The series will have a two-episode premiere Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT, followed by a special episode Jan. 19 at 10 p.m. Another new episode will be released Jan. 23 at 8 p.m., before the show moves to Wednesdays at 10 p.m. beginning Jan. 29.

Nate Burleson hosts the revival, which will see contestants pick a square and Burleson ask the corresponding celebrity a question. The contestant chooses to agree or disagree with the response, and wins the square if they correctly guess whether the celebrity got the answer right.

Chaka Khan, Tanner Adell and Whitney Cummings will play in the top row during the Jan. 23 episode at 8 p.m., with Jay Leno, Drew Barrymore and Pete Holmes in the middle, and Patton Oswalt, Nelly and Thomas Lennon on the bottom.

The 8:30 episode on Jan. 23 features Drew Carey, Max Greenfield and Lil Rel Howery on top, Holmes, Barrymore and Bobby Moynihan in the middle, and Nicole Byer, Jeff Dunham and Rita Moreno on the bottom.
