00:00From Television City in Hollywood, it's Hollywood Square, starring Thomas Lennon, Sarna Gard,
00:12RuPaul, Padma Lakshmi, Pete Holmes, Tiffany Haddish, Whitney Cummings, and our center square,
00:24Drew Barrymore! I'm Joe McHale, we are your Hollywood Squares, and now your host, Nate Burleson!
00:33Yeah! Come on! Welcome to Hollywood Squares! What's up, stars?
00:50Hello to our players. It is good to have you here. And a big hello to our center square, Drew
00:55Barrymore. What's up, baby?
00:59I love you so much, Nate, and I cannot wait to hear what Pete has to say about your outfit.
01:05Yeah, he's already working on it. I'll come to Pete in a little bit.
01:08I do. Nate, Nate, we got to do this now.
01:11Okay, let's get it out the way.
01:13I'm sorry. No, it looks great. I always make fun of Nate's outfit, but today's a little weird for me.
01:20I got to show you.
01:24I think we've all been here.
01:27It's just...
01:29You go to a party, and you're wearing the same thing.
01:34Wait a minute!
01:35We both look like high-ranking members of the Church of Scientology.
01:41May I just point out, this always happens when RuPaul is around.
01:48Everybody on the show loses their mind and starts dressing really fancy.
01:52Look at me. I mean, I'm dressed like lesbian Barbie today out of nowhere.
01:56How dare you? I'm dressed as lesbian Barbie.
02:01Give it up for Pete Holmes. That was amazing.
02:05Now that we have met our stars, let's meet our players.
02:08Sarinda, tell the stars a little bit about yourself.
02:10Sure. My name is Sarinda.
02:12I'm from La Cunada, California.
02:14La Cunada!
02:16Yeah!
02:17I've been a ballroom dancer for 15 years, and in 2018, I won the American Smooth Ballroom National Championship.
02:26Wow!
02:28Ballroom dancing?
02:29What? What? You didn't get into med school?
02:35How did you tell your parents this is what you're going to do?
02:38I got my Ph.D. first.
02:40Oh!
02:41Boom! Good job!
02:43Yes!
02:44Yes!
02:46Yes!
02:47All right, Eric, tell the stars a little bit about yourself.
02:50Hi, guys. I'm Eric Berry.
02:52I'm a barista from Baltimore, Maryland.
02:55Okay, Baltimore.
02:57And I'm so excited to meet all of you, but, Drew, one of my favorite movies is Never Been Kissed.
03:03Whenever I'm feeling sad, I say to myself, I'm not Josie Grosie anymore!
03:08Yes! I'm not Josie Grosie anymore!
03:12Thank you for being here.
03:14Here is how we play Hollywood Squares.
03:16It is your basic game of tic-tac-toe.
03:18You win by getting three squares in a row, or by being the first to five squares.
03:21I'll ask the stars a question.
03:23All you have to do is agree or disagree.
03:26And if you get it right, then you get that square.
03:28But if you get it wrong, that square will go to your opponent.
03:31And at the end of the game, the player with the most money will go on to our bonus round,
03:34where you have a chance at $25,000.
03:38Yes.
03:40But you know what? What else we got, Drew?
03:42We also have memories, because if you pick the secret square and you get the answer right,
03:49you could go on a trip that will stay in your mind forever.
03:53Yeah, Drew's right.
03:54We will send you on an incredible vacation.
03:58I thought you were talking about drugs.
04:00Joel, you're not wrong.
04:02The way I sold that was like, we're going to serve you peyote until you have a phenomenal trip.
04:10All right.
04:11Before we get started, let's show the audience at home who that secret square is.
04:15All right.
04:16Let's play some Hollywood Squares.
04:20This first round is worth $1,000.
04:23Eric, it's on you.
04:24You won the coin toss.
04:25Go ahead.
04:25Pick your star.
04:25Oh, I'm going to start with the beautiful Whitney Cummings.
04:29Oh, my gosh.
04:29Whitney Cummings.
04:31I just, I'm not available.
04:33I'm petting Drew's dog.
04:35All right, Whitney, let's start this off right.
04:37What celebrity has a glam clause in her will that says,
04:41even if she's out of it or can't communicate, she must have her hair, nails, and makeup done.
04:47Okay, is every question going to be about RuPaul or?
04:53Okay.
