Twelve celebrities are going to Summer school on Fox this July for a competition show that is unlike anything we have seen on US television.
Nation’s Dumbest, a proven format across multiple international territories, channels celebrities’ inner school spirit as they head back to summer school, facing a mix of brain-teasing tasks, fast-paced physical challenges, and long-buried classroom knowledge. Each week, the ‘smartest’ celebrity graduates, narrowing the field until a high-stakes final exam determines who will be left standing with the distinction no one wants – the title of The Nation’s Dumbest.
Enrolled in this season’s all-star class are television personality Hilaria Baldwin, actress and model Carmen Electra, actor Anthony Michael Hall, actor Jon Heder, musician and actor Chase Hudson, rapper and actor Ice-T, singer-songwriter Elle King, former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, television personality Dr. Drew Pinsky, stunt performer and comedian Steve-O, singer and performer JoJo Siwa, and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
“I can confidently say we have the absolute dumbest television format in the world – and for once, that’s by design, said Ryan O’Dowd, President of Unscripted, BBC Studios. “Nation’s Dumbest celebrates humor, humility, and the universal experience of not always getting it right. With Jack Whitehall leading the chaos and a cast fully in on the joke, it’s a bold, irreverent series packed with big laughs and real surprises.”
Class is in session on July 15th. Be there, or be square.
Believe it or not, but The Breakfast Club is nearing its 40th reunion, I mean anniversary on March 24th. However, we don’t have to wait that long to see the princess, the nerd, the criminal, and the basket case together again. That is because they had their own little reunion at Rhode Island Comic Con this weekend.
Thankfully, Michael Rosenbaum’s brother and sister-in-law wanted a photo with Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy. Therefore, we got this photo from the Smallville star.
I know that John Hughes is no longer with us. But I really wish someone would give us a sequel to this movie. Let’s see how they turned out. We’ve all wondered that, so let’s see how they would interact at their high school reunion.
Where is the jock? Probably too busy coaching youth hockey.
Anthony Michael Hall has been acting since he was a kid. And now he is taking on his greatest role ever. On June 1st, he and his wife, Lucia Hall, welcomed their first child, a big baby boy who came into the world weighing 9 lbs., 7 oz.
The actor, 55, told People, “We have a big boy. In between his breastfeeding, I get to give him his bottles, and I can tell you, this kid has some appetite. He was born 9 lbs, 7 oz. at Cedars Sinai, and we were there for four days. And fortunately, when we came back home the next day, he just connected with mom and she’s been feeding him and taking care of him, as have I, ever since.”
The couple met on the film War Machine in 2017, got engaged in 2019, and tied the knot a year later.
Congrats to the new parents. Hopefully, their son will grow up and know not to share a girl’s underwear in the high school bathroom. Because if he does, he will have to spend his Saturdays in detention with The Breakfast Club!
Ever since the ’80s, we have known Anthony Michael Hall as Anthony Michael Hall. It turns out his name is not Anthony Michael Hall.
I have never heard that his name was anything but Anthony Michael Hall. Have you?
Well, yesterday, when Anthony Michael Hall was on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he revealed to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest that his birth name is Michael Anthony Hall.
So, why did he switch up his first and middle names? Back when he was a kid, actors in SAG were not allowed to have the same name as someone else in the union. Therefore, his parents decided to go with Anthony Michael Hall. And the rest is Hollywood history.
I can’t believe he was able to go over 40 years without us knowing any differently. Or am I the only one who didn’t know this?

Before Anthony Michael Hall was part of the Griswold family in Vacation, he was an orphan in Six Pack. How cute was the 13 year old in that 1982 movie?
