01:08It's good to have you here.
01:09And a big hello to our center square, Drew Barrymore.
01:12Hello.
01:12Hello, partner.
01:14How are you doing?
01:15I'm really good.
01:17I feel mentally stable.
01:19That's good.
01:19We'll see how long that lasts tonight on the show.
01:23So, Janelle James, hello.
01:25Oh, hey.
01:27Now, I know you play a principal on Abbott Elementary.
01:31We love that, don't we?
01:32Of course.
01:34I have a favor to ask you, though.
01:35Can you be our resident principal here tonight?
01:38And what ground rules do you have for the classroom?
01:40Ooh.
01:41I'm going to need a compliment every 10 minutes or so.
01:43Okay.
01:45I think Janelle James is fine as hell.
01:47Thank you, Chris.
01:48Thank you, Chris.
01:5010 minutes on the clock.
01:51We'll check back in with you.
01:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:52All right.
01:53Now that we have met some of our stars, let's meet our players.
01:56Laura, go ahead and tell the stars a little bit about yourself.
01:57Hey, you guys.
01:58I'm Laura.
01:59I'm from Los Altos Hills, California.
02:00I have two kids and I have a boyfriend.
02:03And actually, in the 90s, I passed him a note and I said,
02:06hey, do you want to make out?
02:08And we did.
02:09And then we went our separate ways,
02:11but then we kept running into each other,
02:13and now we've been together for 10 years.
02:14Oh, my God!
02:16That's so awful!
02:17Who would say no to that kind of note?
02:20Would you like to make out?
02:21Uh, no.
02:23All right, Corey, tell the stars a little bit about yourself.
02:26Hey, guys.
02:26My name's Corey.
02:27I am from San Diego, California.
02:29As you can tell, I am a hairy individual.
02:32Ooh.
02:32I've looked, I've had this beard since I was 11 years old,
02:36and I've had a man bun since I was 14,
02:38so I've looked like this for more than half my life.
02:40All right.
02:41I like it!
02:42Wait, Corey, you and I look like Jason Momoa
02:45and Lisa Bonet let themselves go.
02:50That's terrible to tell!
02:52That's awful!
02:54All right, here is how we play Hollywood Square.
02:57It is your basic game of tic-tac-toe.
02:59You win by getting three squares in a row,
03:01or the first to five squares.
03:02Now, I will ask one of the stars a question.
03:04All you have to do is agree or disagree.
03:06If you get it right, you get that square.
03:08If you get it wrong, then that square will go to your opponent.
03:11And at the end of the game, the player with the most money
03:13goes to our bonus round, where you will have a shot at $25,000.
03:19Woo-hoo!
03:21But wait, there's more.
03:23Drew, what else we got?
03:24There's a secret square.
03:25They don't know they're the secret square.
03:27And if you choose that and get the answer right,
03:29you could go on a great trip!
03:32That's it.
03:33That's it.
03:35Before we get started, let's show the audience at home
03:37who that secret square is.
03:39All right, let's play some Hollywood Square!
03:42Let's go!
03:44The first round is worth $1,000.
03:48Laura, you won the coin toss.
03:49Awesome.
03:49Go ahead and pick your star.
03:51Tashina Arnold.
03:52Oh!
03:52Tashina Arnold!
03:53Yeah!
03:54Yeah!
03:55All right, Tashina, let's start this off right.
03:57J-Pay is a popular means of sending funds
04:00to people who are where?
04:02Um, Japan.
04:04All right.
04:05Laura, do you agree or disagree?
04:07You know what?
04:08I'm going to agree with Tashina just because I love her.
04:10It's actually jail.
04:12So you are incorrect.
04:14X gets the steal.
04:16I'm sorry.
04:17I try to stay away from things that have to do with jail.
04:20OK?
04:22All right.
04:22You're on the board, Corey.
04:24OK.
04:25Go ahead.
04:25Pick your star.
04:27I love his podcast.
04:28I'm going to pick Paul Scheer.
04:29Paul Scheer!
04:29Whoa!
04:32How are you?
04:33I'm good.
04:33I'm hoping I win some of this hair.
04:36I like the cul-de-sac look.
04:37Thank you, yeah.
04:42Hey, the Ball Coalition going to talk to you after the show.
04:44That's it.
04:44My bad.
04:45My bad.
04:45You're right.
04:46All right.
04:47Here we go.
04:47In early 19th century America, what pricey delicacy was often given away for free in bars?
04:53This is tuberculosis poppers and had a little side of opium sauce.
04:59Really good.
