Hollywood Game Night is almost back for its new season – but NBC has relocated it to a different night, and with a brand new set!
The series, which is hosted by Jane Lynch, premiered on July 11, 2013. The game follows two contestants who take part in a casual game night with three celebrities each, making the main episode a game between two four-player teams. Five games are played on each episode, with teams accumulating points based on their performance in each of the games. After the fifth game, the contestant on the team with the most points competes in a bonus round with one of the episode’s celebrities. The chosen celebrity plays for a chance to win $10,000 for a charity of his or her choice, while the contestants compete to win $25,000. Previous guests have included Adam Rodriguez, Shiri Appleby, Colton Dunn, Diane Guerrero, Jason Ritter, and Jameela Jamil.
Beginning August 21st, Hollywood Game Night will air on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
