CBS has swept the game off its feet and will be delivering all the magic to us starting this January. ¡Qué emoción!
This reinvigorated "Hollywood Squares," with Drew playing the central star, was unveiled by CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and CBS president/CEO George Cheeks during a buzz-filled news conference. The duo shed light on the 2024-2025 TV lineup, and let me tell you, it sounds like we are in for a treat!
So, ¿cuándo exactly can you catch this superstar-studded game show? Mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET. And guess what? It's going to be part of a noche of entertainment that includes “The Price is Right at Night” with the charismatic Drew Carey at 8 p.m. and the thrilling new season of "Raid the Cage," hosted by the dynamic Damon Wayans, Jr. and the fabulous co-host Jeannie Mai at 9 p.m. It's a triple thrill, amigos, during the midseason hiatus of CBS's Wednesday staples like "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race."
Now, let's chat about the gameplay because it's all about those celeb squares! Imagine this: a towering 'board' of open-faced cubes, each one home to a celeb looking ready to bring the fun. They'll face off against the contestants, answering preguntas with their witty or wise cracks, and it's up to the contestants to decide if they're hearing the truth or just a clever fib to win the game.
And who better to lead this sparkling charade than Drew herself? Already a beloved member of the CBS family with her talk show "The Drew Barrymore Show," this chica brings her adorable charm and a rolodex of amigo celebrities sure to keep things interesting under those Hollywood squares.
Amy Reisenbach can't hide her excitement, saying, “Drew's adorable, engaging, and bringing her friends into the squares, which is perfect for a vibrant 10 o'clock show.” And George Cheeks adds a cherry on top, noting, "We're keeping true to the game's classic roots but dialing up the excitement with Drew, whose love for the franchise is just so palpable."
It's been a hot minute—two decades actually—since “Hollywood Squares” graced our screens regularly, with the last syndicated flavor hosted by Tom Bergeron wrapping up in 2004. And while the game has seen various iterations over the years, including “Hip Hop Squares” and “Nashville Squares,” there's nothing quite like having Drew at the helm.
So, prepare yourselves for some top-tier entretenimiento with the new “Hollywood Squares” featuring our querida Drew Barrymore. It's going to mix all the sizzle of classic TV with the dazzle of modern stars. ¡No te lo pierdas!
