-Welcome to "The 1% Club," where logic beats knowledge

Hey, guys.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's Second Chance Night.
All these people who lost in a previous game are back for more,
suckers for punishment.
They're my kind of audience.
I'm Joel McHale, and it's time to play The 1% Club.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm here before 100 contestants
having crazy d\jà vu.
I swear I've hosted this show in the exact same suit
at least once before.
Why are you laughing at me?
Also, it's Second Chance Night,
which means contestants who screwed up last time
are getting one more opportunity to win big
or turn their single loss into a proper losing streak.
-No! No!
-It all starts now, guys.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Alright.
One out of every ten Americans we polled
got this first question wrong.

-Alright. -I'd like to, yeah.
-Positive attitude. [ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, Hunter.
Okay, guys, to start the game,
