Yesterday my friend took me to a taping of Smarter than a fifth grader. We drove down to L.A. When we got there, we got to sit on the balcony above the fifth graders, so we got to cheat whenever we didn't know the question. We saw two different people come and audition, plus, we got to see a bunch of other stuff that was behind the scenes. At the beginning, I got to see Jeff Foxworthy and the kids doing the catwalk. There were a few other things fun things, like there was a funny guy that you don't see on T.V. We heard a few funny stories from them, and even heard them singing! On T.V., you hear noises when they press the button, or you hear the music playing. In the live show, all you hear is a bang! The director wasn't as funny, he was all serious. We had to sit the a bunch of safety shots, which is where they re-do a scene in case they had a bad camera angle. Since we had to wait, we got lots of free candy! It was really fun, even though I had to dress up nicely.
