- Quotes
Tom Bergeron: [It is the end of the main game of the show, and it is time count the number of squares each contestant earned in this round] Let's count up our squares. Now Brianna, you have two which gives you a thousand dollars and our thanks for being here on Hollywood Squares.
[shakes hands as audience applauds skeptically and Whoopi Goldberg has a puzzled look on her face, as Brianna's podium shows that she has won another thousand dollars from a previous game]
Tom Bergeron: You look stunned!
[turns to other contestant]
Tom Bergeron: Now Alan, you've added three squares to your total, that gives you...
[off-stage crew begins yelling 'hold it!' and confusion ensues before Bergeron realizes his mistake]
Tom Bergeron: Oh she won!
[bursts into laughter as audience and panelists laugh and applaud]
Tom Bergeron: I guess that Emmy nomination's shot to shit right now!
Enter Henry 'The Fonz' Winkler. Although H2 was his first game show he got involved with, Winkler has done a good job and his brought new life to H2. When Whoopi was center square, she got picked first most of time (99%). The center square still gets picked in the Winkler version but you get different celebrities each week. Bergeron is no longer second fiddle to Goldberg and really does carry the show. Although the front game has cut to accommodate the "How Much You Know about Stars" end game H2 has great energy. The end game is great in which the winning contestant much agree/disagree correctly about statements about the weeks squares within 30 seconds. The more they guess correctly the greater their changes are in winning cars, cash, and trips.
If you have not seen H2 Winkler style, check it out. It's really a 'Square Biz.'
