Everybody loves a holiday episode, so how about one with Ray Romano competing on
Hollywood Game Night. Well that is exactly what you are going to get tonight on NBC at 10p.
Jane Lynch is back for a second season of the show and she has something to celebrate with her celebrity guests. Why it’s Christmas of course. So who is kissing under the mistletoe on tonight’s episode, well it is our first contestants who are also a couple off of the show. The formerly happy couple is supermodel Brooklyn Decker and her husband retired tennis pro Andy Roddick. I say formerly because they are on opposite teams and the claws between the two of them come out when they go against each other. But his saving grace is when he plays Timeline and he has to put the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models in order of the date they were on the cover. Does he get them, including his wife’s cover, in that right order or does he only know when she was on top of the annual magazine that every man can’t wait to get his hands on?
When it comes to the Timeline game, Cheryl Hines will declare that she is really looking forward to filming her nude scene the next day after seeing all those perfect women in bikinis. For some reason, I think she will be able to compete against them just as she does with the other team tonight.
They aren’t the only celebrities on the show tonight, Rachel Bilson is an early Christmas present to her team leader. He said that she was his favorite star, so Jane makes the two of them sit together. A smart move because the two of them have an instant hemistry which helps when playing some of the new games like Movie Mashup and In Other Words, and previous games like Timelime, Smash the Buzzer and How Do You Doo?
How Do You Doo was an instant favorite last year, so how does singer Gavin DeGraw do at it? You will just have to watch to find out.
Finally, there is the always funny Ray Romano who thinks he is the host of the show. If I didn’t love Jane Lynch so much, I would say he should replace her because he is so funny tonight. When it comes to how good of a player he is that is a different story.
Now even though he is not the best at these games, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that everyone is having fun playing the game and we are having fun watching them play!
So if you missed the hot new game show during its summer run, then you can catch it tonight and every Monday night starting on January 20th.
Hollywood Game Night is the perfect show that you can watch with your family and friends and then play a version of it with them after the episode is over. I played How Do You Doo? with my friends and we couldn’t stop laughing, or as they put it they couldn’t stop laughing at me. But that is OK because it was a lot of fun just like HGN!
