Insert Name Here is a British comedy panel game show presented by Sue Perkins. The programme made its debut on BBC Two on 4 January 2016. In each episode two teams of three compete to answer questions about famous people, past and present, who have just one thing in common: they share the same name.[1] The team captains are Josh Widdicombe and Richard Osman.[2] The show was cancelled in February 2020[3] due to low viewership.
