Jane Lynch hosts a series of fun party games on the show, Hollywood Game Night. In the series, two contestants are transported from their everyday lives into a once-in-a-lifetime night of fun and celebration as they play party games with some of their favorite celebrities and compete for the chance to win up to $25,000. After a series of games between two teams, the winning contestant will be able to choose any two celebrities from the episode to help them vie for the final grand prize. On an upcoming episode, Actor Jay Ellis (that we love from HBO’s Insecure) stops by to partake in all the fun! I have a few photos of him participating in what looks like an art game called, “Lil Picassos!” I love his character on Insecure too, good for him, more inside…

This season, Lynch will welcome everyone to her sleek, new beach house, which includes a roomy back yard that allows for even bigger, more active games. In addition to some classic favorites, Jane is introducing several new games, such as “Jane’s Pool Jamz,” in which players identify a song that has been altered from its original recording and then must wade through a ball pit to press the buzzer, and “What’s The Scoop,” in which teammates work together to stack as many oversized ice cream scoops on a giant cone as possible in 90 seconds.
“Hollywood Game Night” is produced by Hazy Mills Productions, Mission Control Media and Universal Television Alternative Studio. Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner, Michael Agbabian, Dwight D. Smith and Michael Binkow are executive producers.
