There’s a new game show in town and this one pays homage to the much loved classic, Hollywood Squares.

Hosted by actor and comedian DC Young Fly, Celebrity Squares is a modern twist on the classic game show format featuring Black pop culture trivia. Airing Mondays at 11 PM ET/ 10 CT on VH1, 

Celebrity Squares brings cultural icons together for 20 fun and spontaneous half-hour episodes. Celebrity guests include Babyface, Bobby Brown, Tiffany Haddish, Kirk Franklin, Bresha Webb, Luenell, Taye Diggs and many more. In each episode, two contestants face off in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, banking cash, and prizes along the way. The player with the most money in their bank at the end of the game will move on to the bonus round for a chance to win a $10,000 cash prize.

Atlanta native DC Young Fly launched his career by garnering a massive following as a content creator. He developed his brand to the true multi-hyphenate that he is today as a comedian, actor, host, producer, VO actor and musician, and was named one of Variety’s coveted 10 Comics to Watch in 2019. Recently starring in the feature film House Party, DC can also be seen in the upcoming Amazon film Candy Cane Lane with Eddie Murphy.

DC has recurred on 50 Cent’s BMF and can also be seen playing the historic ‘Sly Stone’ on season two of BET’s American Soul. DC starred in Universal’s comedy feature, How High 2, and appeared in Almost Christmas, FOX's comedy series Rel, and Grownish on Freeform. DC also brought back MTV’s reboot of TRL and is a two-time host for BET’s Hip Hop Awards alongside his 85 South co-hosts.
