01:40What's up, Rob?
01:42What's up, Nate?
01:44Man, I'm excited to be here.
01:45This is not my normal stomping grounds, right?
01:48Usually, I'm on an island somewhere.
01:50But I'm excited for the 50th season of Survivor.
01:54And hopefully, I don't have to vote anybody off here tonight.
01:59Well, listen.
02:00This isn't Survivor, but this is survival of the fittest.
02:03So you're going to fit right in today, Boston Rob.
02:05Yeah.
02:07All right, now that we have met some of our stars,
02:09let's meet our players.
02:10Danielle, go ahead and tell the stars
02:11a little bit about yourself.
02:13Hi, I'm Danielle.
02:15I'm from West Hills.
02:19I'm a Survivor super fan.
02:21Let's go.
02:22Hi, Rob.
02:23I've seen my favorite seasons upwards of five times.
02:27Wow.
02:27Yeah, so Rob, I might be coming to you.
02:30Let's go.
02:31Let's go.
02:31All right, Jared, it's on you.
02:33Go ahead and tell the stars a little bit about yourself.
02:35Awesome.
02:35Hi, stars.
02:36My name is Jared.
02:37I'm from Marlton, New Jersey.
02:38Okay.
02:40But my full name is Jared Michael Jordan.
02:44Really?
02:44Yeah.
02:45My parents were huge fans of the athlete,
02:47and they wanted me to aspire to great things,
02:49and I hope to bring those aspirations
02:50here to Hollywood Squares today.
02:53All right.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Thank you two for being here.
02:55Here is how we play Hollywood Squares.
02:58It is your basic game of tic-tac-toe.
03:00You win by getting three squares in a row.
03:02You can also win by being the first to get five squares.
03:04I will ask the stars a question.
03:06All you got to do is agree or disagree.
03:08If you get it right, then you get the square.
03:10Now, if you get it wrong,
03:11that square will go to your opponent.
03:13Then at the end of the game,
03:14the player with the most money goes on to our bonus round
03:17for a chance at $25,000.
03:20Yeah.
03:21But wait.
03:22There's more.
03:23Drew, what else we got?
03:24We have a thing called a secret square.
03:26You pick the square.
03:28If you answer the question right,
03:29you could go on an amazing life-changing holiday.
03:32That's it.
03:33Now, before we get started,
03:35let's show the audience at home who that secret square is.
03:38All right.
03:38Let's play some Hollywood Squares.
03:43This first round is worth $1,000.
03:46Danielle, you won the coin toss.
03:47So go ahead.
03:48It's on you.
03:48Pick your star.
03:49I'm going to go with my queen, Drew Barrymore.
03:53Drew Barrymore.
03:56Excuse me for saying that.
03:58All right.
03:59Let's get this game started.
04:00Drew, here's the question.
04:01What 2015 film features Richard Kind
04:03as the voice of Bing Bong?
04:06Oh.
04:07Debbie does Bing Bong.
04:09Obviously.
04:11No.
04:12All jokes aside,
04:13it is the film Inside Out,
04:15which is not only a classic,
04:17I think it's a masterpiece.
04:18All right, Danielle.
04:19Do you agree or disagree?
04:20Well,
04:21I also saw Inside Out,
04:23and I agree.
04:25And you would be correct.
04:28Yeah.
04:28It is Inside Out.
04:30Circle gets the square.
04:31All right, Jared,
04:32it's on you.
04:33Pick your star.
04:34I am a huge Reno 911 fan,
04:37so I'm going to have to go with my girl,
04:39Niecy Nash-Betz.
04:40Niecy.
04:43All right, Niecy, here we go.
04:45Yes.
04:45Growler, Hornet, and Scruff
04:48are all dating apps for what demographic?
04:52Women who are done with waxing.
04:57Listen, this is for people with pets.
05:01Jared, do you agree or disagree?
05:03I don't know for sure,
05:04but I like her confidence a lot,
05:06so I'm going to have to agree.
05:07So Growler, Hornet, and Scruff
05:10are all dating apps for gay men.
05:13Oh.
05:13Which means you are incorrect.
05:15Circle gets the steal.
05:17Danielle, it's on you.
