The American Bible Challenge 8 p.m., GSN

There are many, many bibles out there. Like, probably more copies than there are of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” So now a bunch of really cool people are going to show off their knowledge of the Good Book, and compete to win big prizes. Of course they will be donating those prizes to charity. Jeff Foxworthy, king of redneck humor, hosts the show. No saint, he.