04:54I believe one of my favorite people on the planet is the answer to this question.
04:59Her name is Mariah Carey.
05:01And the more rumors I hear about her demands, the more I like her.
05:08And I say that with zero judgment, only respect.
05:11All right, Eric.
05:12I like that answer.
05:13And I'm a huge Mariah fan also.
05:15And I know she's a diva, so I'm going to agree.
05:18It is actually Kim Kardashian.
05:22So you are incorrect.
05:24Circle gets the steal.
05:26So if she's on life support, she needs glam support as well?
05:29Exactly, Padma.
05:31I need to put that in my contract.
05:35All right, Sarinda, it's on you.
05:37Pick your star.
05:38I love talk soup.
05:40Joe McHale, it's got to be you.
05:41Joe McHale.
05:42Oh, my God.
05:43You picked the secret square.
05:48Drew will explain what will happen if she gets this right.
05:51You could get a cruise through, ready for this, Padma, Italy.
05:57Italy.
05:57Oh, que bello.
06:00Right?
06:00Amore.
06:01Benissimo.
06:02All right, Joel, here we go.
06:03Here we go.
06:04In 1966, what state was the last to repeal its statewide prohibition law?
06:10Hmm.
06:13Why don't you stop yelling at me, okay?
06:17I'm going to go with Utah.
06:20All right.
06:21Do you agree or disagree with the truths through Italy on the line?
06:24I trust in Joel.
06:26Not a lot of people say that.
06:29I agree.
06:30So you agree.
06:30I agree.
06:32It's actually Mississippi.
06:34Oh!
06:35So you are incorrect.
06:36I'm sorry, Sarinda.
06:38Ex gets the steal.
06:39You will not be going on that trip.
06:41Eric, it's on you.
06:42Go ahead.
06:42Pick your star.
06:43If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else?
06:46I'm going to go with Mother RuPaul.
06:49Mother RuPaul.
06:50Hi, Eric.
06:50Hello.
06:52Hello.
06:53All right.
06:53Here we go.
06:54What measurement is three inches longer on swimmer Michael Phelps that, for most of us,
06:59is equal to our height?
07:02That would be his ding-dong.
07:06I can confirm that.
07:09Oh.
07:10No.
07:10The real answer is his, you know, his wingspan, you know, from doing this.
07:15Okay.
07:16All right.
07:16Eric, do you agree or disagree?
07:18That's a hard one.
07:19So is his.
07:24I'm going to agree.
07:30And you would be correct.
07:32It is wingspan.
07:34Ex gets the square.
07:36Sarinda, back on you.
07:37Pick your star.
07:38Pete Holmes, don't make this weird.
07:41Pete Holmes for the block.
07:43Oh, oh.
07:44Sarinda, bless you.
07:45All right.
07:46The German word, backpfeifengazicht, literally means a face that's begging to be what?
07:54Okay.
07:57Don't do it, Pete.
07:59I've been actually told on a few occasions that I have, like, talking gusiesch, which is
08:04a face that you want to slap.
08:08All right.
08:08Pete does seem really confident about his face, you know, being one to be slapped.
08:14That's true.
08:16I will agree with Pete.
08:18The German word, backpfeifengazicht, literally means a face that's begging to be slapped.
08:26So, Sarinda, you are correct.
08:28Circle gets the square.
08:30Oh, we got a good one cooking.
08:32We are going to take a quick break.
08:34More Hollywood squares when we return.
08:37Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.
08:46Welcome back to Hollywood squares.
08:48Before we get back into the game, let's check in with a few of our stars.
08:52And up at the top row, we have Joe McHale.
08:55You and your next door neighbor, you two are on Fox's Animal Control, right?
08:59We play brothers, yes.
09:00We do.
09:01And this season, we're starting a barbecue.
09:04Oh.
09:04Let's not even talk about the height difference.
09:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no, but I need to stretch my legs for a second.
09:11It's like we're twins.
09:12I see the resemblance.
09:14And on that note, let's get back into it.
09:16We are in the middle of a fierce first round.
09:18Erica, it is on you.
09:19Go ahead, pick your star.
09:21I hope she ready.
09:22Really?
09:24You know what it is.
09:25For the block.
09:26Yes.
09:27What's up, Tim?
09:28She ready.
09:29What's up?
09:29What's up with your name?
09:30You look fantastic.
