We were watching a quiz show the other day and one of the contestants was an attractive young lady who was a presenter in real life. She only got one question correct out of several very easy straight forward questions. One of the questions was how many letters in the alphabet which she did not know. I think that most kids aged 6 or younger would have got that correct? Another question asked after she went off the show was about the name of a famous cracked bell in Philadelphia which is the Liberty Bell. The other two contestants had no idea and one of them was a well known face. Luckily it was all for charity which is good.

On previous occasions we have noticed with celebrity quiz shows that the questions are generally a lot easier than when there are ordinary people on the show who are not celebrities. Admittedly occasionally you do get a celebrity that is very good at answering questions correctly even the occasional difficult ones.

I may not been very good a at quizzes, but I think I would do a lot better than some of the well known celebrities who are able to tell us how the country should be governed! 🤣

We watched it and thought what is the qualification for Celebrity Status, and came to the conclusion it is a negative IQ

It would appear that a certain "dumbing down" of the questions for celebs has always been the case
can't prove it of course and wouldn't really want to.

The total lack of knowledge shown by many "celebrities" does frequently astound me, yet these people are paid astronomical sums of money for "entertaining" us. Something wrong somewhere isnt it?
