Pointless is OVER! Channel 10 confirms airdate for Celebrity Name Game hosted by Grant Denyer - as it replaces the struggling quiz show By Charlie Coë For Daily Mail Australia Published: 05:12 BST, 8 May 2019 | Updated: 05:12 BST, 8 May 2019 Viewcomments Channel 10 has hammered the final nail in the coffin for Pointless by announcing the airdate for its replacement show, Celebrity Name Game, this week. Celebrity Name Game, which is hosted by Grant Denyer, will debut on Monday, May 13 at 6pm, the time slot formerly occupied by Pointless.

Grant Denyer's new offering Celebrity Name Game will make its debut on Australian screens on May 13, the network has announced Celebrity Name Game is based on a U.S. format created by former Friends actress Courtney Cox and her ex-husband David Arquette. The game show involves two teams of pairs who must guess the names of movies, singers and other characters with the help of a celebrity guest. With less than a week to go until Celebrity Name Game airs, Grant took to Instagram on Tuesday to give the show one final promotional push.

'It's a flat out giggle fest at 6pm to watch and play along. Grab the family, crank it up & crack a rib laughing.' The first season will feature celebrity cameos by Beau Ryan and Courtney Act.
