NBC is bringing back Hollywood Game Night, the celebrity competition series that Glee actress Jane Lynch hosted earlier this year. Lynch will be back for a second season, plus a holiday special set to air in December.
The holiday special is slated to premiere on Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. following The Voice, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Comedian Ray Romano, Suburgatory actress Cheryl Hines, country star Gavin DeGraw, Hart of Dixie star Rachel Bilson, tennis player Andy Roddick and his wife, model Brooklyn Decker will appear in the special.
“We have some new games that are great, along with some old games, of course,” Lynch told Entertainment Weekly. The show has two teams with three celebrities and one average person competing for prizes.
Hollywood Game Night is produced by Hazy Mills Productions and production on the 10-episode second season is already underway. The air date for the new season hasn’t been set.
The first season was announced in February and is co-executive produced by Sean Saves The World star Sean Hayes.
NBC, which is desperate for ratings on nights without The Voice, has ordered a slew of holiday specials to air throughout December. These include a Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving special on Nov. 27, an SNL Christmas special on Dec. 4 and a live Sound of Music performance on Dec. 5. Singers Kelly Clarkson and Michael Buble will front specials on Dec. 11 and Dec. 18, respectively.
