01:53Hi, my name's Amber. I'm from Santa Barbara, California. I make and teach pottery for a living, which means I
02:01get an unreal amount of ghost references.
02:04Mm-hmm. And every time someone thinks it's the first time, they've made the joke, so.
02:08Ah, gotcha.
02:09But, Amber, have you performed a moment like that?
02:12I'll never tell.
02:14Oh!
02:15Oh! Oh, Amber had sex with a ghost!
02:20All right, Chris, tell the stars a little bit about yourself.
02:23Hello, everybody. I'm Chris Gordon. I'm from Hillside, New Jersey. Let's go East Coast.
02:26Okay. I am the chef. My food is inspired by my southern roots and a healthy lifestyle. You catch me
02:32in the kitchen, you'll see me jamming to some tunes, shuffling up some love.
02:37Okay. Baby, let's eat.
02:38All right, let's eat then. All right, we thank you for being here. This is how we play Hollywood Squares.
02:45It is your basic game of tic-tac-toe. You win by getting three squares in a row, or the
02:48first to five squares.
02:50I will ask one of the stars a question. All you have to do is agree or disagree. If you
02:54get it right, you get the square.
02:55If you get it wrong, then that square will go to your opponent. Then at the end of the game,
02:59the player with the most money will go on to our bonus round, where you have a chance at $25
03:04,000.
03:06That's right. $25,000.
03:08But, but, but, but, but wait, there's more. Drew, what else we got?
03:12Well, actually, Nate, I think you're inquiring about the secret square?
03:16Yeah, that's right.
03:16Okay, the secret square stays the same person the whole game, and when you pick it, you get a trip
03:22if you get the answer right.
03:23There you go. That's it.
03:24That's it.
03:26Now, before we get started, let's show the audience at home who that secret square is. All right, let's play
03:32some Hollywood Square!
03:34There it is!
03:36All right, this first round is worth $1,000. Amber, you won the coin toss. Go ahead and pick your
03:41star.
03:42I am going to start with Michelle Buteau.
03:45Michelle Buteau.
03:46Yes!
03:48Hi, Michelle. How are you doing?
03:50Not as good as you. Come on, King of Zamunda. What's going on?
03:54Come on!
03:55Yeah, I'm looking like royalty up here.
03:57You really are. I want to throw rose petals at your face.
04:00Oh!
04:02All right, Michelle, here we go. The largest desert in the world is located on what continent?
04:09Mine, from the waist down. Okay, just kidding.
04:13I like that joke. I understand it.
04:19Okay, I'm going to go ahead and say Africa.
04:22Do you agree or disagree?
04:24That was the first thing that came to my mind, so I am going to agree with Michelle.
04:31It's actually Antarctica.
04:33Oh, no!
04:34So X gets the square. Chris, you're on the board. Go ahead, pick your star.
04:41I am going to start with Drew because she looks so yummy.
04:45Whoa! Hey, now.
04:47All right.
04:47Yo!
04:48Okay, Chris.
04:49I ain't never heard a black man say yummy like that.
04:52That desert's getting wet.
05:00Oh, man. Here we go.
05:03Albert Einstein was famously not a fan of what article of clothing?
05:09Crocs.
05:11He just did not get them.
05:14I'm going to pick socks because it's what feels right.
05:20Do you agree or disagree? I am going to agree.
05:28And you would be correct. It is socks.
05:33X gets the square. Albert Einstein doesn't like them, and I don't either.
05:38Amber, it's on you. Pick your star.
05:41Well, for the block, I'm going to go with Tashina.
05:44That's me.
05:44All right. That's Tashina.
05:46That's me.
05:46Here we go.
05:49All right.
05:49True or false?
05:51Grande is the largest cup size at Starbucks.
05:55Well, no matter what size it is, I know they're going to mess my name up, so.
06:01I'm going to say that is false.
06:03All right. This is big, Amber. You need her for the block. Do you agree or disagree?
06:09I haven't been to Starbucks since middle school.
06:12Whoa.
06:12Why were you drinking coffee in middle school?
