Fun Trivia
This show is focused on six adolescents competing in a school spelling bee that is run by three quirky adults. Part of the fun for audiences is the inclusion of four members of the audience to come on stage and participate in the actual spelling bee. The official pronouncer for the competition provides ridiculous, often improvised, use-in-a-sentence when asked to do so. Some shows, with an age-restricted audience, are billed as Parent-Teacher Conferences, and include mature content in the improvisation.
