Game Show Canceled After Three Seasons
Deadline is reporting that Craig Ferguson is out of a job again. After three seasons in syndication, Celebrity Name Game has been canceled. Debmar-Mercury and FreemantleMedia distribute the series. FreemantleMedia said in a statement, “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.”
The show is currently in its third season after Ferguson won Daytime Emmy Awards for Best Game Show Host for his first and second season.
Since exiting the Late Late Show in 2014, Ferguson went on tour, released an hour special, created and starred in “Join or Die” for the History Channel, hosted three seasons of Celebrity Name Game, and created a pilot for ABC.
