McHale also stars in the FOX comedy Animal Control, and the network's reality competition show Crime Scene Kitchen.

"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," FOX Television Network President Michael Thorn said in a statement Thursday.

The adaptation of the British quiz show challenges contestants to answer a series of increasingly tough questions that only 1 percent of people can get right.

The grand prize is $100,000.
