The Hollywood Squares is a classic television game show that first aired in 1966. The format features a giant tic-tac-toe board with nine celebrity panelists. Contestants answer questions posed to these celebrities, who provide humorous or misleading answers. The goal is to correctly identify whether the celebrity's answer is true or false to win squares on the board. The game is played in rounds, with contestants aiming to get three squares in a row to win. Paul Lynde was one of the most famous regulars on the show, known for his witty remarks. The show became a cultural icon, blending comedy and trivia in an entertaining format.
