Indulging my puzzle habit, I'm watching (skimming) Hollywood Game Night, and am slightly astounded to discover how long NBC has been incubating these episodes. Two of the celebs promoted their latest projects -- a TV show and a movie from 2018. I wonder how long it'll be before they air a show featuring somebody who has already died.

I seem to recall Paul Lynde lived a lot longer on the Hollywood Squares than he did in real life.

That happened on Thursday night. The central character (if they use that term anymore in what has become a comedy show built around Anthony Anderson's mother and the panel punished for not figuring out who the real person is) in the last round of "To Tell the Truth" was the songwriter Allee Willis, who died back--uh, Do you remember/The 24th of December... Of course, there was a "in memoriam" graphic added at the end, but still...

Wikipedia (by way of The Futon Critic) supposes that we’re still in Season 6 of “Hollywood Game Night,” which premiered in November 2018 and will end two weeks hence.

Not really. He returned to "Hollywood Squares" after a year off (IIRC, fired for general unpleasantness) for the original version's last syndication season taped in the summer of 1980 and aired into the summer of 1981. None of the original episodes were repeated until Game Show Network started showing them in 2000 or so--18 years after his death in 1982.

Kevin might have been thinking of Cliff Arquette, a.k.a. Charley Weaver — he died in September 1974, and would have been seen on the syndicated nighttime “Hollywood Squares” for months afterward, thanks in particular to the “bicycling” method of distribution.

I think I broached this a day too soon. Tonight's "new" Whose Line included what played as contemporary references to the Republican debates and the presidential election. (And Wayne Brady looked decidedly younger than expected.)

I'll have to watch tonight's episode on VOD, but I noticed it's described as 'Jonathan Mangum 6' on the CW website. That's relevant because episodes 5 and 7 featuring Magnum aired last year, according to epguides.com.
If their information is correct, next week's 'new' episode with Greg Proops is 3 in the series. Episode 5 aired earlier this year.
My sense is that Whose Line banks episodes always. Ryan Stiles lives in Washington state, and Wayne Brady has a full schedule outside of "Deal" and theater gigs. Add to that the time involved in plucking episodes out of lengthy taping sessions, and I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

The copyright on this episode is 2019. Of course, it could have been recorded much earlier.
As an aside, my cable VOD originally had a *different* Jonathan Magnum episode on instead of what aired last night.