05:02I would say caviar.
05:05All right.
05:05I think that caviar has been fancy for a really long time.
05:08I'm going to disagree.
05:10Oh.
05:11Oh, my God.
05:12It is actually caviar.
05:14Paul is right.
05:15Oh!
05:16Which means circle hits the square.
05:19Corey!
05:19All right, Laura, it's on you.
05:21Go ahead.
05:21Pick your star.
05:21I have to go with Drew Barrymore.
05:23I've been.
05:23Ugh.
05:24Oh, Laura.
05:27All right, Drew.
05:28According to a 2023 Gallup poll, Americans only start to see a rise in levels of happiness
05:33at which of these ages?
05:3425 or 50?
05:36There is no question for me.
05:38I just turned 50 and I am.
05:42Woo!
05:43Woo!
05:44And I am the happiest I've ever been in my life.
05:47So if this is a wrong answer, everybody, because they're wrong.
05:50Oh.
05:51I'm so sorry.
05:52Oh, yay.
05:53You heard it here first, America.
05:55I'm sorry.
05:55Everybody.
05:56Yay, man.
05:58All right.
05:59Your answer is everybody.
06:05Yeah, baby.
06:06I feel like I should have set some different ground rules.
06:10Okay.
06:11If I heard you correctly, you're saying 50.
06:13With all my heart, 50.
06:14I don't know if that's the right answer, but it is for me.
06:17All right, Laura.
06:18Drew, I'm 55 and absolutely life gets better after 50.
06:23100%.
06:23We know.
06:24We know.
06:25Let's see what everybody else says.
06:27Exactly.
06:28Everybody else says the same thing.
06:29It's 50.
06:30Circle gets the square.
06:32Oh, thank God.
06:33All right, Cory.
06:34Go ahead and pick your star.
06:35I am going to pick the beautiful Janelle James for the block.
06:38Oh, for the block.
06:39That's right.
06:40The beautiful Janelle James for the block.
06:42Right on time.
06:43How you doing, Janelle?
06:44You all right?
06:45I'm pretty good now.
06:46Okay.
06:48Here we go.
06:49On Drew's talk show, Gwen Stefani said the best marriage advice
06:52is to make sure you have a third party involved.
06:56What third party was she referring to?
06:58I'm going to say a couples therapist.
07:01Cory, this is huge because you need this square for the block.
07:04I think that's just not something that Gwen Stefani would say.
07:07I think that's...
07:09Okay.
07:10I'm going to disagree.
07:11Oh, Cory.
07:12Come on.
07:13And you are going to get the block because you are correct.
07:17Gwen Stefani said that God is the third party.
07:20Oh.
07:21All right, Laura.
07:22It's on you.
07:23Pick your star.
07:23I am going to go for the block with Michelle Buteau.
07:26Oh, yeah.
07:27Michelle Buteau.
07:28Oh!
07:29What?
07:30You picked the secret square.
07:31What?
07:32Are you in?
07:33Oh, my God.
07:34Oh, my God.
07:35So much pressure.
07:36If you get this question right, Drew, tell her where she could be going.
07:40I've never had a secret.
07:40If they get it right, they get to go to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.
07:48We got to get this.
07:49We have to get this.
07:51Right?
07:51And you have to take me.
07:53Okay.
07:53All right, Michelle, here we go.
07:55According to the brand Intimacy, from 1993 to 2013, the average breast size in the U.S. increased from a
08:0234B to a what?
08:04I'll take this.
08:09No, this is a perfect question for me.
08:11We're going to, like, get you to Mexico because I am a top expert.
08:14Okay?
08:17So, um, I have a very sex-positive show.
08:20I talk to women about their bodies.
08:22I want to say it's a 36C.
08:24All right.
08:25Laura?
08:26I'm just going to have to go with my girl, Michelle, because I'm just feeling you.
08:31I trust you.
08:32That's all I can go off with.
08:35That is incorrect.
08:40It's 34DD.
08:41Oh, wow.
08:42What?
08:43I said I would take this.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Okay, Corey.
08:48You cannot win the round with a steal because around here you have to...
08:53That's right.
08:53So we're going to take a quick break.
08:54And when we come back, we're going to find out if Corey can do just that.
08:58More of the iconic Hollywood Squares when we return.
09:08Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
09:10Before we get back into the game, Tony Hawk is in the building.
09:15The legend.
09:17What's your biggest bit of advice for someone learning how to skateboard?
09:21Tighten your trucks.
09:22Tighten your trucks?
09:23Yeah.
09:23I would say it's get insurance.
