Is Hollywood Squares coming back?

Hollywood Squares ended on April 27, 2004, on syndication. The show was a long-running celebrity game show that featured a tic-tac-toe format with celebrities placed in strategic positions. Contestants were asked questions and had to determine whether the answers were correct or false. The game was won by the first player to secure three Xs or Os in a row, or if the board filled up, the player with the most squares secured. There was also a Secret Square prize that accumulated until claimed, and it was awarded to the contestant even if they lost the game. The show saw various hosts and panelists over its run, including Joan Rivers as Center Square and Tom Bergeron as host, with Whoopi Goldberg playing a key role in its revival. Henry Winkler later took over hosting duties after reports of budget reductions involving Goldberg.

This game show was based on a classic format that first aired in 1966, with multiple revivals over the years. It combined quiz questions with celebrity appearances, making it a popular entertainment staple. The version covered here aired from 2003 to 2004, with the 2004 season being the final run. The show’s premise involved celebrities answering questions and engaging in humorous exchanges, all within the familiar tic-tac-toe setting. It was a light-hearted program that relied on celebrity panelists and humorous interactions.

The cast included Tom Bergeron as host, Shadoe Stevens, Whoopi Goldberg, John Moschitta Jr., and Jeffrey Tambor as announcers.
