Hollywood Squares debuted in 1966 and became, along with The Tonight Show, one of the two shows to be on if you wanted to plug a new movie, show, or book. There are stories of friendships and romances that grew on the show, stories of what happened when the show taped in Puerto Vallarta, Vancouver, and Jamaica. There are stories of The Hollywood Squares' funniest moments and bloopers, including those that never got by the censors.
The book includes a CD of a long-out-of-print album, Zingers from The Hollywood Squares.
Backstage with the Original Hollywood Square is an insider's view of one of the most remarkable television shows of all time.
