Great show there’s not to many good game shows anymore sad to see this one gone
Jane says
No no no no no!!! I Love this show! Unbelievable, I see all the REALLY STUPID REALITY SHOWS aren’t cancelled. Our country’s viewing audience is getting more and more DUMB every year. It’s pathetic.
Jane says
How do you get 2 DAYTIME EMMYS and STILL GET CANCELLED?????????
Musial says
I totally agree. Why don’t they get rid of Steve Harvey on Family Feud, who I can’t stand, as he thinks he knows everything & sometimes rolls his eyes at the players answers, & most of the time the contestants are right & Harvey is wrong.
Helga Ganguly says

I’m sorry to see this talented man’s show cancelled.
There has to be a vehicle for him on network TV.
His late night show was very entertaining and funny.
This show was good. But the secret to the success it did have.
Was Craig Ferguson!
Karen says
What else can be said, accept this is a stupid decision!!! Hell. You just came out w a game board addition to play at home…..And to get awards for this show….what went wrong???? Maybe another station can pick it up…..
BAD!!!

Judd says
Well the goes the reason for watching any daytime tv. More time for other things that don’t involve seeing products advertised.
Dee says
Celebrity Name Game aired on a real oddball channel at weird hours of the day and night. We used to record it in order not to miss it. It was not the show, it was how it was promoted and marketed. Craig deserved better.
Carol says
What oddball channel?! Mine was on CBS!
Nancy F says
Powers that be listed glowing comments about the show & Craig Ferguson…so why cancel the show??? Ridiculous to lose a fun & entertaining show…such a shame!!!
Patty Dipippa says
I can’t believe this show is cancelled. It’s a great show that we watch with the family. Love Craig Ferguson. His late night TV show was great also. So funny after a long day, was something to look forward to. Very sad.

The TV gods that cancelled this should be put on the survivor island and forgotten about. It makes no sense to cancel a successful show. My wife and I really enjoyed watching it, even the reruns. Why don’t you Cancellers rethink this whole thing and bring the show back. Give Craig a raise and follow the model to do more entertaining shows.
Marilyn says
Please bring this show back! It is a bright spot in my day and I enjoy watching it . Craig Ferguson is extremely good at hosting the show and I think you need to give this another thought. Please bring back Celebrity Name Game!!!!!!!!!!!!
Linda says
Whoever decided to cancel this show should really give their head a shake and a kick in their behind..Makes NO sense at all! Watched this show faithfully and now tape all the reruns and don’t mind watching them again, There are so many lame shows…why cancel an award winner????
