New Hollywood Squares, TheFirst Aired in 1986 "Join John Davison and your favorite stars!" That was the tagline to the second revival to The Hollywood Squares, the classic celebrity tic-tac-toe game of bluffs. Davidson, a frequent guest celebrity for the original squares, presided over the fun this time around. Two contestants, including a returning champion, competed. In turn, each contestant chooses a celebrity, to which host Davidson read a question. Many of the celebrities gave zany bluffs (joke answers) before coming up with their own answer; sometimes, they also gave a funny explanation. It was up to the contestant to decide whether they would agree or disagree with the celebrity. A correct judgment earned the player their mark in the box, but an incorrect reply meant their opponent got the box. That is, unless it led to tic-tac-toe, for which the contestant had to earn himself. The first player to complete a tic-tac-toe – up-and-down, across or diagonally – won cash, depending on the round ($500 for the first two games, $1,000 for every round thereafter). The second game of each show was the Secret Square game, which awarded a trip. To win the trip, the contestant had to choose that celebrity (up to that point, known only to the home audience), for which Davidson read a special multiple choice question. If the contestant was correct in agreeing or disagreeing, he won the trip. If the "time's up" horn sounded in the middle of a game, each contestant won $200 for every mark on the board. The contestant in the lead was declared champion and got a chance to win a new car. The car round was largely the same as the car round on the 1970s version of Split Second. But to explain The New Hollywood Squares version: The contestant was shown five cars (usually the same make, with five different models available). He/she selected a key and chose a car he thought it would start. He/she was also allowed to pick one celebrity (for good luck) for every day he/she was champion (just like Rick Rosner's first game show Just Men!). If the car started, he/she retired undefeated; otherwise, he/she returned the next day to face a new challenger. Upon a champion's subsequent visits to the bonus round, previously chosen cars were not available to be won; if they returned on Monday, when a new set of cars was available, the least-expensive cars were taken out of consideration. A player competed until defeated, winning the car or staying on the show five days (after which time they automatically won the last remaining car). This show also had 4 car wins in a row, joining Card Sharks (CBS), Hollywood Squares (Bergeron) & Just Men! in that feat!