06:17I'm going to go with disagree.
06:19Always bet on black, baby.
06:21Okay.
06:22And betting on black is right because...
06:25What?
06:26What?
06:27It was Trenta.
06:28Circle gets the square in the block.
06:30Way to go, Amber. It's back on you, Chris.
06:33I'm going with my favorite principal, Janelle James.
06:35Janelle James.
06:40Thank you, Chris.
06:42Okay. Here's the question.
06:44In the 1800s, ketchup was originally sold as what?
06:49Blush.
06:51Impossible beauty standards, even in the 1800s is what I'm going to go with. Yes.
06:57Paint.
07:00Do you agree or disagree?
07:02I'm going to disagree.
07:04Wow, Chris.
07:06I thought we had something. I thought we had something.
07:10It's actually medicine, so you would be correct.
07:14I thought we had something.
07:14X wins the square.
07:15Yes, yes, yes.
07:16All right.
07:17This is back and forth.
07:19Amber, it's on you.
07:20Pick your star.
07:22Chris is on a roll.
07:23I'm going to have to go for the block again with Chris Redd.
07:26Okay, Chris Redd for the block.
07:28Hey, what's that?
07:30What's good?
07:31Chris, you ready?
07:32You looking like a band leader over there, dog.
07:36I appreciate that one.
07:40All right, here we go.
07:41Amber needs you.
07:42All right.
07:42In 2024.
07:44Uh-huh.
07:44For the first time, scientists working in a London lab were able to grow a real human what?
07:52I say hort, bro.
07:54You say hort.
07:55I say hort.
07:55You know what I'm saying?
07:56Hort.
07:56You say hort.
07:57I say hort.
07:57Hort.
07:58All right.
07:58Hort.
07:59So Chris is saying hort.
08:01Do you agree or disagree?
08:03The hort really threw me off.
08:05It threw you off.
08:06So my gut is telling me to disagree.
08:10Oh, okay.
08:11Okay.
08:11You know what?
08:12What?
08:13You trusted your gut in your hort.
08:17And you would be right.
08:18The answer was two.
08:22Circle gets the square.
08:24Go ahead, girl.
08:24In the block.
08:26It's still anybody's game, but don't you go anywhere.
08:29More Hollywood Squares when we come back.
08:41Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
08:43Before we get back into the game, let's check in with a few of our stars.
08:46Tig Notaro's in the house.
08:48Give it up.
08:49Tig Notaro in the house.
08:51Tig and I decided today that we are going to co-parent together.
08:56Okay.
08:56Our child will be Douglas, the dog.
09:01All right.
09:02Let's get back into it.
09:03And we are in the middle of a fierce first round.
09:05And just a reminder, the secret square is still on the board.
09:08All right, Chris.
09:09It is on you.
09:10Pick your star.
09:12I'm going with my man Method Man for the win.
09:14Method Man for the win.
09:18All right, man.
09:19You've dealt with all type of pressure.
09:20Being on stages in front of thousands of people.
09:24Do you feel any pressure right now?
09:25Pressure?
09:26Yeah.
09:27I am the pressure.
09:28Oh!
09:29Oh!
09:30Yeah!
09:30Groves it!
09:31Groves it!
09:32You see?
09:33That is the definition of 95.
09:34It's fine.
09:34That's what I'm saying!
09:36I was thinking the same thing!
09:38Hey, man.
09:38I've said that several times, and it don't hit the same.
09:41No, it don't.
09:42It didn't.
09:44All right.
09:45Here we go, Method Man.
09:47Mm-hmm.
09:47Actress Tracee Ellis Ross replied,
09:50because I can, when President Obama asked her why she does what.
09:56Fart in a hot tub.
10:00Uh, I think I know this.
10:02Uh, I would say date younger men.
10:06Okay.
10:06All right.
10:07Chris.
10:07Ooh!
10:08This story sounds familiar, but I don't know if I know the answer.
10:11I'm going to disagree.
10:13You know what?
10:15Method Man was right.
10:17It is date younger men.
10:19So you would be incorrect.
