Not exactly. He will be able to show you 98 doors with nothing behind
them no matter which you picked initially, but his choice of the 98
doors depends on which one you picked.

Now, if the host starts the game by randomly eliminating 98 doors that
don't have the prize and asking you to pick one of the two remaining
ones, then yes, it is a 1/2 chance.

However, as the game stands, you pick a door first. If you stay with
your original choice, you will only win if you picked the winning door
to begin with (a 1/100 chance).
