Joel McHale To Replace Patton Oswalt As Host Of Game Show ‘The 1% Club’ As It Moves From Prime Video To Fox

According to TVLine, Joel McHale (Community) will replace Patton Oswalt (Young Adult) on the game show The 1% Club as it switches from Prime Video to Fox for its second season. Oswalt hosted the first season of the game show back in May 2024 when it streamed on Prime Video. The game show will now exclusively air on Fox moving forward.

“I am 1,000,000% excited to be partnering with Fox to host The 1% Club,” McHale says in a statement. “I absolutely love the show and love the game play to the 10 and guarantee my hair, make up, and wardrobe will look great at least 68% of the time.”

“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 Fox President Michael Thorn. “We look forward to expanding on our successful relationship with Joel and continuing our partnership with the incredible production teams at BBC Studios and Magnum.”

As per TVLine, Fox describes the game show series as follows: “tests how your brain works through a series of questions that all have a right answer but can also lead to a series of entertaining wrong answers along the way. Whether you’re a contestant vying for the cash prize or a viewer playing with your friends and family, answer enough questions correctly, and you could earn yourself a place in the 1% Club: an elite group of people who can honestly say they’ve outwitted 99% of the population.”

Magnum Media’s Dean Nabarro (The Friday Night Project) and Andy Auerbach (Duck Quacks Don’t Echo) created the series, which they executive produced alongside BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions’ Ryan O’Dowd (Weakest Link) and Krystal Whitney (Are You the One?). Wes Kauble (Cherries Wild) serves as showrunner for The 1% Club.

The 1% Club is available to stream on Prime Video and the second season will air on Fox in the 2025-26 season.
