Jeff Foxworthy, comedian, game show host and devout Christian, is bringing The American Bible Challenge to the Game Show Network. We told you about it back in March, and now GSN has officially set the premiere date for Thursday, Aug. 23 at 8 pm ET.

Foxworthy, who has already made a home for himself at GSN as the host of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?, will lead contestants in a competition to see who has more knowledge of the bible. Yep! Contestants will also “share their compelling back-stories” and their earnings will go towards “worthy, faith-based organizations.” Foxworthy says of the show: “It will be interesting to find out what people really know, and an opportunity to present the Bible in a fun and entertaining way.” Will you be tuning in?

Horrible. I hope the show presents questions about all the incredibly stupid shit you can find in the Bible. Oh wait, Christians ignore most of the Bible and therefore know nothing about all it’s splendid stupidity.

I’ll probably watch an episode or 2. I’ll watch just about any game show.

If you can’t even get one question correct does that mean, “You might be a heretic”?

This is total religious BS. He doesn’t care about creating “good television” He’s just pushing his agenda. A game show on a Thursday night? Network tv’s strongest night is Thursday. Tell me why he couldn’t get this on a Christian network? Did they not want it?
