Variety is reporting that WWE star John Cena will be the host of a revival of game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" for Nickelodeon.  There is no start date listed for the series, which according to the article is part of a strategy designed to lure children back to the cable network.  The original incarnation of the series aired on FOX in 2007, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.

Cena is currently filming his latest movie Playing with Fire in Vancouver, British Columbia, playing the lead role of a smokejumper, a fire fighter who paracutes into remote areas to battle blazes.    The official premise of the film notes, "A crew of rugged fighters meet their match when attempting to rescue three rambunctious kids."  Also cast in the film are Judy Greer, Brianna Hildebrand, Keegan-Michael Key and John Leguizamo.  The film is scheduled to wrap production on 4/1, which would allow Cena the ability to appear for WWE on 4/7 at Wrestlemania 35.

Thanks to Eric McHugh and everyone else who sent that along.
