Lee Mack and the Viral ‘6, 7’ Craze
Host Lee Mack found himself captivated by the children and their enthusiasm for the viral ‘6, 7’ meme. In an amusing interaction, Mack asked the kids about their seat numbers, only to be met with a playful demonstration of the trend. The children enthusiastically moved their hands up and down while chanting “6, 7.”
- Viral Origin: A basketball player, who stands at 6 foot 7, popularized the phrase after scoring. He looked into the camera and proclaimed “6, 7.”
- TikTok Popularity: The trend gained traction on TikTok, particularly among Generation Alpha, becoming widely recognizable.
- Dictionary Recognition: The phrase was named Dictionary.com’s word of the year due to its widespread appeal and ambiguous meaning.
As the filming progressed, Lee tried to engage the contestants by repeating “6, 7,” a tactic to capture the kids’ attention. This humorous moment reflects the playful spirit of the show and illustrates how trends like ‘6, 7’ have permeated youth culture.
The 1% Club Kids special promises to be a delightful viewing experience, merging challenging trivia with the vibrant energy of youth. Fans of the original show can look forward to this fresh take slated for release in 2026 on ITV.
