00:05Welcome to the 1% Club, where logic beats knowledge,
00:09and only 1% of the population can answer the final question.
00:15$100,000 is up for grabs,
00:18and trying to win it all are these 100 contestants.
00:22I'm Joel McHale, and it's time to play the 1% Club.
00:31All right, this game moves fast, but not so fast.
00:34We can't take three seconds to appreciate how shiny this floor is.
00:41Okay, that's enough.
00:43Let's play the game, shall we?
00:46We begin with our easiest question of the game.
00:49If this were a ski resort, this would be the bunny slope,
00:52and you would be insanely underdressed for skiing.
00:5690% of Americans we polled got this right,
00:59which is why we decided to be clever
01:01and call it the 90% question.
01:06One of these kids snuck a cookie out of this cookie jar after art class.
01:11The culprit left a handprint right on the jar.
01:13Who snuck a cookie?
01:15Your time starts now.
01:25And just in case that's lead-based paint,
01:28what's the number for poison control?
01:41That's time!
01:43Put away your sweaty tablets, everybody.
01:46Let's see how many of you got the question right,
01:48and how many of you are immediately out of the game.
01:52Blue light!
01:53Do it!
02:04We just lost two of you on that question.
02:08I can explain, I can explain, I can explain.
02:12I think we know who lost it.
02:14We have 98 of you left.
02:16Here's the answer.
02:19C. Sarah left a print from her right hand
02:22when she snuck a cookie.
02:25Let's talk to somebody who got it wrong.
02:27Hunter?
02:28Yeah?
02:28What happened?
02:29I thought it was Carla,
02:31because she ain't got no paint on her hands.
02:33My family's gonna think I'm stupid.
02:35Oh, my God.
02:37No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:39All of America will think you're stupid.
02:41Don't, don't just think you're family, Hunter.
02:44I don't want to talk about it.
02:47Hunter, welcome to the show.
02:49And goodbye from the show.
02:52Let's talk to John now.
02:54What's up?
02:55So what's going on, man?
02:56To be honest, I answered too quickly,
02:58and I looked at it, and I was like,
03:00Bud has paint on both his hands,
03:02and there's a middle finger missing.
03:04You thought one of the kids lost a finger
03:07on the way to the cookie jar?
03:09That would have made me look a little better, maybe.
03:11You can see the paint at the top of the middle finger.
03:14Yeah, like I said, I answered a little quickly.
03:17A little prematurely.
03:19John, what do you do for a living?
03:20I am a fitness instructor.
03:22And that will continue after this.
03:23Yeah, it will.
03:24Yes.
03:24All right, guys, let's talk to somebody
03:26who got it right, Chris S.
03:29What's up, Joe?
03:29What's going on, man?
03:31Chris, how long did it take you to figure out?
03:33A couple seconds, you know?
03:34I saw the missing paint on the finger,
03:36and I knew that had to be the right answer.
03:38Okay, yeah.
03:39Chris, what do you do with your free time?
03:40I like to go to the gym, play video games,
03:42but my friends, they love the fact
03:44that I could do a Barack Obama impersonation.
03:48Oh, let's hear it.
03:49Joel, I'm glad to meet you today.
03:53So, Michelle, she told me to come on the show,
03:54and here I am, winning $100,000.
03:57That's pretty...
04:00Chris, that's pretty good.
04:01If we come to you every time just to be Obama there,
04:04would that be all right?
04:05Sounds like a plan.
04:06Great.
04:07All right.
04:08Thank you, Chris.
04:09All right, to start the game,
04:11everyone has been given a $1,000 stake.
04:13If you get a question wrong, you're out of the game,
04:15and your $1,000 goes into the prize pot.
04:20$2,000!
04:21It's just starting, guys.
04:23You guys like shiny graphics of numbers?
04:26Yes!
04:26Oh, good.
04:27Well, buckle up.
04:29Here's our 80% question.
