The game show is coming back for Season 2 with a new host.
January 23, 2025
Fox announced today that The 1% Club has been renewed for a second season. The game show, which first debuted on Prime Video, will be moving exclusively to Fox with Joel McHale coming aboard as its new host.
"I am 1,000,000% excited to be partnering with Fox to host The 1% Club," said McHale. "I absolutely love the show and love the game play to the 10x and guarantee my hair, make up, and wardrobe will look great at least 68% of the time."
"Joel's outstanding comedic timing and hosting charm already make him a standout talent here at Fox, and now - building on The 1% Club's strong first year on the network - we're bringing his unrivaled energy, irreverence and charisma to Season Two," said Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network. "We look forward to expanding on our successful relationship with Joel and continuing our partnership with the incredible production teams at BBC Studios and Magnum."
Based on the hit international format, the show tests the nation's intelligence, based on a scientific survey - not what is learned at school or the ability to memorize facts. The show tests how your brain works through a series of questions that all have a right answer but can also lead to a series of entertaining wrong answers along the way. Whether you're a contestant vying for the cash prize or a viewer playing at home, answer enough questions correctly, and you could earn yourself a place in the 1% Club: an elite group of people who can honestly say they've outwitted 99% of the population.
