A Comedy ShowCNG Set sl
As Celebrity Name Game hosted by Craig Ferguson enjoys critical acclaim during its opening week, the website Metro.us talks about what could be the formula for the show’s success: Treating it like a comedy show that happens to have a game going on.

New Corden Film
James CordenFuture Late Late Show host James Corden has had a busy year. Along with hosting his own sports-themed show in the UK, the Brit Awards and appearances on panel shows, he also has big roles in two feature films coming out in the next couple of months. As BBC America’s Anglophenia blog reports, Corden is starring in a film about the life of Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts, a mobile phone salesman who blew away the judges with his operatic voice. The film, called One Chance, hits theaters October 10 and will be previewed on Yahoo Screen September 30. In the other film, he’ll be playing The Baker in the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods, alongside Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp. It will be released on Christmas Day.

‘Name Game’ Crew
The crew of Celebrity Name Game is working behind the scenes to make the show run, but they also know how to have some fun. Craig tweeted this week:

Clearly I don’t keep these people busy enough. Bah! Darn kids & their “having fun at work” behavior.
