‘Late Late Show” host Craig Ferguson is spreading his TV wings.
Starting next fall, Ferguson will host a syndicated half-hour game show called “Celebrity Name Game,” developed by ex-“Friends” star Courteney Cox and her former husband, David Arquette.
The show, produced by FremantleMedia North America and Debmar-Mercury (“The Wendy Williams Show,” “Family Feud”), will feature Ferguson teaming with celebrity contestants to identify famous names from all facets of life (including cartoon characters).
It’s the second of Debmar-Mercury’s game shows to feature a talk-show host; “Family Feud” is hosted by Steve Harvey, who also hosts the syndicated “Steve Harvey,” now in its second season.
Ferguson, 51, has hosted “Late Late Show” on CBS since January 2005.
