Electrifying actor/comedian DC Young Fly will host the classic trivia game show, Hollywood Squares, but with a modern star-studded twist. Celebrity Squares, which will debut on VH1 this fall, will host a ton of A-list stars answering Black pop culture questions while competing for a chance to take home a cash prize. Participants will face off in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe as they collect cash and prizes along the way. The player with the most money at the end of the game will move on to a bonus round for a chance to win the 10,000 cash prize.