09:27That'll help.
09:28All right.
09:29We are in the middle of a fierce first round.
09:31Corey, it is on you.
09:33Go ahead.
09:33Pick your star.
09:34It's got to be Michelle Buteau.
09:36Michelle Buteau.
09:37Really?
09:37It does?
09:38Okay.
09:38For the win.
09:39All right, Michelle, here we go.
09:41Okay.
09:42A thespian is a person who has what job on a play?
09:46Oh, my goodness.
09:47This does feel like it's one for Tig.
09:51Um...
09:52No, I think you heard me wrong.
09:53A thespian, not a lesbian.
09:54Oh, a thespian!
09:55Yeah.
09:55Sorry.
09:58I'll have you know I am straight.
10:04All right, Michelle.
10:05You ready?
10:05Okay, I know this answer because I lived in L.A.
10:07And it's an actor.
10:08All right.
10:09This is huge.
10:09Not only for the square, for the round, for the money.
10:13I think that thespian, yes, is an actor.
10:15And so, uh, I agree.
10:19And X gets the square!
10:20Yes!
10:21Yes!
10:22And the round, which means you are making $1,000.
10:26Let's go.
10:28This game is moving along.
10:29So let's get right into round two, where it is worth $2,500.
10:35Let's do it!
10:35It's back on you, Laura.
10:36Go ahead.
10:37Pick your star.
10:38Okay.
10:39Paul Scheer.
10:39I'm feeling you.
10:40Paul Scheer!
10:41What's up, Paul?
10:42I'm good.
10:43I've been studying how to play tic-tac-toe for the last year, so I feel like I'm ready for
10:46this.
10:47All right, here we go.
10:48So in 2025, the Ohio State Buckeyes went to the White House, where they were congratulated
10:53on their college football national championship.
10:55What did the vice president do with the trophy?
10:58Um, he broke it.
11:00I think he broke it immediately.
11:01Okay.
11:02I don't know.
11:03You know, I've gone against my gut every time and lost.
11:08But you're so cute.
11:09So I'm just gonna...
11:10I'll take it.
11:11I'm gonna trust you.
11:12All right.
11:12I agree.
11:14Well, trusting that cute face worked because you are correct!
11:17Yes!
11:18Paul was right!
11:20Circle gets the square.
11:21I trust you.
11:21I trust you.
11:22All right, Corey, it's on you.
11:23Go ahead, pick your star.
11:24I think I just have to go with Drew Barrymore.
11:27Drew Barrymore.
11:30All right, Drew, here we go.
11:31In 2024, BBC Wildlife Magazine reported that after humans, the most numerous mammals on
11:38Earth are likely what?
11:40Male podcasters?
11:44Well, I'm gonna go with rats.
11:46Okay.
11:47Corey, do you agree or disagree?
11:50I lived in New York for a little bit.
11:53And I'm gonna agree.
11:56And you would be correct.
11:57It is rats.
11:58Yes!
11:59X gets the square.
12:01What a game.
12:02All right, Laura, it's on you.
12:03Pick your star.
12:04All right, Triumph up there.
12:06Hi.
12:06Oh, no.
12:08Oh, oh, oh!
12:09Woo!
12:10Triumph.
12:10Here we go.
12:11Yes.
12:11In the 1980s, what pro sports team had one player whose first name was Oral, and another
12:17player whose last name was Sax?
12:20Oh, boy.
12:21I don't know, but whatever team had Oral and Sax in the lineup, probably blue.
12:25You'll see.
12:28Okay, we're talking about the team that had Steve Sax and Oral Hershizer, and that team
12:35is the Los Angeles Dodgers.
12:37All right.
12:38These names, for whatever reason, were feeling football to me.
12:42Oral Hershizer?
12:43No, forget it.
12:44Okay.
12:47All right.
12:49I'm just gonna have to agree with Triumph.
12:51All right.
12:53He was right.
12:54So you are correct.
12:55Yes!
12:55Woo!
12:57Yes!
12:58Circle gets the square, so it is anyone's game right now.
13:01It's time for a quick break.
13:03More Hollywood Squares when we return.
13:12Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
13:14Corey banked $1,000 in that first round, but if Laura can take round two, you'll win
13:19$2,500 and take the lead.
13:21All right.
13:22Let's jump back into the game, Corey.
13:23So you go ahead and pick your star.
13:25I'm gonna go with the person that I need to block this one.
13:27Tig Notaro.
13:28Tig Notaro.
13:30The notorious E.I.G.
13:32Here we go.