04:33What word is created by grouping the bold letters in order,
04:37then grouping the italic letters in order,
04:40then putting those two resulting words together?
04:43Your time starts now.
04:51Unscrambled, this is also my favorite model of IKEA bookshelf.
05:09That is time, everybody.
05:12Blue light, please reveal who is incorrect and crestfallen.
05:29We didn't lose anyone on that question,
05:31which means we still got 98 of you left.
05:34Okay, here we go.
05:36Let's see the answer.
05:37C.
05:38If you group the bold letters in order,
05:40you get leader,
05:41and if you group the italic letters together,
05:43you get ally.
05:44Put leader and ally together,
05:46and you get literally.
05:48All right, well, I can't pick on anyone
05:50other than John and Hunter,
05:51so let's talk to somebody who got it right.
05:53Alan!
05:54Hey, Joel.
05:54Hey, Alan.
05:55How long did that take you to figure out?
05:57I answered it in my head
05:59while you were reading the question,
06:00and then I triple-checked,
06:02and then I felt confident.
06:03Did you think it was too easy?
06:05Yeah, let's bring some challenging questions.
06:08Uh-uh.
06:08No, uh-uh.
06:10I like this Alan guy.
06:12Okay.
06:12Do you get nervous for games like this?
06:14No, uh, you've-you've roasted me before
06:16on national TV on the soup
06:18when I was on the Jerry Springer show
06:20Threesome Disasters.
06:22Oh, God.
06:23No.
06:25How did you get on Jerry Springer?
06:27I made up a story with my roommates in college,
06:30and we thought it would be a fun thing to do,
06:31and it didn't really make my parents proud,
06:33but, uh...
06:34Your parents were like,
06:35I can't-we did it.
06:36He got into college, finally.
06:37And then they were like,
06:38I can't believe he screwed up that threesome so badly.
06:41He screwed it up so badly, he got on TV.
06:44Okay.
06:45All right, well, Alan,
06:46it's great to see you again after all this time.
06:48All right.
06:49You want to see how big that prize pot is?
06:50Woo!
06:51I mean, I think we know.
06:52Prize pot?
06:53$2,000 still there
06:55because we didn't lose anybody.
06:57Next, a question that stumped
06:59three out of every ten Americans.
07:01Here is the 70% question.
07:06When put together,
07:08which pair of pieces
07:09will look exactly like this kite?
07:11Your time starts now.
07:18The good news is,
07:19if you get this question wrong,
07:21then you're eliminated
07:21and the pressure is finally off.
07:38That's time.
07:39Blue light,
07:40tell us who got it wrong.
07:56What's happening?
07:58What's going on?
07:59I think the blue light's
08:01just messing with us right now, right?
08:03Because it says here,
08:04we just lost 18 of you
08:06on that question,
08:07which means we've got 80 of you left.
08:10I had such high hopes for you guys.
08:14Let's see the answer.
08:16A.
08:16On choice A,
08:18if you rotate the left
08:19and right images
08:20and put them together,
08:22they will look like the kites.
08:24Let's go talk to Barack Obama.
08:27Mr. President, what happened?
08:29Well, Joe, I saw B
08:31and I thought I could turn it around
08:33and, you know,
08:33Hunter must be rubbing off on me.
08:35That's what it must be.
08:37It's good, Lord.
08:38Pretty good.
08:38I'm going to hear it from Michelle
08:39when I get home.
08:40Very good.
08:41Let's talk to another person
08:42that missed it, Jennifer.
08:44Joe, I don't know what happened.
08:47I do know what happened.
08:49I, uh, yeah.
08:49You got the answer wrong.
08:51I, uh, I had the right answer
08:53and then I second-guessed myself.
08:55Are you here with anyone tonight, Jennifer?
08:56I am.
08:57I'm here with one of my greatest friends
08:59of 17 years, Ryan.
09:01Ryan!
09:02He's sitting over there.
09:02You guys have been friends for 17 years?