05:19Pick your star.
05:21I'm going to go for the win.
05:23Joe Coy.
05:23Joe Coy.
05:24Yes.
05:25Nice.
05:26For the win.
05:27Here's your question.
05:28Which musical instrument evolved from a predecessor
05:31known as the sack butt?
05:34There's an instrument called the sack butt?
05:38This feels like a trap.
05:41I have a sack butt.
05:43Look at this.
05:44Wait, no, no, no!
05:45Hey!
05:46Joe!
05:47Joe!
05:48I have no butt.
05:49You can have all the money in the world,
05:51you can't buy a butt.
05:52Yes, you can!
05:53Guys don't get BBOs.
05:57Okay, this is all I can think of right now
05:59when you say sack.
06:00Instrument, sack, bagpipes.
06:03All right, Danielle.
06:03This is for the square and the first round money.
06:06Okay.
06:07I sort of had a similar line of thinking.
06:11For that reason, I agree.
06:13So the musical instrument evolved from the trombone.
06:17Okay, that's okay.
06:18So you are incorrect.
06:19Okay.
06:20Which means X gets the steal.
06:22Love it.
06:23All right.
06:23Here we go, Jared.
06:24It's on you.
06:25Pick your square.
06:26I think I'm gonna go with the very funny Pete Holmes.
06:29Pete Holmes!
06:30Oh!
06:31You picked the secret square!
06:33Oh!
06:36Drew, if Jared gets this right,
06:38tell him where he could be going.
06:39A Caribbean crew!
06:45Let's do it.
06:46All right.
06:46In a 2025 survey that used AI-generated voices,
06:50which accent did Americans trust more?
06:52Southern or New York?
06:56Southern or New York?
06:57Well, let's put that to the test.
06:59Well, I do declare I'm walking here!
07:03Uh...
07:04Oh, I'm walking here!
07:06There you go!
07:08I'm gonna say Southern.
07:10I think Southern.
07:12All right, Jared, with that cruise on the line,
07:16do you agree with Pete?
07:18I'm gonna agree with Pete that, uh,
07:20the Southern accent is-is trusted more than New York.
07:23I think so.
07:25Looks like you're going from Jersey to the Caribbean.
07:28Cuz you are correct!
07:30X gets the square!
07:32You are going on a Caribbean cruise!
07:37Island hop through the Caribbean with Princess!
07:40You and a guest will embark on one of our next-level love boats
07:44for a personalized medallion-class vacation.
07:47From the world-famous beaches on our private island resort,
07:50experience award-winning dining and stellar entertainment.
07:54You'll love these islands with Princess!
07:58All right!
07:59We are going to take a quick break for Hollywood Squares
08:02when we return.
08:12Welcome back to Hollywood Squares!
08:15Before we get back into the game,
08:16let's check in with one of our stars.
08:18Give it up for Ron Funches!
08:20Oh, come on now!
08:22Wow!
08:23Okay!
08:24What's up, Ron?
08:25What's up, Nate?
08:26You know I am happy to be here,
08:27but I am sick of people making fun of the way you dress.
08:30Thank you!
08:31You look amazing!
08:32Thank you, Ron!
08:33You look like a candy cane got drunk on Hennessy.
08:38Pete, you should not be talking.
08:39I thought you did IT here.
08:41I thought you were here to fix the computers.
08:45I'm just sick of these guys.
08:46Can't be talking about you.
08:47Joe Coy dressed like he run a pottery class in the inner city.
08:52He does!
08:54Ron, don't you say nothing about me!
08:56I love you, Miss Pat.
08:57I would never.
08:57I know you got a gun under that bra.
08:59You damn right!
09:02Wait a minute, Ron.
09:04Yes?
09:04What am I wearing?
09:06Oh, you're the prettiest little lion tamer there ever was!
09:14All right, now we are in the middle of a fierce first round.
09:18Danielle, it's on you.
09:19Go ahead and pick your star.
09:20For the block, my girl Tiffany Haddish.
09:23Tiffany Haddish!
09:26Here we go.
09:27Besides their mouths, what do frogs use to push down their food when they swallow it?
09:34Well, well, you know I'm a licensed zoologist.
