About CELEBRITY NAME GAME: CELEBRITY NAME GAME is a hilarious game show that combines the best of pop culture with the best of comedy.

Consisting of two competitive speed rounds followed by a third round where Craig Ferguson provides the clues, teams then must face a broad mix of clues and categories ranging from a single letter to a real life tweet from a celebrity as they enter into the final $20,000 round.
