What happens

Celebrity Name Game is an American syndicated game show that premiered on September 22, 2014. Based on the board game Identity Crisis (created by Laura Robinson and Richard Gerrits), the series was developed by Courteney Cox and David Arquette's Coquette Productions and was originally pitched as a primetime series for CBS with Craig Ferguson as host. The series was later picked up by FremantleMedia and Debmar-Mercury as a syndicated series for 2014 with Ferguson, who left The Late Late Show on December 19, 2014, remaining as host as well as an executive producer. The series marked Coquette's first foray into game shows. The show was subsequently renewed for a second season, which premiered on September 21, 2015. Ferguson has won two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game Show Host in 2015 and 2016. He was nominated once again in 2017. On December 2, 2016, the series was cancelled after three seasons. The final episode aired on February 28, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
