The trailer also showed that Lynch will be using a new backyard set to welcome her celebrity guests. She introduced one of the game show's new challenges called "Get in My Pants," where the celebrity contestants are required to wear an oversized pair of pants that they will use to catch balls each time the phrase "your pants" will be the answer to a question.
Lynch introduced another silly game called "Turn the Beat Around" where celebrities will race against themselves to play songs in reverse. Also, one of the show's most popular games, "Smash the Buzzer," is also shown to be back with an added twist.
In the trailer, Lynch revealed that all celebrity guests will do everything to win the games.
"I think what resonates with this show is the celebrities are not trying to be anything other than themselves," she stated in the promo. "They come to play; they come to win."
She added that her guests for "Hollywood Game Night" will have a good time in the show.
"They come to have fun, and they know that there's a really strong chance they might end up looking like an idiot and they come anyway," the "Glee" alum stated.
NBC will air the premiere of "Hollywood Game Night" season 5 on Thursday, June 22, at 8 p.m. EDT.
