Hollywood Game Night looks on as contestants play games with such celebrities as Kristin Bell, Rose Byrne, Nick Cannon, Kristin Chenoweth, Minnie Driver, Patricia Heaton, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Amy Poehler, Martin Short and Jason Sudeikis. The series is created by executive producer Sean Hayes. It is produced by Hazy Mill Productions, Mission Control Media and Universal Television.

"Hollywood Game Night allows the audience to take a seat on the couch next to their favorite celebrities and enjoy the pandemonium and exuberance of the colorful cast of celebrities in each episode," said Paul Telegdy, the president of alternative and late night programming at NBC Entertainment. "Jane and her friends know how to throw a party and we’re thrilled viewers have come to play too."
