Bethany Hamilton competes for $1M on TV game show
| |||
Bethany Hamilton, the Kaua'i professional surfer who lost her left arm in a shark attack six years ago, will be a contestant on the Fox television show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" at 7 p.m. tomorrow on KHON.
Hamilton's opponent in the battle for a $1 million prize is coma survivor Jill Finley.
The show, which tests adult contestants' knowledge of a variety of subjects at the elementary school level, features help from real fifth-graders. Comic Jeff Foxworthy hosts.
Friday's episode was taped earlier this year. After it airs, it will be available at www.fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=smarter.
Hamilton, 19, is in her second year competing in the Association of Surfing Professionals World Qualifying Series and is currently ranked 19th among women at that level of competition.