09:04Yeah.
09:05Where'd you meet?
09:05She is my ex-girlfriend's twin sister.
09:08Oh!
09:11Okay.
09:12I didn't expect that.
09:13Uh, identical twin?
09:16Identical, yep.
09:17Okay.
09:17Um, what do you do?
09:19I'm a quantum physicist.
09:20Good God.
09:22Jeez.
09:23Aren't you married to this guy?
09:25Well, you know, girl code.
09:27Oh.
09:29Nope.
09:32All right.
09:33Let's check in with our old college buddy,
09:35the prize pot.
09:36Who has gotten a little bit bigger since school?
09:41Just like that, we are at $20,000.
09:44See how it works, folks?
09:45Some people's sorrow is your joy.
09:47All right.
09:4860% of Americans we pulled got this right.
09:51It is our 60% question.
09:56How many squares of this grid contain a purple flower on a green background?
10:02Your time starts now.
10:08Uh, this was hanging on the back wall of every head shop when I was in college.
10:28That is time.
10:30Let's see who got that question wrong.
10:44We just lost two of you on that question, which means we have 78 of you left.
10:51Here's the answer.
10:53One.
10:54There is one purple flower on the green background.
10:57There was two people that didn't get it, so let's talk to them.
11:02Michelle, you've got a flower in your hair.
11:04Yeah.
11:05What do you do for a living?
11:07I'm a cat trainer, but I also train my husband, but he doesn't really realize it.
11:12All right.
11:13So you married a cat?
11:15No, cats are actually easier than he is.
11:19Wait, you can actually get cats to sit?
11:23One of my cats sits on command.
11:25The other one does a high five.
11:27Wow.
11:28And jump through a hoop.
11:29And can your husband do all that, too?
11:32No.
11:33I kind of use the same positive reinforcement training for him, but when he does something
11:39right, then he gets a different reward than my cats.
11:45He gets the wet food?
11:48Yes.
11:52Thank you, Michelle, for being here.
11:54All right.
11:55Our prize pot now contains $22,000.
12:02And these contestants are chomping at the bid for a chance at the $100,000 jackpot.
12:07Either that, or they've had too much caffeine.
12:10The excitement continues after this.
12:24Hello, and welcome back to the 1% Club.
12:26We've played through four questions so far, and for all of you that have survived up to
12:30this point, I've got great news for you.
12:32We're going to give you a lifeline.
12:34For any of the next 10 questions, you can use the $1,000 we gave you to pay for a
12:40pass
12:40and move on to the next question.
12:42You can only do this once, and your $1,000 will go straight into the prize pot, so use
12:48your pass wisely.
12:49Let's continue with the game, shall we?
12:52All right.
12:53Only half of the Americans we pulled answered this next question right, and I like those odds.
12:59Then again, I'm not you guys.
13:01Here is your 50% question.
13:07Which of the symbols below comes next in this sequence?
13:11Your time starts now.
13:19And will this be the combination of symbols that opens the Stargate in my backyard?
13:24Stargate, available now wherever VHS is sold.
13:37Time, everybody.
13:38Let's see who answered correctly and who screwed it up.
13:42Blue light?
13:56Oh, we just lost 12 on that question, which means we have 66 of you left.
14:03And a new 1% club record.
14:0642 of you used your pass.
14:08What?
14:10All right, let's see the answer.
14:13C, the symbols are the rotated numbers 1 through 5.
14:17So the one that comes next is 6.
14:2012 of you got eliminated, so let's talk to the losers first.
14:25Alan.
14:26I wanted harder questions, and you delivered.
14:31Well, you're welcome.
14:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:33You got what you asked for, right?
14:35All right.
14:36Guys, we used 42 passes in that last question.
14:39We're going to talk to one.
14:40Let's talk to Scott C.
14:43Hey, Scott.
14:44Hi.
14:44So how's the Elton John impersonation going?
14:49What do you do, Scott?
