Game show selects Costa Mesa woman

A Costa Mesa resident can be seen tapping into her expert

tick-tack-toe skills tonight as a contestant on the televised game show

“Hollywood Squares” at 7:30 p.m. on KCBS-TV Channel 2.

Heather Clancy, a self-employed dog trainer, will test the knowledge

of nine celebrity guests positioned three across and three deep on the

studio-sized tick-tack-toe grid. Her goal is to strategically choose

stars, who are then asked questions by the host. When the answer is

provided, Clancy can agree or disagree. If she is right, her mark goes on

the square.

The first contestant to win three squares in a row or column wins the

game.

Whoopi Goldberg holds the traditional center square position on the

show and will be joined by actress Bo Derek, comedian Gilbert Godfrey,

actor Vivica Fox and actor Seth Peterson, among others.

Clancy said she is most excited to work with Peterson, who stars on

the show “Providence,” because he is a “hottie.”

“And P.S., I’m single,” she said.
