Celebrity Name Game: Cancelled, No Season Four for Craig Ferguson Game Show

by Cindy McLennan, December 2, 2016

Celebrity Name Game TV show: canceled, no season 4 (canceled or renewed?)

Craig Ferguson’s syndicated Celebrity Name Game TV show has been cancelled. Deadline reports the Courteney Cox and David Arquette executive produced game show will not continue beyond its third season.

A half-hour weekday show, Celebrity Name Game pairs celebrities with contestants who improvise clues to identify as many correct answers as possible in a given time period. The winning team has a chance to win $20,000 in the final round.

Here is more, from Deadline:

“We’ve had a wonderful time producing Celebrity Name Game and we are exceptionally proud of its three seasons in syndication,” said Jennifer Mullin, Co-CEO of FremantleMedia North America. “While we are not renewing in syndication at this time, it is a format we believe in. We are thankful to our loyal audience, our celebrity guests, the incredibly talented Craig Ferguson, our partners at Debmar–Mercury and Coquette, and our crew — whose passion for this series has been unparalleled.”

Celebrity Name Game, which will complete its third season, is not doing too bad in the ratings; it is in the middle of the first-run syndication pack, most recently posting a weekly 1.4 household rating, up 8% and 0.7 in the key women 25-54 demographic. But the numbers were not strong enough to justify another year, which is the case for high-end strips. The first two seasons earned Ferguson two consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards for best game show host.

“We’re incredibly proud of Celebrity Name Game and grateful to the terrific fan base that has supported the show for three seasons,” said Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein, co-presidents of Debmar-Mercury. “We thank everyone who has contributed to its run, including Craig Ferguson, the show’s extraordinary host who received two Daytime Emmy Awards in recognition of his talent, our amazing partners at FremantleMedia North America, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, their creative collaborators and the outstanding production team.”

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Celebrity Name Game TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Sound off, in the comments.

I am very disappointed that this show was cancelled. My husband and I watched it every night, right after Jeopardy. Craig was the best. So funny and entertaining. Loved the guests, the format, etc. A real enjoyable half-hour. I hope it is brought back by Craig eventually. After he won the Emmys, what else do they need to know to keep a talented man on TV. Love and miss you Craig!

I absolutely loved the show. Celebrity Name Game should not have been cancelled. Without it there is nothing to look at on TV between 9am & 10am.
Can they PLEASE bring it back? I love that show!

I wish the general public had more control over what shows need to go and what should stay. Celebrity Name Game was one of those shows I always taped to watch since Craig Ferguson is so entertaining. I will definitely miss watching this great game show.

We enjoyed watching Celebrity Name Game so much. It was our favorite game show. I don’t understand why programs are taken off when so many people watch it daily.
