How to Play Hollywood Squares

Hollywood Squares is a TV game show where two contestants play tic-tac-toe. The game board was made up of celebrities. The show ran from 1966 to 1981 and was revived on three different occasions--from 1983 to 1984, 1986 to 1989 and 1998 to 2004. The following will tell you how to play Hollywood Squares.
