Which TV Personality Has The Highest IQ?

While it is believed that watching TV can make you "dumb", as the New York Times puts it, that's no reason to berate all TV personalities or assume they are not smart.

Take Danica McKellar, for example. Those of you who were teenagers in the late '80s and early '90s probably remember the series "The Wonder Years," which ran from 1988 to 1993 and received numerous awards. Did you know that one of the lead actresses was also a mathematician? That's right. Danica McKellar, who has an IQ of 154, graduated summa cum laude in Mathematics in 1998 and co-wrote several math research papers.

Another smart mind on TV is the successful British entrepreneur Simon Ambrose, who won "The Apprentice." With an IQ of 174, he is one of the brightest minds in business. Simon studied economics at Cambridge University and is a member of Mensa, the elite club for people with a high IQ.

Among the smartest people on TV, we also have Carol Vorderman, known for the game show "Countdown." She hosted over 4,000 episodes from 1982 to 2008, becoming a household name. With an IQ of 154, Carol Vorderman's sharp intellect and charming presence made her a beloved TV star.
