"Hello again everybody, I'm Casey Kasem and this is 100%! A non-stop test of knowledge and speed where our contestants are competing for cash prizes. Could any of our contestants answer all the questions correctly, scoring 100%, they win $100,000!"
100% was a short-lived syndicated game show where three contestants answer a series of 100 general knowledge questions by pushing buttons corresponding to the answers.
Format[]
The twist was that throughout the game, the scores were mentioned every 10 questions, but not who had which score, although the contestants were told if there was a change in the lead.
While most of the questions were multiple choice, with choices labeled A, B, and C, every fifth question was a true/false question, while Question 100 took the form of a ridiculous fact that was almost always true.
The winner received $10 per correct answer, and if (s)he managed a perfect score, they received a $99,000 bonus for a total of $100,000; however, it was never won during the show's brief run.