10:21Circle gets the steal.
10:22Amber, it's right back on you.
10:24Okay.
10:25Pick your star.
10:26Who are you going to go for, Amber?
10:28Okay.
10:28I'm going to go with Tig.
10:30You are one of my top favorite comedians.
10:33Oh!
10:34You picked the secret square!
10:38It's Tig.
10:40She's the secret square.
10:42Amber, you're my favorite, um, uh...
10:47Clay maker.
10:49Clay maker.
10:49You're my favorite clay maker.
10:51Pottery.
10:52Pottery maker.
10:53Pottery maker.
10:54Yeah.
10:55Amber, you get this question right, and you will win a trip.
10:58Hey, Drew, where could she be going?
11:00You could go on an Alaskan cruise.
11:04Ooh!
11:06All right, Tig.
11:07Here we go.
11:09Ancient Romans believed many ailments could be cured by bathing in the urine of someone who ate lots of what?
11:17I hope it's not asparagus, because that would be disgusting.
11:23Garlic.
11:24Garlic?
11:25Yeah.
11:26All right.
11:26Amber, this is huge.
11:28We have the round on the line and this Alaskan cruise.
11:32Do you agree or disagree?
11:35I'm going to agree.
11:36Garlic is very medicinal.
11:39Oh, God.
11:40It is actually cabbage.
11:42What?
11:44You blew it, Tig!
11:46You blew it!
11:47X gets the steal in the square, which means you do not get the trip.
11:51I'm going to take you on vacation anyway, Amber.
11:55Me and Drew are going to take you with the dog.
11:58Exactly.
11:58That sounds better.
12:00All right, Chris, it's on you.
12:03I have to go with Paul Scherer for the win.
12:05Paul Scherer for the win.
12:07All right, Paul.
12:08Here we go.
12:10What is the rarest color used on national flags?
12:15All I need is red, white, and blue.
12:18Let's go!
12:18USA!
12:19USA!
12:20No?
12:21Oh, okay.
12:22Hollywood crowd.
12:23Hollywood crowd.
12:25I would say gold.
12:28Chris, for the win.
12:30I think that sounds right.
12:31I'm going to agree.
12:34It's actually purple, which means you are incorrect.
12:37And that also means circle gets the steal.
12:41Whoa.
12:42Listen, it's still anyone's game.
12:44It is time for a quick break.
12:45More Hollywood squares coming right up.
12:49You'll have to pick me.
12:58Welcome back to Hollywood squares.
13:00We are in the middle of a heated first round.
13:02It is back and forth with Chris and Amber.
13:05Yeah.
13:06Amber, it is your turn.
13:07Go ahead and pick your star.
13:09All right.

13:13You better.
13:14Okay.
13:15For you, Amber, I'm going to conjure up a ghost.
13:19The ghost of Bruce Valanche.
13:24Did you say Bruce Valanche?
13:26Bruce Valanche, the legendary Bruce Valanche.
13:28I love a Bruce Valanche reference.
13:32Any other takers?
13:33We've got one.
13:34I enjoy one.
13:36Okay, that's true.
13:38All right, Triumph, here we go.
13:39Here we go.
13:40Amber needs you.
13:40I need Amber.
13:43Butter or olive oil?
13:45In cooking, which typically has the higher smoke point?
13:49Ooh.
13:50Okay, I don't know.
13:51I know the highest smoke point I ever reached
13:55was in 1997 backstage at a Wu-Tang concert with Method Man.
14:01That means, you know, that's the 90s.
14:0490s fine, baby.
14:07Let's get to the answer.
14:09Bruce Valanche, what is he?
14:12Okay, here we go.
14:15It's olive oil.
14:16Amber.
14:17Okay.
14:17For the win, do you agree or disagree?
14:21I do my fair share of cooking.
14:23I'm going to go with olive oil.
14:25I'm going to agree with Triumph.
14:28Oh, gets the square in the round.
14:32She got the square.
14:35Amber with $1,000 in the first round.
14:39And we are on to round two.
14:41This round is worth $2,500.
