That popular show ran for fifteen years. It was resurrected again in the mid 80's with John Davidson as the host, and with JM J. Bullock in the center square. That version ran for four more years. The current Hollywood Squares debuted in 1998, with host Tom Bergeron, and regulars who include Caroline Rhea (of "Sabrina"), comedian Gilbert Gottfried and of course Whoopi (who was responsible for bringing back this modern version of the show).