09:31You know what they say, never trust a woman in animal print because she on the hunt.
09:37So is Eric.
09:38He's on a hunt for this money, so hopefully you can help him out.
09:40I hope I can give it to you, baby.
09:42All right, here we go.
09:43Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
09:49Damn, they we racially profiling zebras now?
09:55Now, I do know a lot about animals, okay?
09:58I'm a zoologist in my mind.
09:59All right.
10:00To me, they seem like they black.
10:02I don't know if that's because I've seen that Madagascar movie.
10:04So I think they black with white stripes.
10:07This is for the block, Eric.
10:08Do you agree or disagree?
10:09I do watch a lot of Animal Planet, so I'm going to agree with Tiffany.
10:13Because I'm right.
10:14I know black when I see it.
10:17All right, Eric.
10:19They are black with white stripes.
10:23Eric gets the block.
10:24Go ahead and put the X up there.
10:25I guess Tiffany is a zoologist.
10:27They have to be black to protect them from the sun and from predators.
10:31That's right.
10:31From predators, white men.
10:33Look.
10:37Sarinda, it's on you.
10:39Pick your star.
10:40Zarna tells it like it is, so I would like to go with her.
10:43Zarna.
10:44Okay.
10:45Let's go.
10:46Here we go.
10:47For part of 2025, what country rebranded one of its airports to Hello Kitty Airport?
10:54My brain immediately went to Japan, so I'm going to say Japan.
10:59All right.
11:00Sarinda, do you agree or disagree?
11:01Well, Hello Kitty was invented in Japan, so that would make sense.
11:07PhD coming through.
11:09I love it.
11:10That was not part of the curriculum.
11:14But, Zarna, I will agree with you.
11:18She's here to tell the truth, and she did again.
11:20It is Japan.
11:22Circle gets the square.
11:23Yes!
11:25Way to go.
11:25Sarinda.
11:26Erica saw you.
11:27Go ahead.
11:28Pick your star.
11:29Drew Barrymore for the block.
11:32Drew Barrymore for the block.
11:34All right, Drew, here we go.
11:35Okay.
11:36Which country has the larger peninsula, Canada or the U.S.?
11:41Peninsula.
11:42Yeah, what is a peninsula?
11:44Because I go to the hotel all the time.
11:48I drew one.
11:50I don't know if you can see it.
11:52That's what a peninsula can look like.
11:55When it's not that happy to see you.
11:57That's right.
12:00It's very much like a .
12:03This is true.
12:04It's attached to the body, but everything around it is water.
12:09By the way, this is what happens when you're homeschooled on movie sets.
12:17Do you need another visual aid?
12:19No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:21Oh, all right, all right.
12:23Sorry.
12:24Okay, Drew.
12:25Which country has the larger peninsula, Canada or the U.S.?
12:30Um, Canada.
12:35Okay, Eric.
12:37I don't know much about Canada or peninsulas, but I do know a lot about that peninsula.
12:42So, I'm going to disagree.
12:51I hope you're right.
12:52I hope I'm right.
12:53So, our Alaska peninsula is larger than Canada's Labrador peninsula, so it's the United States.
13:00You are correct.
13:02X gets the block.
13:05We got a good one going on.
13:07It is time for a quick break.
13:09More Hollywood Squares coming right up.
13:11Because my peninsula is bigger than your peninsula.
13:14I mean, it is a peninsula measuring contest.
13:17Yes.
13:24Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
13:27We are in the middle of a heated round one.
13:30Surrender, it is on you.
13:32Go ahead and pick your star.
13:34Queen of food and queen of doing good, Padma Lakshmi, please.
13:38Padma for the win.
13:41All right, here we go.
13:43Due to high egg prices in 2025, the brand Jet Puffed released a kit for doing what to marshmallows?
13:50You know, there's a lot you can do with marshmallows, Nate.
13:55Are we still talking about food?
13:56Be careful, because his wife will come out here and slap
13:58All right, here we go, here we go, here we go.
14:03Padma.
14:04Deviling them?
14:05All right, Surrender, this is huge.
14:07Not only for the square, for the round, for the money.
14:10I'm going to disagree with her.
14:12Please do.
14:15Oh, gets the square!
14:19You are correct.
14:22It's not deviling them, it's dying them.
14:25That is the end of the first round where Surrender has banked $1,000.
14:30You know what, let's get right into round two.