09:38And as a certified zoologist, I do study frogs.
09:41Right, right.
09:42I have watched frogs eat before.
09:43They got very long tongues.
09:45When they catch the food, they go, uh!
09:46And then, and they close their eyes and they roll them in the back of their head.
09:50And they go,
09:53Really?
09:54Oh my God!
09:56Tiffany, can you do that from the side?
09:59Oh no!
10:00No, I can only do it on my knees if I go to the side.
10:08Tiffany!
10:09All right, Danielle.
10:11Uh, yeah, sure. I'll agree.
10:16Tiffany Haddish is right.
10:19So you are correct!
10:20Oh my God!
10:22Danielle gets the block, circle gets the square.
10:25All right, Jared, it's on you.
10:26Go ahead and pick your square.
10:28He's one of my kings of comedy.
10:30I'm gonna go with Ron Funches.
10:31Ron Funches!
10:33Funches!
10:34For the block.
10:36All right, Ron.
10:37He needs you.
10:38I'm here to help.
10:39I'm not gonna do that frog thing for him, but...
10:43We know Ron rolls his eyes when he eats.
10:51All right, Ron. Here we go.
10:52After falling in love on Survivor, Boston Rob Mariano said in 2025 that he and Amber, his wife of 20
10:59years, were two kids that met on a what?
11:03On a bad decision they turned into a career.
11:06Hey, hey, hey, hey!
11:08Hey!
11:09Smart enough up there.
11:11Have you met these Survivor people? They don't eat nothing. They don't poop for like a whole month. You can't
11:16trust nobody.
11:17Don't trust nobody that ain't pooping regularly.
11:23All right, Ron. Let's lock in. Jared needs you for the block.
11:27Uh, they must have met on an island.
11:30Okay. Jared, do you agree or disagree?
11:32It sounds good, so I'm gonna go with Ron Funches here. I'm gonna agree.
11:36All right. Well, we have the man himself. Uh, Boston Rob, what did you say?
11:41I mean, you've been paying attention. We met on an island.
11:45Boom! There it is! So you are correct. X gets the block.
11:50Okay. Danielle, it's on you. Go ahead. Pick your star.
11:53It is with delight that I go to my king, Boston Rob.
11:57My king!
11:59Okay, Boston Rob.
12:01All right, here's the question.
12:02A strategic move in the NFL, the tush push, is sometimes called the brotherly shove because of its regular use
12:09by what team?
12:11Everybody knows the tush push was made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles.
12:17All right. Danielle.
12:18Well, Boston Rob, I do know that you have led people astray before.
12:23Ooh.
12:24This is true. This is true.
12:26But I'm going to respectfully and enthusiastically agree.
12:30All right.
12:32Boston Rob is right. It is the Philadelphia Eagles.
12:35Let's go!
12:35Thank you!
12:36So, circle gets the square.
12:39All right.
12:39It is time for a quick break.
12:42More Hollywood squares coming right up.
12:52Welcome back to Hollywood squares.
12:54We've got a good one going, going in this first round.
12:57Let's get back into the game.
12:59Jared, it is on you.
13:00Go ahead and pick your star.
13:03I'm going to go with the super talented Ariana DeBose for the block.
13:07Yeah, Ariana DeBose for the block.
13:08That makes sense.
13:09Okay.
13:11All right, Ariana, here we go.
13:12According to a study in European Psychologist, declining birth rates around the world may be linked to rising ownership of
13:19what?
13:21The TikTok castration trend.
13:25No, seriously.
13:27I mean, smartphones.
13:28Let's go with smartphones.
13:30All right, Jared.
13:31The fact that she's not super confident in that answer, I'm going to have to disagree with you, Ariana.
13:36So according to the study, it's dogs.
13:39So you are correct.
13:42X gets the square in the block.
13:44That's a good disagree.
13:44That's a good disagree.
13:47Why would dogs be decreasing fertility or having children?
13:51The ownership of dogs.
13:53I think it's maybe because I'm like this.
13:56If the dog is in the room, ain't nothing going down.
13:59What?
13:59I'm doing it in front of my dogs all the time.
14:03Ew.
14:04All right.
14:05Here is a reminder for you.
