The 1% Club returns this Tuesday, June 24, at 8:00 PM ET on FOX, with its unique spin on the game show format. Episode 3 of Season 2, Let’s Goooooo!, introduces a fresh group of contestants, all vying to prove they have the kind of smarts that only 1% of the population possesses.
This week’s lineup includes Tyler, described as a “wig enthusiast,” Divine, and Marcus, the self-appointed “hype man” of the group. One hundred hopefuls will begin the competition, each with the potential to walk away with up to $100,000. Unlike traditional trivia contests, this show tests practical intelligence through a series of questions developed from a scientific survey.
The format of The 1% Club centers on questions that have clear right answers, but also prompt some wonderfully wrong, and often amusing, attempts. Viewers at home can play along using the show’s app. The program continues to gain fans for its smart blend of logic puzzles and general knowledge.
