“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 2,” said Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network.

McHale already hosts Crime Scene Kitchen for the network and stars in the comedy Animal Control, with Season 3 currently airing on Fox.

“I am 1,000,000% excited to be partnering with Fox to host The 1% Club,” McHale said. “I absolutely love the show and love the gameplay to the 10𝑥 and guarantee my hair, makeup and wardrobe will look great at least 68% of the time.”

The 1% Club is an international format produced by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions and Magnum Media. The game show features 100 contestants competing for the chance to win up to $100,000. Contestants are tested on how their brain works through a series of questions that all have a correct answer but can also lead to a series of wrong answers.

“99% of us are unfortunately not as funny as Joel McHale, which makes him the perfect host for The 1% Club,” Ryan O’Dowd, President of Unscripted at BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions, said. “His unmatched approach to comedy is innately unpredictable and will take audiences on a thrill ride as they watch him in action with our contestants, striving to put their wits to the test.”

The 1% Club is executive produced by O’Dowd and Krystal Whitney for BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions and Dean Nabarro and Andy Auerbach for Magnum Media. Wes Kauble serves as the showrunner. The series is based on a format originally produced for the UK’s ITV.
