A former Detroit Lion is expanding upon his successful television career. Nate Burleson, who played as a wide receiver for the Lions from 2010-2013, will debut next week as host of the latest revival of the legendary game show “Hollywood Squares” on CBS.

Due to the ongoing tragic wildfires in Los Angeles, tonight’s premiere of "Hollywood Squares" on CBS will move to next Thursday, Jan. 16 (at 8 p.m. ET).

A popular game show is making its way back to television. Now hosted by Drew Barrymore and Nate Burleson, “Hollywood Squares” premieres Thursday, Jan. 8, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Hollywood Squares involves two contestants who play tic-tac-toe to win money and prizes. The “board” for the game is a vertical stack of open-faced cubes, each occupied by a celebrity seated at a desk and facing the contestants. The celebrities are asked questions, and the contestants judge the legitimacy of their answers to win the game.

Add “Hollywood Squares” to the list of shows that have been impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. CBS announced it was moving the premiere of its game show revival to Jan. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Originally, the series was set to premiere Thursday.

Burleson and Barrymore have built a bond on the show. He explained: There is this sense of pressure that you feel as a host. When I walk onto the stage and I say my big hello to Drew, there’s this invisible bridge that I create in my mind that I know I can walk over and give her a hug at any moment.