14:50I'm a training manager for point-of-sale systems for restaurants.
14:54What do you do for fun when you're not working?
14:56Well, I like yoga, especially hot naked yoga.
15:03Would you be interested in joining one of the classes?
15:08Uh, all right.
15:11Cool!
15:12Sure, that sounds fine.
15:14Yes!
15:15Maybe we get Alan to come with us?
15:19I'm in.
15:20Sure, why not?
15:21See if we can right the wrong of that Jerry's Bringer shirt.
15:25All right, you are moving on to the next question because you used your pass.
15:29I used my pass.
15:29Okay.
15:30Our prize pot is now at...
15:34Whoa!
15:36$76,000.
15:38All right.
15:39It's time for our 45% question.
15:44If you interlock your ten fingers with your left hand on the bottom, which finger is sixth?
15:50Starting with your lowest finger.
15:52Your time starts now.
16:00And with your fingers interlocked, how much faster can you milk the cow?
16:18And your time is up.
16:21Here we go.
16:21Let's see who answered incorrectly.
16:38We just lost seven of you on that question, which means we have 59 of you left and five of
16:44you used your pass.
16:46All right, let's see it.
16:48B, counting from the bottom, the sixth finger is your right middle finger.
16:55Let's talk to somebody who got it right, Erica.
16:57Hi, Joel.
16:58Hi, Erica.
16:59Nicely done.
17:01So, Erica, what do you do for work?
17:02So, currently, I'm a support engineer and dental specialist.
17:06Okay.
17:06But my career actually started as a Hooters girl.
17:10So, I'm here to kind of, you know, show that just because at some point you looked good in spandex
17:14serving wings, it doesn't mean that you can't get an engineering degree.
17:17Nicely done.
17:20All right, thank you, Erica.
17:21And with that infusion of money from the defeated and disappointed, I'd give you our new prize pot.
17:32$81,000.
17:33That's the kind of jackpot you can spread out on the bed in Vegas and just roll around on.
17:39Not that I've ever done that before, guys.
17:41And now a question only 40% of Americans answered right.
17:46Here is the 40% question.
17:51If you hopped up this hopscotch, landing on only the numbers in red and green spaces, then turned around and
17:59hopped back down, landing on only the odd numbers,
18:02in which direction would the numbers add up to a higher total?
18:07Your time starts now.
18:15And how long until the cops are called because you're doing this at an elementary school?
18:33That's time, everybody. Let's see who answered correctly and who did not.
18:38Blue light.
18:38Blue light.
18:52Good lord.
18:55Oh no!
18:5731!
18:59Wait, is that everybody?
19:01Did we just lose everyone on the show?
19:04What just happened?
19:04Oh, gosh!
19:05We lost 31 of you on that question.
19:08Wow.
19:08Which means we have 28 of you left,
19:11and six of you used your passes.
19:14Let's see the answer.
19:15C, both equal.
19:17Going up, you'd hop on 1 plus 3 plus 4 plus 7 plus 10 equals 25.
19:24On the way back, you'd hop on 9 plus 7 plus 5 plus 3 plus 1 equals 25.
19:3131 of you went out.
19:33Let's talk to each and every one of you, shall we?
19:37Scott C.
19:40Scott?
19:42What happened?
19:43I didn't count right.
19:44You seemed dejected, Scott.
19:46What's the one thing that will probably cheer you up?
19:50Hot naked yoga!
19:51All right!
19:52Hey!
19:54Let's talk to somebody else who got it wrong.
19:56Michael, what happened?
19:57I counted it right going up and back.
20:00I completely ignored the instructions and just did my own thing.
20:02What do you do for work, Michael?
20:04I play lots of monsters and aliens and zombies on TV and movies.
20:09What have we seen you on?
20:11I did five seasons of The Walking Dead.
20:13If you saw any people getting eaten and stuff, a lot of those were probably me.
20:17Oh.
