Before the show, we asked people
from all over the United States a list of our unique questions
that are designed to test logic, common sense,
and how our brain actually works.
Tonight, we'll be asking those exact questions
to our 100 contestants,
beginning with the easiest one that 90% of America got right,
and ending with the hardest question
that only 1% of the American public answered correctly.
At the start of each show,
every contestant is given a $1,000 stake.
If they get any question wrong, they're out of the game
and their $1,000 goes into the prize pot.
Whoever gets the furthest tonight
gets the chance to answer the final 1% question
and take home up to $100,000!
- I'll be doing the asking tonight,
and here doing the answering
are these 100 contestants!

you're about to take on the final question of the game.
Get it right, and you could win up to $98,000
and become official members of the 1% club,
a highly prestigious club that meets every month
at a motel by the airport.
[ Laughter ] First hour of parking is free.
Now it's time for a true dilemma.
It's a new season here on "The 1% Club,"
so to switch things up,
we've decided to make your last chance to walk away
a bit more difficult.
We're going to put $10,000 up for grabs,
and all you have to do to get that $10,000
is walk away from the game right now.
Easy money, right?
Wrong. There is a catch.
If more than one of you decide to leave,
you will have to split that $10,000
with anyone else who decides to walk.
But just like when I proposed to my wife,
I'll respect your uncertainty
and provide a few seconds to you to decide.
[ Laughter ] Go.

They're all staying!
Amelie, Gabe, Kurt, Mark, and Thomas
are going to take on the 1% question!
You were willing to forego guaranteed cash
for a chance at the...
$98,000 in the prize pot. [ Cheers and applause ]
Okay, here is your 1% question.
Your time starts now.
♪
Time, everybody.
Right now, your answers are locked in
and you can't change them,
so we might as well ask you what you put.
Kurt, it looked like you had some struggles
and a lot of spasms after the time finished.
What did you put down?
- "You did not enter an answer."
- You did not enter an answer? - No.
- No answer at all? - We ran out of time, yeah.
- Alright, so sorry. - Couldn't find it.
- Thomas, what did you put?
- I also did not enter an answer.
I see it now. - You did not put an answer.
Okay. How about you, Amelie, what did you put?
- I started to write the word, I put "I,"
but I didn't get the answer.
- Mark, what did you have?
- I put "unproducible."
[ Applause ] - You put "unproducible" down?
- Yes.
- Okay, alright.
Gabe. - Joel.
- What did you put down?
- "Unpredictably."
[ Cheers and applause ]
- Alright, we've heard everyone's answers,
now it's time to find out if any of you
are going to be joining the 1% club tonight.
Let's see what the answer is.
♪
For $98,000,
the answer is...
[ Cheers and applause ]
- Let's go!
- It is"unpredictably"!
Congratulations, Gabe!
You are walking out of here with $98,000
and you are officially in the 1% club.
- Whoo! - Yeah!
- That's it for "The 1% Club," but watch next week
to see if someone can withstand the pressure
and win up to $100,000
and avoid the temptation to punch me.
Good night, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ] Nicely done.
You did it! - I know!
- $98,000!
