethchedruharrezeb?
also all contestants should get nachos, Flanders style lol
Kevin The Robot for the win!
I’ve long held the theory that if we ever find ourselves in some Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic hellscape, it won’t be because of aliens, a gas shortage, or pandemic – it will be because of our own overwhelming stupidity. With each passing day, as a culture, we seem to become less and less rational. The ‘non-critical thinking’ people are definitely winning. The Texas GOP including a fight to combat critical thinking in their party platform is part of a larger trend; there isn’t really any large scale, culture wide effort to combat this trend. It’s only a matter of time before the Mad Max/Idiocracy Era.
I’m going to try and be gracious about this – so when we meet up on the road, scavenging for gas and/or food – I won’t even say “I told you so!”.
No clip of the Norm Macdonald/ bible game show skit on SNL? For shame.
I watched The American Bible Challenge months ago when it was called The Republican Presidential Primary Debate.
Hi Everyone,

Ok, so now they’ve got game shows testing your knowledge on Mother Goose tales. Basically the bible is one big, old fat book, of some of the most pathetic fiction ever written! Garbage! As Penn Jillette once said, the only good use for the bible is if you run out of toilet paper. Jeff Foxworthy not only looks like a retard, he sounds like one, and has the intelligence of an overstretched guitar string! He’s nothing but a shitty redneck clown who appeals to the underclass, uneducated cretins who scoop their brains amongst the turds in their litter boxes with every program they watch with that dicktard. To anyone with brains the bible is 100% bullshit. And to the poster that made the derogatory comment about Bill Maher, well FUCK YOU! Bill Maher is an extremely intelligent, articulate and rational man. He’s damn comical and knows MUCH more than you’ll ever enter into your bible believing micro minds. If there were an atheist based game show it would be one of immense intelligence. Perhaps a lot like Jeopardy, but much more science oriented.
