Celebrity Game Night kicks off with bucket loads of fun and laughs

South Africa’s very own Celebrity Game Night has officially hit the screens as the season premiere of game show kicked off on 28 October.

Celebrity Game Night is based on the Primetime Emmy Award winning series Hollywood Game Night, hosted by Jane Lynch. In each episode, two teams of celebrity guests face-off as they play hilarious and outrageous party games that test pop culture knowledge, acting skills and nerves of steel.

Adding to the atmosphere, the local commission features Anele Mdoda as the host and joining her as team captains are South Africa’s cuddliest comedian, Jason Goliath, and gorgeously gracious actress and presenter, Ayanda Thabethe.

“I’m so excited to host Celebrity Game Night on E! and can’t wait for viewers to join the party! Hanging out with Jason, Ayanda and our top celebrity guests on my sofas is going to be hilariously wild. Let the games begin!” said Mdoda.

Together, they bring audiences bucket loads of fun and laughs as they gather with a group celebrities for an evening of raucous entertainment.

“Be warned – this isn’t a typical game show. Joining Celebrity Game Night as a team captain and trying to wrangle a crowd of stars with Anele and Ayanda is going to be epically entertaining. My team is going to have plenty of laughs – but more importantly, we’re also going to win,” Goliath said.

The season premiere of Celebrity Game Night kicked off with Minnie Dlamini-Jones, Chris Jaftha and Joey Rasdien joining Team Ayanda as they went up against Lorna Maseko, Majozi and Tracey Lange on Team Jason.

“Celebrity Game Night is going to be the hottest A-list ticket in town. If you’ve ever wondered how the rich and famous let their hair down and have a good time…this is the show for you! It’s going to be so much fun I don’t think it will feel like work,” Thabethe said.