14:43All right, let's jump back into it.
14:45Chris, it's on you.
14:46Pick your star.
14:47I love Tashina since Little Shop of Horrors,
14:49so I'm going to start here.
14:51That's right, Tashina.
14:52We all love Tashina.
14:54All right, Tashina, here we go.
14:58France, Germany, or Spain.
15:00In which country is it legal to marry a dead person?
15:05Well, whichever country it is,
15:06is I'm not going to those weddings.
15:09So dead people.
15:11Isn't that like necromancy or something like that?
15:13What is that?
15:14Ask Chris.
15:15He knows.
15:16What the hell?
15:17Why would I know that?
15:20Everybody our date is alive.
15:21I thought they were a little dead inside.
15:27Hey-oh.
15:28All right, Tashina.
15:30I'm going to say France.
15:33Chris, do you agree or disagree?
15:36I'm going to disagree.
15:39And you would be incorrect.
15:41She was right.
15:42It is France.
15:44Circle gets the steal.
15:46Unbelievable.
15:46Amber, go ahead.
15:48Pick your star.
15:49I'm going to go for the diagonal with the one and only Drew Barrymore.
15:53Drew Barrymore.
15:54Hi, Amber.
15:56Thank you, Amber.
15:58Here we go, Drew.
16:00In 1964, millions of stickers reading The Beatles Are Coming were plastered all over the U.S.,
16:06showing only what bodily feature of the Fab Four.
16:10Their Norwegian wood.
16:15And they're not going to be painted.
16:16Um, actually, I do believe I have the answer.
16:20Okay.
16:20Which is their hair.
16:21All right.
16:22Because their hair, their famous floppy, moppy hair.
16:25Amber, do you agree or disagree?
16:28Drew, you seem really confident about the floppy, moppy.
16:31I'm going to go with agree.
16:35And you would be correct.
16:37It is their hair.
16:39Circle gets the square.
16:41Yay.
16:44And that sound right there means time is up.
16:48Chris, thank you for being here.
16:50Chris, we love you.
16:52We had fun with you.
16:53Yeah.
16:53We really did.
16:54Five, five, three.
16:56And because we give $500 for each square that you have,
17:00Amber has $2,000, which means you are going to the bonus round.
17:05And when we come back, Amber is going to be playing for $25,000.
17:21Welcome back to Hollywood Squares.
17:23Amber has racked up a full $2,000.
17:26Now it is time to play the bonus round.
17:28Of course, give it up for her, where you will have a chance at winning $25,000.
17:34So Amber, any idea what you would do with all that money?
17:38Yes, I do have an idea.
17:39Okay.
17:40I would buy a kiln.
17:41They're quite pricey.
17:42Okay.
17:42So that I could work from the comfort of my home.
17:45And make some more pottery, right?
17:47And make some pottery, exactly.
17:48That sounds like a plan.
17:49Well, we hope that you can pull that off.
17:50Here is how the bonus round works.
17:52We're going to give you 60 seconds.
17:54I'll read a statement about each star.
17:55All you have to do is agree or disagree.
17:58For everyone that you get right, you will earn that square.
18:01Now, every star up there is holding an envelope.
18:03But only one of them is holding a card worth $25,000.
18:09Okay, Katie.
18:10Let's put 60 seconds on the clock.
18:16Here we go.

19:30I do think there was one lie though.
19:32I'm pretty sure Method Man came up with the name Hootie and the Blowfish.
19:36All right, so here we go.
19:39Stars, show us the money.
19:44Triumph, a little nervous.
19:50All right, Paul.
19:54Michelle.
19:57Drew.
20:01Tashina.

20:06Chris, it is on you.
20:11Oh!
20:12Oh!

20:18I want to see.
20:18Who had it?
20:19Who actually had it?
20:20Was it?
20:21Oh, it was Janelle James who had it.
20:24She could have got you a BBL or something, girl.
20:27But listen, you still are walking away with your earlier earnings of $2,000.
20:32Amazing.
20:33Thank you for joining us, Amber.
20:34You are great.
