Hosted by NFL analyst (and CBS Mornings co-host) Nate Burleson, the game show features Drew Barrymore in the center square, joined by celebrity guests in every episode. The Season 1 lineup has included Jay Leno, Whitney Cummings, Pete Holmes, Chaka Khan, Thomas Lennon, Nelly, Patton Oswalt, Nicole Byer, Drew Carey, Jeff Dunham, Max Greenfield, Lil Rel Howery, Rita Moreno and JB Smoove.
In addition to airing on CBS, Hollywood Squares streams on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).
