‘Hollywood Squares’ Drew Barrymore To Host New Reboot
Drew Barrymore will add another title to her extensive resume, as she has been tapped as the new host of the rebooted Hollywood Squares, and fans are ecstatic. So, what else do we know so far about this game show revamp?
Original The Hollywood Squares Premiered Decades Ago
Like many of the iconic game shows on today that stand the test of time, they often got their humble start decades ago. With popular game shows like The Price Is Right, Wheel Of Fortune, Family Feud, and Jeopardy! still going strong, it certainly makes sense to want to bring another game show like Hollywood Squares back.
The original The Hollywood Squares premiered in 1966. For this game, two contestants compete in a game of tic-tac-toe to win cash and prizes. The big draw for the show that kept viewers coming back was the fact that a popular celebrity sat at each “square.”
The panel of celebs were asked questions. Depending on their answers, contestants had to agree or disagree with those answers. If contestants made the correct choice, they got to occupy the square.
Drew Barrymore The Host Of Game Show Revamp
After getting the ax the first time in the 80s, the game show came back as Hollywood Squares, as well as numerous other iterations and takes on the classic formula.
Over the years, that formula has been a proven winner. So, it’s not entirely shocking that Hollywood Squares is coming back for another go. This time, Drew Barrymore is the captain of the ship.
In a recent clip shared on social media by comedian Gabriel Iglesias, you can see him competing on the set as a contestant. The short clip also features host Drew Barrymore as well. This is the kind of teaser that has game show fans hyped and looking forward to this new iteration of the classic game.
