HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT Renewed for Season 6

NBC has ordered more of the delightful game show HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT.

The network has picked up a 13-episode season 6 of Jane Lynch-hosted series. A premiere date (and participating celebrities) are still to be announced. The games can be physical (and the last season expanded to include “backyard” obstacles), ridiculous, but always hilarious.

HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT: Jane Lynch on Season 3’s New Games, Returning Celebrity Players, and More

HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT — one of the most purely enjoyable shows on television — is back for its third season tonight, and it’s “business” as usual for the show’s Emmy-winning host, Jane Lynch.

“That’s what’s great about it: we haven’t changed anything fundamentally, just for the sake of changing it, because it works the way it works,” Lynch told reporters on the show’s set. “[Though] coming up with the new games is always a challenge. And we have more new games this season — we probably won’t even use them all — than we had [total] games the first season. They’re really on their game.”

Among the new additions to the show? A game that features Lynch singing slightly botched song lyrics to the contestants. And though Lynch is no stranger to singing while performing — whether it’s on GLEE or Broadway — she wasn’t the one to push for music to be integrated into her hosting duties.

Backstage at HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT: Anthony Anderson and Yvette Nicole Brown Are Out For Each Other’s Blood

Things get serious on tonight’s HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT: Anthony Anderson and COMMUNITY’s Yvette Nicole Brown — both winners on their previous times on the show — are pitted against each other, and all they want is to be able to claim victory.

“I don’t even know anyone else on the team, I didn’t see [Anderson’s teammates] Gary [Dell’abate] or [WHITE COLLAR star] Tiffani [Thiesen], they don’t exist to me: it’s just Anthony Anderson,” Brown told reporters before taping the show. “And I love Tiffani; I’ve loved her since SAVED BY THE BELL. But Anthony has to go down…I can’t go home without beating this man!”

And Anderson wasn’t playing nice, either.

HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT: Jane Lynch Teases the Holiday Episode

HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT’s second season won’t officially kick off until January 20, 2014, but if you’ve been missing the show (as you should have been), NBC has a treat for you: a special holiday installment this Monday (December 23rd) at 10 PM.

“Well, basically, we have a tree,” HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT host Jane Lynch told reporters on the set of the series last month. “We played our games with some holiday themes here and there. But basically it’s our ‘coming back on the air and feeling festive [episode]’ — we didn’t play any season-specific [games]. We have Rachel Bilson, Andy Roddick, Brooklyn Decker, Ray Romano, [Gavin DeGraw, and Cheryl Hines as the celebrities competing]. [Andy and Brooklyn] are the first couple. We have a lot of couples coming up. They’re on opposite teams.”

And it may be the holiday season, but the HGN contestants won’t be taking it easy — they’re in it to win.

HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT: Jane Lynch on Hosting a Game Show, Competitive Celebs, and More

Summer is the perfect time for fun, enjoyable, fluffy television, and that’s exactly what NBC’s new series, HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT is.

The series, hosted by GLEE’s Jane Lynch, pits two teams — three celebrities and one “civilian” player per team — against each other as they compete in various games created for the competition: trying to describe a TV show in as few words as possible, piecing together a celebrity timeline, identifying a song that has had its words replaced with the word “do,” and many more. And while Lynch doesn’t get to join in on the game-play during the show, she did get to try them out during rehearsals for the show.

“I do love playing the games; I love the games they’ve created,” Lynch told reporters on the set of HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT. “They’re not too intellectually stimulating, they’re all about pop culture…I’m pretty good at them. I’m pretty aggressive and shaming and I’m the person you want on your team, but you do not want to play against.”

For the very-busy Lynch (in addition to GLEE, she also hit Broadway this summer in ANNIE, and did a voice for the first season of the upcoming Fox animated series, MURDER POLICE), the opportunity to host HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT came as a bit of a surprise to her.
