The show will return on Comedy Central UK under the new title <em>Comedy Game Nigh<\/em>t.<\/p>\n<p>The new 10&#215;1-hour season will see comedians Sue Perkins and Guz Khan as team captains. In each episode, they will be joined by special celebrity guests\u2014from Kerry Godliman to Martine McCutcheon, Andrew Maxwell to Andi Oliver, Big Zuu to Clare Balding and Sally Phillips to Sally Lindsay. Together they will go head-to-head in a series of fun, entertaining and comedic games, which will test their pop culture knowledge, acting skills and nerves of steel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Comedy Game Night<\/em> will air later this year on Comedy Central UK and will also repeat on Channel 5 soon after.<\/p>\n<p>Sebastian Cardwell, deputy director of programs at ViacomCBS Networks UK, said, \u201cThe <em>Game Night<\/em> format is fantastically fun with plenty of scope for a larger injection of comedy, so we\u2019re excited to commission the show for our Comedy Central audience. With Liza returning at the helm and brilliant comedic talents Sue and Guz on board, viewers are in for a treat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Will Macdonald, creative director and executive producer at Monkey, commented, \u201cWe\u2019re impossibly excited to be back with a new series of this ridiculously warm and funny show\u2014just what the nation needs! The health and safety of everyone working on our productions, including both talent and crew, remains our top priority. Thanks to the amazing work of the production team and all departments, who have made the show safe to film and have found creative solutions to playing the games, this series is even bigger and better than the first. It\u2019s been great to be back in the studio and we can\u2019t wait for viewers to enjoy Sue and Guz trying to name four types of biscuit before a glitter explosion goes off in their face as much as we did!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedy Central UK has commissioned the hit Game Night format, with Liza Tarbuck returning as host alongside new team captains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1114],"class_list":["post-7735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-comedy-central-uk","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
