Is Kapil Sharma's Comeback Game Show Inspired From The American Game Show The Hollywood Squares?
That's what's being discussed in the TV industry and many in the know think that Kapil Sharma's new programme on Sony has borrowed ideas from the American game show The Hollywood Squares
So we have been telling you that Kapil Sharma does not
want to do comedy and has opted for a game show, which will come up on Sony.
The time has now come to tell you what the show might be
about.
Sources say that Kapil's new assignment is heavily
inspired from The Hollywood Squares.
The Hollywood Squares is an American panel game
show[ in which two contestants play tic-tac-toe to win cash and prizes.
The show piloted on NBC in 1965, and the regular series debuted in 1966 on the
same network. The board for the game is a 3 × 3 vertical stack of open-faced
cubes, each occupied by a celebrity seated at a desk and facing the
contestants. The stars are asked questions by the host, and the contestants
judge the truth of their answers to gain squares in the right pattern to win
the game.

Although The Hollywood Squares was a legitimate game
show, the game largely acted as the background for the show's comedy in the
form of joke answers (called "zingers"), often given by the stars
prior to their real answer. The show's writers usually supplied the jokes. In
addition, the stars were given the questions' subjects and bluff (plausible but
incorrect) answers prior to the show. The show was scripted in this sense, but
the gameplay was not. In any case, as original host Peter Marshall would
explain at the beginning of the Secret Square game, the celebrities were
briefed prior to the show to help them with bluff answers, but they otherwise
heard the actual questions for the first time as they were asked on air.
Kapil Sharma Shoots For His Upcoming Game Show
In 2013, TV Guide ranked it at No. 7 in its list of the
60 greatest game shows ever.
Internationally, there are multiple versions under a
variety of names.
Has Sony purchased the rights of THe Hollywood Squares?
Or is it just inspiration? Anyway.

Toh ab dekhna ye hai how close Kapil's new show runs to
The Hollywood Squares. Inspiration zaroor liya hai, chahe woh maane ya naa
maane. Can't blame Kapil if The Hollywood Squares was playing on the minds of
the Creatives. Think of it, most of us are inspired from each other. Herd
mentality ki duniya jo hai. Badal sakenge? Who Knows! Complete originality hai
kahan?
