It's Hip to Be Squares

Hollywood Squares, that is. Drew Barrymore and Nate Burleson head up an all-star game show's return

In the reboot of the iconic Hollywood Squares, Drew Barrymore who occupies the coveted center spot - does more than think outside the box. "I want to get out and run around! I want to yell to people!" she shared during Us' visit to the L.A. set. And those are just her mild antics on the new game show (CBS, Jan. 9, 8 P.M.). "I'll pull out a hair extension," Barrymore, 49, adds. (We never saw Joan Rivers do that!) "We're here to tip our hat, pay homage to those who have come before us and take this show into the future," says host Nate Burleson, 43. Among the joke-at-theready celebs seated inside a massive tic-tac-toe board: Julie Bowen, Tiffany Haddish, RuPaul and Drew Carey. Here, Barrymore and Burleson take Us into the world of X's and O's.