20:18Can we see your best zombie impression?
20:20Yeah.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Absolutely.
20:25All right.
20:25Here we go.
20:26Oh, yeah.
20:26He's using the stairs.
20:27No.
20:28Oh.
20:29Yeah.
20:30This is terrifying.
20:33I'm getting out of here.
20:34I'll see you later.
20:36Help.
20:41Michael.
20:45Michael, everybody.
20:48Good job, Michael.
20:50It was hard to say goodbye to those contestants, but let's focus on the positives, like their
20:55money, which has increased the prize pot.
20:58Here we go.
20:58What is it now?
21:02$93,000.
21:04Next up, a question so difficult, it demanded its own separate dressing room with scented
21:09candles and an espresso machine.
21:11Here is the 35% question.
21:14Here we go.
21:17These knights each carry a flag bearing their family name and the territory they rule over.
21:23However, one is an imposter.
21:25Which knight doesn't belong?
21:27Your time starts now.
21:36This reminds me, you guys, do not wager on the jousts at medieval times.
21:42Totally rigged.
21:53Time, everyone!
21:54Let's see who got it right and who got it miserably wrong.
22:09Zero!
22:11We didn't lose any of you on that question, which means we still have 28 of you left and
22:16no one used their pass.
22:18Whoo!
22:20Whoo!
22:20Wanna see the answer?
22:21You all knew it.
22:22Here we go.
22:24D.
22:24Three of the names contain the direction of that knight's territory.
22:28North, up, east, right, south, down.
22:31However, Bennett does not contain a direction.
22:35All right, let's look at the prize pot, but we know what it is because nobody missed that
22:39question.
22:40Prize pot?
22:41Still $93,000.
22:44There are 28 contestants remaining.
22:47Do they have what it takes to make it all the way to the 1% question for a chance
22:51at the
22:52prize pot?
22:52I think they do, but I've been told numerous times it isn't up to me.
22:57More 1% Club right after this.
23:07All right.
23:09Welcome back to the 1% Club.
23:11I'm Joel McHale.
23:12The game you love with the host you tolerate.
23:15Let's keep playing.
23:16We have 28 of you left and seven of you still have your passes.
23:21So you seven can either keep going and hope to make it to the 1% question and win up
23:27to
23:27$100,000, or you can take a guaranteed $1,000 right now and leave the show.
23:34Please make your decision now.
23:42Nobody's leaving.
23:4428 contestants still in the game vying for up to $100,000.
23:49You have six questions left to use your pass.
23:53Now we are moving on to a question that stumps seven out of every 10 Americans we pulled.
23:58If that makes you nervous, just remember that this show is being recorded and broadcast nationwide.
24:03Here is your 30% question.
24:09Which of the four tiles to the right can be rotated and placed in the middle of this pattern
24:15so its edges all match the surrounding colors?
24:18Your time starts now.
24:26All I know is I'm never finishing this damn quilt.
24:44That is time.
24:45All right.
24:46Blue light.
24:47Let's see who got eliminated.
25:02We just lost four of you on that question.
25:06Which means, guys, we have 24 of you left and no passes were used.
25:11All right.
25:12Here's the answer.
25:14Tile B.
25:15Tile B rotated 180 degrees fills the pattern.
25:19Let's talk to somebody who got it right.
25:21Elysian.
25:22Oh, I'm here.
25:23Elysian, how did it go for you?
25:25My hands are sweating.
25:27My upper lip is sweating, but I got it right.
25:29You did.
25:30Elysian, what do you do for fun?
25:32I make custom headboards.
25:35Yeah.
25:36So people hire you to make just a unique headboard?
25:41Now, they don't hire me.
25:42I just do this for myself.
25:44How many headboards have you made for yourself?
25:47I try and do like two a year.
25:49How many beds do you have?
25:50Only one.
25:51Only one.
25:52But when they break or something or...
25:54How many headboards have you broken?
25:57A lot.
25:59Look.
