Editing Hollywood Squares (section)

====Big money round====
Beginning approximately two months into season four and continuing until the end of that season in June 2002, ''Hollywood Squares'' instituted a new high-stakes round in response to the recent trend of quiz shows offering big cash prizes.<ref>{{cite episode|series=[[E! True Hollywood Story]] |title=Hollywood Squares |number=7–20 |date=March 30, 2003}}</ref>

The champion faced a general knowledge trivia round with their choice of any of the nine celebrities. Again, each of the celebrities held envelopes with varying dollar amounts hidden inside, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 (increments of $500). If the champion picked a square that contained more than one person, the champion selected only one person from that square. The champion was given 60 seconds to answer as many multiple-choice questions as possible and was allowed to consult their celebrity partner for help; however, only the champion's answers were accepted. Each correct answer was worth the amount in the envelope, which was revealed at the start of the round.

At the end of the 60 seconds, the champion was given a choice to either quit with the money earned in the round or attempt to go double-or-nothing on an open-ended final question, with the category given to the contestant before they decided to play on.
