The 1% Club is an Australian television quiz show based on the British program of the same name. It is broadcast on the Seven Network and hosted by Jim Jefferies. [1] The show is styled as an IQ test and the questions are not based on general knowledge, like many shows, but of "logic and common sense". The top prize achievable is $100,000.
Tom Gleeson revealed in May 2024 he was approached to host the show, but turned it down. [2] Casting for a fourth season which will film in Melbourne in February–March 2025, was announced in October 2024. [3] The series was renewed for a third season in November 2024, [4] which was filmed in Sydney during August 2024. [5]
Before the show, members of the public are asked the same list of questions, including ones featured in the show. Based on the answers, it displays statistically what percentage of Australia's population should get each question correct. In the studio, 100 contestants all face a series of questions beginning with easy ones (e.g. 90% of the country can answer) to difficult ones (e.g. what 5% of the country can answer).
At the start of the show, each contestant receives a $1,000 stake, and if they get any question incorrect, they are eliminated from the game and the $1,000 stake is transferred into the prize pot. At the 50% question, whoever is left in the game from that point on has the option to pass on one question. When passing a question, their $1,000 stake enters the prize pot and they must continue into the game. At the 30% question, anyone still in the game who has not played their pass has the option to take their $1,000 stake and leave the game, or continue on. If no-one makes it past the 5% question, the strongest player(s) still play for the prize pot.
Whoever gets furthest into the quiz (the 1% question) can take a share of $10,000 to leave the game or decide to play on to the final question, where what remains in the prize pot is played for. If there are multiple players in the final round, they play for an equal share of the prize pot. If a player has not played their pass, they win $1,000 regardless of if they answer the 1% question incorrectly. An incorrect answer to the 1% question means that the player leaves with nothing.