26:02Could it be the construction quality?
26:06It might.
26:07It might.
26:08All right, Elysian.
26:09You've gotten pretty far in this game.
26:11Doing pretty well.
26:12All right, you guys want to see the prize pot?
26:13Yeah!
26:14So do I.
26:16Still $93,000.
26:18It hasn't changed because the four people that went out
26:21had already used their pass.
26:23This next question is really hard,
26:25unlike Elysian's headboards.
26:28It's your 25% question.
26:31Here it is.
26:34In what year would a person born in 1990
26:37turn the age that is the sum of the digits
26:40in the number 1990.
26:42Your time starts now.
26:51Ah, this one's easy for me,
26:53since I was born in 1990.
26:56Why are you laughing at that?
26:58I'm 35 years old.
27:00Yeah, yeah.
27:08Time's up, everybody.
27:10Let's see who got it right,
27:11and let's see who got it not right.
27:26We just lost three of you on that question,
27:29which means we've got 21 of you left.
27:33No passes used.
27:35Here's the answer.
27:362009.
27:381 plus 9 plus 9 plus 0 equals 19.
27:42A person born in 1990
27:44would have had their 19th birthday in 2009.
27:48Let's talk to somebody who did not know this.
27:52Elysian.
27:53Oh, my God!
27:54We just met you.
27:57Boo!
27:57Elysian, uh...
27:58I don't even...
27:59Ah!
28:00Yes!
28:01Do you feel like you're slamming your head
28:03into a headboard right now?
28:05I don't know what I was thinking.
28:06All right.
28:07Thank you, Elysian.
28:08Thanks, Joel.
28:09Let's talk to somebody who got it right.
28:11Chris W.
28:12Right here, Joel.
28:13Where are you, Chris?
28:13Hey!
28:16How you doing, Chris?
28:17Nervous.
28:17Do you think you're a pretty smart guy, Chris?
28:19Not according to my wife over there.
28:22What's your name?
28:23Haley.
28:24All right.
28:24Aside from your husband,
28:26who else is rooting for you right now?
28:27Yes, my daughter right over there.
28:29Oh, hey!
28:30Oh.
28:32What's your name?
28:33Uh, Peyton.
28:34Peyton?
28:34Man, two out of three of you are smart.
28:37All right, uh...
28:37You said it, Joel, not me.
28:39Okay.
28:40Let's see what the last question did to that prize pot.
28:48$94,000.
28:50When we return, our most fearsome questions,
28:53our ever-growing prize pot,
28:55and the same confused host.
28:57More 1% Club after this, only on Fox.
29:09Welcome back to the 1% Club.
29:11We've read your online petitions and angry emails,
29:14and yet, I am still the host of the show.
29:16What was once 100 contestants is now down to 21.
29:20If you still have your $1,000 left,
29:23you can pay for a pass,
29:24but you can't use it on the 1% question.
29:27Six of you still have a pass,
29:29and you've got four questions left to use it.
29:32This is your 20% question.
29:34Here we go.
29:36How many total syllables are there in the names of the letters below?
29:41Your time starts now.
29:49Yeah, this one involves both numbers and letters.
29:52Eat that, the floor.
30:07Okay, your time is up.
30:10Let's see who answered correctly and who did not.
30:23We only lost one of you on that question,
30:26which means we have 20 of you left,
30:28and one of you used your pass.
30:32Let's see what the answer is.
30:33B, 28.
30:35Every letter of the alphabet is one syllable,
30:37with the exception of W, which has 3.
30:4025 plus 3 is 28.
30:43All right, Madeline, you still have your pass.
30:46I do.
30:48And you still have that fabulous jacket.
30:51I do.
30:52Is there anybody here cheering you on, Madeline?
30:54Yeah, my friend Nikki.
30:55Nikki?
30:56Nikki, you're friends and you're still in the game.
30:59Yes.
30:59Yeah.
31:00Are you guys like supervillains or something?