13:33In 2025, researchers in Western Africa discovered that chimpanzees in the wild also enjoy what
13:39activity that, in the U.S., is restricted to adults age 21 and over?
13:44Mmm.
13:46Calf implants.
13:48What?
13:49By the way, that was a thing.
13:51I know.
13:52That's why I said it.
14:00The answer is, um, chewing tobacco.
14:04All right.
14:04Corey, I do remember hearing some study about how animals will sometimes eat, like, rotten
14:10fruit that becomes alcoholic.
14:11I think it's that, so I'm gonna disagree.
14:15Wow.
14:16Well, um, you know what you're talking about, because you are correct!
14:21X gets the square in the block.
14:23All right, Laura, it's on you.
14:24Well, I'm gonna go with Michelle for the block.
14:27Michelle for the block.
14:28All right.
14:29Woo!
14:30Here we go.
14:31In 2020, country trio, the Dixie Chicks, changed their name to what?
14:36Oh, I know this.
14:41You giving her questions about Africa, you giving me questions about the Dixie Chicks.
14:45You really messed this up!
14:48Okay, question one more time, please.
14:50And read it just more slowly, please.
14:53Read it sexy.
14:54Okay, I got you.
14:55You ready?
14:55You looking me in the eyes?
14:56Yeah, yeah.
14:56I'm looking.
14:57Here we go.
14:59In 2020, country trio, the Dixie Chicks, changed its name to what?
15:09Wait a minute!
15:11Wait a minute!
15:12Wait a minute!
15:12Wait a minute!
15:13I was just following directions.
15:15Hey!
15:16What am I, chopped liver?
15:17Give me a question!
15:18I don't want a question.
15:22Um, I actually remember this time.
15:24I do believe they just changed it to the Chicks.
15:27Okay, Laura.
15:27This is big because you need the square.
15:29It is big.
15:30And you need the block.
15:31My memory of this is that they wanted to separate themselves from Dixie.
15:36So I'm gonna agree.
15:39And you would be correct.
15:41It is the Chicks!
15:42Which means circle gets the square in the block.
15:45It's on you, Cory.
15:46Go ahead.
15:47Pick your star.
15:48Okay.
15:49A hero of mine and a fellow San Diegan, Mr. Tony Hawk.
15:52Tony Hawk!
15:53The Latin!
15:54Boom!
15:54Yeah.
15:55Stay classy!
15:57You ready to go?
15:58Yeah, I've been ready.
15:59I've been sitting here.
16:00I'm like stuck in this box.
16:02Here we go.
16:02The trendy.
16:04Radurin facial procedure involves injections of sperm from what animal?
16:09Oh, please don't let it be a hawk.
16:15Um, if memory serves, it is from a fish, salmon.
16:22Cory, do you agree or disagree?
16:23I have no idea.
16:26But I started skateboarding because Tony Hawk skateboarded.
16:29Right.
16:30Aw.
16:31I trusted you then.
16:32I'll trust you now.
16:32I agree.
16:35And you would be correct.
16:37Yes!
16:38It is salmon.
16:39X gets the square.
16:41Some people like the cucumbers on the eyes.
16:44Oh!
16:46That right there, that means time is up.
16:49What?
16:49So what we are going to do, we are going to give you 500 bucks for each square that you
16:53have,
16:54which means Laura, you have a total of 1,500 bucks.
16:57You are not going home empty handed.
16:59Thank you so much.
17:00Well done, Laura.
17:01Cory, you have a total of $2,500, which means you are going to the bonus round.
17:07Yes!
17:07And when we come back, Cory is going to have a chance at $25,000.
17:20Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
17:22Cory has racked up a cool 2,500 bucks.
17:26That's right.
17:27But now it is time to play the bonus round, where you will have a chance at winning an additional
17:32$25,000.
17:36Cory, any idea what you would do with all of that cash?
17:39Growing up, I have two moms. They had what they called their big lesbian truck.
17:43I know about those.
17:45Yeah.
17:46I have gay friends.
17:50They would drive me around in this truck, and it's super nostalgic, and I think that if I won the
17:54money,
17:54I'd buy a lesbian truck of my own.
17:56Nice.
17:57Nice.
17:58We're all rooting for that.
17:59All right.
18:00Here is how the bonus round works.
18:01You are going to have 60 seconds.
18:03I will read a statement about each star.
18:05All you have to do is agree or disagree.
18:08For every one that you get correct, you will earn that square.
18:11Now, every star up there has an envelope, but only one of them holds a card worth $25,000.
18:18Okay.
18:21All right.
