It’ll be “Hollywood Squares” with a West Virginia twist.

Peter Marshall, a Huntington native who was the original host of the popular television game show “Hollywood Squares,” will be back in West Virginia next week to host a game show about West Virginia music and history. “West Virginia Squares” will be part of Festivall — the ten-day long celebration of arts in Charleston that opens later this week.

Next Monday, June 23, and Tuesday, June 24, at 7 p.m. at the Clay Center, Marshall will lead four segments of the game show with Golden Horseshoe winners sitting in as the contestants.

“They’re young students who, hopefully, know a lot about West Virginia,” said Marshall.

Notable state natives will fill the celebrity squares including John Kruk, former major league ballplayer and current ESPN commentator; Joyce DeWitt, a Wheeling native who played “Janet” on “Three’s Company;” Billy Edd Wheeler, a noted songwriter; Charlie McCoy, a musician; Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr., an “America’s Got Talent” winner; Michael Cervaris, a Tony Award winner and former West Virginia Governor Gaston Caperton.
