Celebrity Name Game

Fast-paced and fun, at times you find yourself wondering how stupid some people can be, but then it makes us feel all the smarter. And whether contestants are truly connecting with their friend and assigned celebrity and getting the answers right from a word or two, or unable to identify Porky Pig by the clue "That's all, folks!", Craig Ferguson is worth the price of admission. He can make any show a party with his quick wit, shameless shenanigans in silly voices and physical comedy. He brings out the best in every celebrity who shows up, they clearly feel comfortable enough to relax and be silly too. Craig isn't mean but can do some good-natured ribbing when someone does something really lame, and you feel like saying "Thank you!" Watch the clips on the show's website and you'll be hooked.

Australian show only.............. Great show, great concept, fun for the whole family, but with Grant DENYER as host, it's brilliant! The show was made for his talents. Well done Grant DENYER and also the fantastic nightly parade of celebrities who get exposure and join in on the laughs. Two thumbs up to you all.

I'm a game show fan since way back when and since there are so few left, I'm saddened that yet another one bites the dust.

True they won't win any Nobel Prizes for this show but it's not about that.

It's cheesy, sometimes-raunchy (usually a couple of bleeps in every episode) game show fun that is one of my guilty pleasures which fill up my DVR.

Bon voyage Craig.

Perhaps you and Mr. Arquette can whip up another game show gem for us to enjoy.

Thanks for the TV fun.

I would have definitely given this a higher score because I think the game itself is fun. It's a combination of other games and the variety makes it fun. The downfall is the nauseating behaviors from both players and host. It seems that the players have been coached into behaving an an overly exaggerated manner to where nobody seems completely authentic. If I want to watch staged acting I can watch reality TV shows but with game shows, cooking competition shows, fashion competition shows, Etc, it's nice to see some real behavior. Trouble is, it can be so difficult to find on American TV when the focus is more on those things that equate to money - thus, you get a massive amount of programs that aren't worth watching.

I would have given this a higher rating if it wasn't for all the noise. The show keeps close track of time through out the show. And there's 4 minutes and 15 seconds of game play during the show. Plus and un-timed (about two minutes) section toward the end that can go very fast as well if the teams scored well in the first two rounds. So you have maybe 6 to seven minutes of game play out of 30 minutes. Thank God they were smart enough to get Craig Ferguson to fill in the rest of the time on the show. Not only does he have to draw as much as he can out of the contestants. Some of the celebrities need some help being entertaining. Craig really makes the show. I record it so i get by some of yelling, clapping, and other loud noise. Craig is an amazingly talented ad-libber; and I look forward to his part of the show every time. It's well worth watching. Especially if you don't mind clapping and wooohoooing.