14:07The first of five squares wins the round.
14:11All right, Danielle, go ahead and pick your square.
14:15I'm going to pick the talented, vivacious Ms. Pat.
14:21That's right.
14:24You saved the best for last.
14:26That's right.
14:29All right, Ms. Pat.
14:30Here we go.
14:31Often heard when the police arrive unannounced, what slang term sounds exactly like a Cantonese word for grandma?
14:39Uh, Ron.
14:43Don't answer that damn door.
14:46Who you looking for?
14:50No, he don't live here.
14:53All right.
14:54Come on, Ms. Pat.
14:565-0.
14:57All right.
14:59Danielle, for the round, do you agree or disagree?
15:02I don't know Cantonese.
15:04However, Ms. Pat, you look so beautiful, so I'm going to agree.
15:11And you would be incorrect.
15:14Incorrect.
15:14Okay.
15:16It is Popo.
15:18Excuse me.
15:19We haven't used Popo since the early 80s.
15:23Popo's back, Ms. Pat.
15:24I've been meaning to tell you.
15:27All right.
15:28Here's the thing.
15:29You cannot win the round with a steal.
15:32Jared, it's on you.
15:34I'll let you do the honors and pick your square.
15:37All right, Ms. Pat.
15:38Let's get this win.
15:39Let's do it.
15:40Ms. Pat, for the win.
15:42Okay.
15:43Here we go.
15:44The TikTok trend where kids try to smash through other people's fences is known as the what challenge.
15:50You do my fences, I'm going to beat your ass.
15:55But I'm going to say Juggernaut.
15:58For the round.
16:00Jared, do you agree or disagree?
16:02I know Juggernaut in the X-Men, so I'm going to actually agree with Ms. Pat here and say it's
16:07the Juggernaut challenge.
16:09All right, the TikTok trend is known as the Kool-Aid Man challenge.
16:16So you are incorrect.
16:19All right, now here's the thing.
16:21You can't win on a steal, so Danielle, it's back on you.
16:25Ms. Pat.
16:26All right.
16:27All right, come on, Ms. Pat.
16:29Let's see if the third time is the charm.
16:32What is the term for a word like kayak that is the same forward and backward?
16:38I'm going to give you the answer what I believe in because the Holy Spirit told me to tell you
16:43this.
16:46Palindrome?
16:48All right, Danielle.
16:50Spig is for the square, which will give you the first round money?
16:54Do you agree or disagree?
16:57I have a best friend named Hannah, and that is a palindrome, and so is Kayak and I agree.
17:04Danielle, you would be correct!
17:10Circle is the first of five squares, so you win the round.
17:14Congratulations, Danielle.
17:16We are adding $1,000 to your bank.
17:19Oh.
17:19So that sound right there, that means that time is up.
17:22But good news for you, you are going to the bonus round.
17:25Oh, my gosh.
17:25That's right.
17:26And, Jared, we're not leaving here empty handed.
17:28Wow.
17:28We are still sending you on that cruise through the Caribbean.
17:32And when we come back, Danielle is going to be playing for $25,000.
17:47Woo-hoo!
17:49Woo-hoo!
17:49Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
17:51Danielle has racked up a cool $1,000.
17:54Woo-hoo!
17:55Yeah!
17:55Yeah!
17:56Yeah!
17:56Yeah!
17:56Yeah!
17:56Yeah!
17:57Yeah!
17:57Yeah!
17:57Yeah!
17:57Yeah!
17:58Yeah!
17:59That's the bonus round.
17:59Well, you will have a chance at an additional $25,000.
18:06Any idea what you would do with all of that money?
18:09Yes.
18:10After years of helping people buy and sell houses,
18:14I could finally put a down payment on a house of my own.
18:18Oh, come on!
18:19Let's do this!
18:20We all want that to happen.
18:22All right.
18:23Now, here is how the bonus round works.
18:24We're going to give you 60 seconds.
18:26I'll read a statement about each star.
18:28All you have to do is agree or disagree.
18:30For every one that you get correct, you will earn that square.
18:33Now, every star up there has an envelope,
18:34but only one of them is holding a card worth $25,000.
18:39She ready!
18:41Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
18:46All right.
