Our Little Genius

Our Little Genius was a game show that was set to premiere on Fox on January 13, 2010.

Broadcast
FOX

Creator
Mark Burnett

Host
Kevin Pollak

Gameplay
Child contestants would answer questions to win money for their families. Their parents could look to experts for help.

Cancellation
The series was cancelled before the series was even able to premiere because Mark Burnett, creator of this show, was concerned that the show’s integrity was breached. The Los Angeles Times reported that some contestants knew what questions were to be asked (though not the answers) rather than the topics to be covered.

FCC Investigation
The Federal Communications Commission is investigating. If the show is found to have been rigged, it would be the first such case since the quiz show scandals of the 1950s.