31:03Just a little bit.
31:04Thank you, Madeline.
31:05Thank you, Nikki.
31:06Nice job.
31:07You're both in it.
31:08Okay, let's check the prize pot, shall we?
31:14$95,000.
31:16Contestants, only 15% of the Americans we polled
31:20answered this next question correctly,
31:22and they seem surprised about it.
31:25Here is your 15% question.
31:30In the image to the right,
31:32what number should logically replace
31:34the question mark next to the R?
31:37Your time starts now.
31:47Whew.
31:48I'm just relieved that even though I don't know the answer,
31:50I still get paid for being here.
32:03Okay, your time is up.
32:06Let's see who answered correctly and, you know,
32:09who screwed it up.
32:23We lost six of you on that question, which means we have 14 of you left and three of you
32:31used your pass.
32:33Here is the answer.
32:35Three.
32:35The chart lists how often each letter appears in the names of the days of the week.
32:40There are three Rs, one each in Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
32:45Okay, good run.
32:46Let's talk to somebody who got it right.
32:48Shaboozer.
32:48Yup.
32:51How hard was that question?
32:53It was insane.
32:55Actually, I did not figure it out until we were waiting for the answer.
32:59Uh-huh.
33:00I just guessed three and happened to be right.
33:02Oh!
33:03Yeah!
33:05I swear to you, I still don't understand this question.
33:09All right, you're still in the game. Good luck.
33:12Woo!
33:12Let's check in with the prize pods.
33:17$98,000!
33:18Our pool of 100 contestants has been narrowed down to just 14.
33:24When we come back, we'll see if anyone can make it into the 1% Club and win up to
33:29$100,000.
33:41Welcome back to the 1% Club.
33:43It's been said that all good things must come to an end.
33:46But did you know that also applies to television shows I appear on?
33:50Uh-huh.
33:51The contestants that make it the furthest in the game will win up to $10,000.
33:56But if they're feeling brave, they can risk their share of that $10,000 by taking on the 1%
34:01question
34:02for a chance to win everything in the prize pod, which is currently at $98,000.
34:10But if anyone's gonna win it, they need to survive our last three questions.
34:15If you still have your $1,000 left, you can pay for a pass, but you can't use it on
34:20the 1% question.
34:21Two of you still have your pass, Peyton and Madeline.
34:25And you've got two questions left to use it.
34:27Here is your 10% question.
34:32Mary runs twice as fast as Pat.
34:35They're running a three-lap race, starting and finishing at the marked line
34:39and running counterclockwise around the track.
34:42Mary is half a lap away from finishing.
34:44Approximately where on the track is Pat?
34:46Your time starts now.
35:13Time, everybody!
35:14Let's see who still is in the game.
35:31Oh!
35:35Wow!
35:36We just lost seven of you on that question, which means we've got seven of you left.
35:41And Peyton and Madeline still have their passes, everybody.
35:48The answer is B.
35:50Mary has run two and a half laps and runs twice as fast as Pat.
35:54So Pat has run one and a quarter laps, which will put him at point B.
36:01Woof!
36:02All right, where is Matt?
36:04Oh, hey, Matt.
36:06Hello.
36:08Hi.
36:08How's it going?
36:09You're representing this entire section of contestants.
36:11These are my people.
36:12I love them.
36:15You look like Jesus at the Last Supper.
36:19Matt, what do you do?
36:20I am an 11th grade English teacher.
36:22Do you think you're gonna win the whole thing?
36:23Oh, absolutely.
36:24When I start something, I finish it, so we're gonna finish it.
36:26All right, nicely done, Matt.
36:27Guess what, guys?
36:29The prize pot is still at $98,000.
36:34Contestants, this is your 5% question.
36:39What two numbers are needed on the last line of this sequence?
36:43Your time starts now.
37:09Time, everybody.
37:11Let's see who's still in the game.
37:25We just lost three of you on that question, which means we have four of you left.
