Jennie Garth will be going from West Beverly High to Are You Smarter Elementary tonight, but first, we have unfinished business with our previous celebrity contestant, as Rick Fox returns to take on the $10,000 question.

As a reminder, helping him out was Olivia, and Rick is playing for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

The bassoon is a member of what musical family?
a) Woodwind
b) Percussion
c) Brass

Rick has a musical family. Sasha plays violin and piano. Rick.. doesn't. "Why am I getting winded?"

Eventually, he locks in "brass". That's... wrong. It was A. Olivia needs to have that one written in order for continue.

Olivia said... A. Woodwind! SAVED!

Now to the milestone. Francesca gets the nod for it.

How many times does the letter "Y" appear in the following word?

The word is "beautiful". Trick question. It doesn't appear at all. Rick isn't fooled. He gets it for $25,000!

Fun fact: Rick and your compiler have something in common... we both went to UNC-Chapel Hill.

4th Grade US Geography $50,000 PEEK COPY  
In what US city do the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River?

It's a free guess. But he decides to PEEK. Francesca wrote... Missouri.

All together now... MISSOURI IS NOT A CITY! Rick locks in a city in Missouri, St. Louis...

Now think about this one... but if you think about the three rivers... and Three Rivers Stadium... where the Pittsburgh Pirates used to play.

FLUNK OUT: $25,000

Next up, an actress from "90210" on the CW... but she actually graduated from East Prairie Elementary in Skokie, IL... Welcome JENNIE GARTH! She says she was a good student; her parents were both teachers (high school).

Helping out there is Jenna.

What US city was once known as New Amsterdam when it was part of a Dutch colony?
