Celebrity Squares is a revamped version of the vintage game TV Show Hollywood Squares and is hosted by comedian and actor DC Young Fly.
With a fresh name, “Who Broke the Story,” the new version of the traditional format will concentrate on details about Black pop culture. Celebrity Squares, produced by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat and Jesse Collins Entertainment, takes elements from the previous hit show and presents them in a fresh, entertaining way for a modern audience.
The show would bring together famous celebrities for “20 fun and unexpected half-hour episodes.” Among the famous people scheduled to appear are Tiffany Haddish, Babyface, Kirk Franklin, Bobby Brown, Luenell, Bresha Webb, Taye Diggs, and many others.
Celebrity Squares Plot
Before diving into Celebrity Squares Episode 1, let’s quickly talk about the show. Celebrity Squares pairs up with two people to play Tic-Tac-Toe while trying to earn money and rewards. The participant who has the highest balance in their bank at the last moment of the game moves to the bonus round for an opportunity to win a ten thousand dollar cash prize.
Other famous people scheduled to appear alongside the other guests are Deon Cole, Jasmin Brown, Brandee Evans, Kel Mitchell, Jason Lee, Karrueche, Kevin Frazier, Keshia Knight-Pulliam, Tamar Braxton, Nene Leakes, Tisha Campbell, Amanda Seales, and many others.
Celebrity Squares expands on the lengthy legacy of Hollywood Squares. The original game show made its NBC debut in 1965 as a pilot before being taken up to series in 1966 and airing on the network till 1980. From 1971 until 1981, a syndicated late-night version was shown.
The program was resurrected twice in distribution, first between 1986 and 1989 and again from 1998 to 2004. The fan-favorite is presently available to watch for free on Pluto TV’s Hollywood Squares channel.
Celebrity Squares is executive produced by Bryan Smiley, Kevin Hart, Jesse Collins, Thai Randolph, Madison Merritt, Dionne Harmon, Tiffany Lea Williams, Elaine Metaxas, Mimi Blanchard, Angela Aguilera, and Raye Dowell as we look ahead to the next chapter of the show’s destiny. Meanwhile, Nile Evans is the showrunner.
Recently, the host of this show, DC Young Fly, was featured in the New Line/SpringHill film House Party.