37:32Peyton and Madeline, they used their passes on that one.
37:37Here's the answer, 4 and 10.
37:39The numbers on the right are counting down from 9 to 0.
37:44The numbers on the left have to form a correct equation.
37:48Let's put the $1,000 of anyone who got that wrong or used their pass into the prize pot,
37:54which brings our final total to...
37:59$100,000, everybody.
38:03Congratulations, Madeline, Nikki, Erica, and Peyton.
38:07You have made it to our final question, which means you've now earned up to $10,000,
38:12and you've got a chance to take on the 1% question and win the $100,000 in the prize
38:18pot.
38:18When we come back, it's the moment you've waited almost an hour for,
38:23unless you fast-forwarded past the parts with me.
38:25We're going to find out if any of our players are making it into the 1% club
38:30right after this on Fox.
38:40Here we go!
38:42From 100 contestants to you four, you are about to take on the final question of the game.
38:49Get it right?
38:49And you will win up to $100,000 and become official members of the 1% club,
38:55where you'll face me in a sack race at this year's 1% club picnic.
38:59But before you face your final near-impossible brain teaser,
39:03let's relax and center ourselves with a diabolical choice.
39:08Anyone who wants to leave the game right now can do that and get $10,000.
39:14See?
39:18That's right. You don't have to face the 1% question.
39:21You can watch everyone else sweat through their T-shirts,
39:23and you'll go home with $10,000.
39:26But there is a catch.
39:27If anyone else up here decides to leave,
39:30you'll be splitting that $10,000 with them.
39:32Please ponder this difficult choice in the next few seconds.
39:36Go.
39:47They are all playing.
39:50Nikki, Pink, Erica, Madeline,
39:53you are all gonna take on the 1% question.
39:56You were willing to forego guaranteed cash for a chance at the...
40:02$100,000 prize pot.
40:08All right. Here we go.
40:10You have all made it to the final challenge.
40:12Only 1% of Americans we polled got this right.
40:15You will now face our 1% question
40:18and a chance to win up to $100,000.
40:22Here is the 1% question.
40:28Take a look at this abbreviated alphabetical sequence
40:31and state which two letters replace the question marks.
40:34Your time starts now.
41:06That is time.
41:08Right now your answers are locked in,
41:10and you can't change them,
41:11so we...
41:12might as well ask you what you've put.
41:14Erica, let's start with you.
41:16So obviously they're states,
41:18but it took me a moment
41:20because obviously they're also backwards,
41:22so I couldn't figure out what order they were in.
41:25What did you put?
41:26Uh, I put in North Dakota and D.
41:32We'll see.
41:32Okay. Let's talk to Peyton.
41:35Uh, I had no idea. I wrote C-L.
41:37Okay.
41:39Nikki?
41:39I put C-O.
41:42All right. Madeline?
41:43I put D-E for Delaware
41:45because that's the next after C-N state abbreviation
41:49that I could think of.
41:50All right.
41:51Looks like we're all a little unsure on this one.
41:54We've heard everyone's answers.
41:56Now it's time to find out
41:57if any of you are going to be joining the 1% Club.
42:00Let's see what the answer is.
42:05For $100,000...
42:10The answer is...
42:15C-S.
42:18These are the state abbreviations
42:20reversed and then listed in alphabetical order.
42:23California, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana,
42:26Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
42:28Washington, North Carolina,
42:30and then South Carolina.
42:33Nikki, Peyton, Erica, Madeline,
42:35I'm sorry, but you did not make it
42:37into the 1% Club.
42:39That's it for this week's 1% Club.
42:41Thank you all for tuning in.
42:43You've all been a wonderful audience.
42:45I can neither see, hear, nor smell,
42:47but I'm sure you're great.
42:50See you next time, everyone.
42:51Thank you so much, you guys.
42:53Give it up for them.
42:55Good job, everybody.
42:57So close.
42:59So dang close.
