Jeff Foxworthy Shifts Back Into '5th' Gear

It's time to put on your thinking caps... or dust off your dunce cap. After a six-year recess, "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" has returned to FOX. Host Jeff Foxworthy is back at the head of the class, but since the original 5th graders have all graduated high school by now, he's recruited a whole new group of grade school kids to help contestants win the big bucks. Foxworthy told us he couldn't be any more excited about class being back in session.

"Are You Smarter Than A 5tth Grader" is airing Tuesday nights at 8/7c on FOX.

John Williams: Instrumental In 'Star Wars' Success

Since the "Star Wars" franchise debuted 38 years ago this month, it's brought us memorable characters, memorable worlds, memorable battles, and memorable music. Is there anyone on the planet who can't hum the "Star Wars" title theme, the Cantina theme, or Darth Vader's "Imperial March"?

 The music for all six "Star Wars" movies was composed by one man: Academy Award winner John Williams. And when "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" opens on December 18, we will once again be hearing Williams' work.

When we spoke with George Lucas, he insisted that the "Star Wars" franchise wouldn't be what it is  today' without the music of John Williams