14:32And round two is worth $2,500.
14:35All right, Eric, it's on you.
14:37Go ahead, pick your star.
14:38I'll start with Pete.
14:39You'll start with Pete.
14:40Oh, thank you.
14:43I'm getting teased by Whitney Cummings, and she's dressed like a pet psychic.
14:50That is true, and I know that your dog doesn't like you.
14:56So.
14:57All right, Pete, here we go.
14:59The shot heard round the world is a well-known phrase that was inspired by what war?
15:06The shot heard round the world.
15:07That's when everybody in Hollywood took their Ozempic at the same time.
15:14This is all through exercise and eating right.
15:18I'm from Lexington, Massachusetts, which is where the shot heard round the world happened,
15:23so I can say with full strength confidence that it's the Revolutionary War.
15:27All right.
15:27I hope you're right.
15:28My dad was a history major, so I hope I make him proud.
15:31I'm going to agree with you, Pete.
15:32They call me the minute man.
15:33I hope you're right.
15:35I hope you're right.
15:36And babe means his wife.
15:37Yes, that's right.
15:38My wife calls me the half-minute man.
15:41All right.
15:42So Pete is saying the Revolutionary War, and you are agreeing with him.
15:45Your dad would be proud.
15:46You are correct.
15:48Oh.
15:48It's the square.
15:51Sarinda, it's on you.
15:53Go ahead.
15:53Pick your star.
15:54I'm going all the way up to the third row.
15:57Zyna, please.
15:58Zyna.
15:59Okay.
15:59Let's do this.
16:01Okay.
16:01Here we go.
16:02With over 23 million downloads, Merlin is a popular app that lets people record and identify
16:07the surrounding sounds of what?
16:09My mind went to kids crying at the spelling bee, but...
16:13No, no.
16:14That's not it.
16:15See, she got it.
16:16Sarinda got it.
16:17Asian people joke.
16:20I'm going to say the sounds of birds.
16:22Do you agree or disagree?
16:23I will agree.
16:25The app is to record and identify birds.
16:29You are correct.
16:30Yes!
16:31Circle gets the square.
16:33All right.
16:34Back to you, Eric.
16:35Go ahead.
16:35Pick your star.
16:36All right.
16:36I'm going to go with Joel.
16:38You're going with Joel McHale.
16:41This.
16:42All right.
16:43Here we go.
16:44On average, how long does it take a ship to pass through the Panama Canal?
16:47From Ocean to Ocean?
16:49Three to five hours or eight to ten hours?
16:52Well, like Pete Holmes, it only takes me 30 seconds.
16:57Uh, I think it's a long way, so I'm going to say eight to ten hours.
17:03All right.
17:03I don't know if I believe that, so I'm going to disagree.
17:08Well, listen, he was right.
17:10It is eight to ten hours, which means you are incorrect.
17:13Circle gets the square on the steal.
17:16Oh, no!
17:17So that sound right there, that means that time is up.
17:20So what we're doing in this round, we are giving you $500 for each square that you have,
17:24which means, Eric, you have a total of $500.
17:27So you're not going home empty-handed.
17:29Thank you, man.
17:29Thank you so much for joining us.
17:31Congratulations.
17:31Thank you for playing.
17:33Surrenda, you have $2,000, which means you are going to our bonus ring.
17:38And when we come back, Surrenda is going to be playing for $25,000.
17:53Welcome back to Hollywood Square.
17:54Surrenda has racked up a cool $2,000, but now it is time to play the bonus round,
17:59where you will have a shot at an additional $25,000.
18:03Yes!
18:05Woo!
18:05Yes!
18:06Surrenda, any idea what you would do with all this money?
18:09Definitely.
18:10I've always dreamed of competing in the biggest ballroom competition in the world,
18:14in Blackpool, England.
18:15And so that $25,000 will help get me onto that dance floor.
18:19Here we go.
18:20We're rooting for that.
18:21Let's make it happen!
18:22We want to see that happen.
18:23Here is how the bonus round works.
18:25You are going to have 60 seconds.
18:26I will read a statement about each star.
18:28All you have to do is agree or disagree.
18:30For everyone that you get correct, you will earn that square.
18:33Now, every star out there has an envelope,
18:35but only one of them is holding one that is worth $25,000.
18:40Yeah!
18:41Okay.
18:42Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
18:47Here we go.
