“Hollywood Game Night” Returns to NBC with Originals on Sunday, June 7 @ 7PM

The Jane Lynch-hosted series will lead off the night at 7:00/6:00c.

Hollywood Game Night airs on NBC and is hosted by Jane Lynch. 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.

Two teams of four players each (consisting of three celebrities and one contestant) play a series of games. The contestant is the designated captain of the team. In season five, some episodes are “Show Vs. Show” specials, where each team consists of cast members of a specific show. For example, the first episode of season five was Veep vs. The Walking Dead.
