Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin‘s joint intelligence was put to the test when the actor visited his wife on the set of Nation’s Dumbest.
Us can exclusively reveal a first look at the Wednesday, September 9, episode as Alec, 68, makes a special appearance to assist Hilaria — with mixed results.
“Alec is very smart, but we are both artistic people. We are not really academics,” Hilaria, 42, says in a confessional. “So I don’t know if this is going to be good.”
The couple work together on a two-person puzzle that leaves them stumped. Host Jack Whitehall offers Hilaria the chance to “sub him out for another family member,” which she considers.
Alec, for his part, stands by what he brings to the table.
“I passed the CIA test, by the way,” he adds, before Hilaria replies, “I bring you in here, and look, I am going to stay another day.”
While speaking to the camera, Whitehall, 38, jokes about how Nation’s Dumbest could affect Hilaria and Alec’s marriage, saying, “They have had several children. If we are the thing that breaks their marriage, I don’t want that on my conscience.”
Nation’s Dumbest is described as “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.”
Who says true love doesn’t exist on reality TV? While it seems to be a trend that many marriages on reality TV end in divorce, there are still some reality TV couples out there beating the odds. Big Brother‘s Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo met while filming season 18 of Big Brother in 2016. The timing […]
While speaking with Us ahead of the show’s debut season, Hilaria admitted that joining the cast came with its challenges.
“I was a student that had to work really hard [when I was in school]. So I have ADHD and dyslexia and I was very ashamed of this at different times,” she recalled. “I wasn’t the most social person and I would just have to work much harder than the average person. Doing a show like this was a little scary for me, to be honest, because I think that I’ve grown so much. But I definitely had my moments where I’m like, ‘Oh no, all the trauma’s coming back.’”
Nation’s Dumbest airs on Fox Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
