Laila Ali is the host of The N's "Student Body." The N’s "Student Body,” from Reveille, follows a group of teens as they attempt to change their own lives - from diet and exercise to volunteering and academics – as well as the lives of their friends and families. Taped in Decatur, Illinois, the show pits 12 kids from two rival high schools against each other. The teams are divided into two groups of six, one group representing one school. From there, the kids compete in challenges such as building a park or fixing up their high school. Throughout each show, teens will be eliminated, until there is a winning teen. The Winning school will receive $25,000, and the winning teen will also receive $25,000 to put toward their college education. While acting as the host of the show, Laila will also serve as a mentor to the teens, helping them along with each challenge, providing encouragement and motivation. This program presented by The N premiered July 11, 2008.
