Hollywood Squares

1998–2004 · 6 seasons

Breezy, joke-filled banter where celebrities trade quips and the game is just an excuse for playful chaos.

Overview: On September 14, 1998, a Hollywood Squares revival debuted with Tom Bergeron as its host. In addition to her production duties, Whoopi Goldberg served as the permanent center square, with series head writer Bruce Vilanch, Gilbert Gottfried, Martin Mull, and Caroline Rhea as regular panelists and Brad Garrett, Bobcat Goldthwait, Jeffrey Tambor, George Wallace, Kathy Griffin and various others as semi-regular panelists. Shadoe Stevens returned to announce, although he was not given a square on the panel as he had been when John Davidson was host.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, campy and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Media, celebrity, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
