Hollywood Squares back with a reboot on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Watch the show live for free on Fubo today.

CBS is bringing back the game show Hollywood Squares on Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET. The show which which has aired multiple iterations since its debut on NBC back in 1966, is a game show in which two contestants play tic-tac-toe to win cash and prizes. Each square on their board, though, is occupied by a different celebrity, who is asked a question by the player; the contestant must then decide whether the celebrity’s answer is correct. Following its series premiere on Jan. 16, CBS’ reboot will move to Wednesdays beginning Jan. 29, where it will air as part of CBS Game Night and follow new episodes of The Price Is Right at Night and Raid the Cage. Nate Burleson (CBS Mornings) hosts the latest version of the series, with actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore taking center square.

So, while it is a legitimate game show, what makes Hollywood Squares stand apart from Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune, is the opportunity for the celebrities to bring comedy to the proceedings, especially with some off-the-wall answers.

Barrymore told a small group of reporters backstage at a taping of Hollywood Squares that she had watched the show her entire life, and the laughter the show delivered was a big part of the reason why.

“I sought out Hollywood Squares because it always looked like a party, and it was comedy with a game,” she said. “I’ve always been drawn to comedy, so it was always my favorite.”
