In a surprising last-minute decision, CBS has postponed the highly anticipated premiere of the Hollywood Squares reboot, originally slated for tonight, due to the devastating wildfires sweeping across Los Angeles. The decision underscores the network's sensitivity to the ongoing crisis and the juxtaposition of lighthearted entertainment with the grim realities facing the community.

Fans will have to wait a little longer, as the game show is now set to debut on Thursday, January 16, at 8 PM ET/PT. This scheduling change reflects CBS's commitment to providing programming that resonates with viewers, especially during challenging times.

Hollywood Squares is a nostalgic game show that first graced television screens in 1966 on NBC and has since evolved through various iterations. Contestants engage in a fun tic-tac-toe game where they must outsmart celebrity guest stars – each square represents a celebrity, and the players must decide if the answers given to questions are correct to secure their spots.

Following its premiere, Hollywood Squares will shift to a new time slot on Wednesdays, starting January 29, as part of CBS Game Night, where it will follow popular shows like The Price Is Right at Night and Raid the Cage. This reboot will be hosted by Nate Burleson of CBS Mornings, with the delightful Drew Barrymore taking on the coveted center square.

As California continues to combat the wildfires, the premiere will serve as a momentary escape for viewers, allowing them to engage in some light-hearted fun while the network remains mindful of the severe challenges facing the local community. Mark your calendars and prepare for a night filled with laughter and nostalgia!
