...hosting this show, which allows you to work with kids, your dream job in some ways? Yeah, it was. When Mark Burnett called me about the show, I told him, "Whether I do it or not, just in its simplicity this is a wonderful idea." Because every adult thinks, "Well, yeah, I can do that." You find out pretty quickly that you can't. It's not just a game of chance. It rewards knowledge and it makes kids look good. Part of the appeal of it for me - and I see it in fan mail - is all these letters...
Until you started working on this show, you were best known for the redneck part of your comedy routine. Would you ever give that up?

Comments made last month by India's outgoing navy chief that the country could not hope to match China's hard power capabilities set off a bout of national hand-wringing.

...Still, China's plans to build aircraft carriers and boost its own submarine fleet far outstrip that of New Delhi. India has expanded defense contacts and exchanges with a host of strategic Indian Ocean countries and archipelago nations such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar and the Maldives as well as engaged in naval exercises with other East Asian and Southeast Asian nations that are wary of China's growing stature, such as Japan and Vietnam. But China also maintains solid relationships with many of these countries - ties that, in most cases, bind far tighter and offer much more than what poorer...
