‘Hollywood Squares’ Premiere Delayed a Week by CBS Due to Los Angeles Fires
CBS is postponing tonight’s originally scheduled premiere of “Hollywood Squares” a week due to the wildfires throughout the Los Angeles area. As a result, the show will now bow on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 8 p.m. Et instead.
According to insiders, the decision was made because it didn’t feel appropriate to showcase a lighthearted show featuring celebrities joking with each other at this moment due to the severity of the fires and the number of celebrities who have lost homes in the disaster.
Also, CBS’ Kcbs-tv has been airing wall-to-wall news coverage of the fires and is likely to continue to do so tonight. For the rest of the country, CBS will now air repeats of “George and Mandy’s First Marriage” and “Ghosts” in the 8 p.m. hour.
Drew Barrymore serves as center square of the updated version of “Hollywood Squares,” which CBS first picked up to air last January.
