John Cena got a new hosting gig of a popular television show on Nickelodeon.

In comments given to Variety, Nickelodeon chief Brian Robbins explained how the network is trying to attract back the young viewership demographic and one of the moves they as a network are making is hiring John Cena to be the host of the popular game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Produced by Mark Burnett of Survivor, the show features a contestant who attempts to answer ten questions taken from elementary school textbooks, two from each grade level from first to fifth. During the game, contestants who are playing for the $1,000,000 prize can be helped by school kids in answering the questions.

The show was revived for a fourth season in 2015 but no new episodes have been filmed since then.
