Radio Times review

Sue Perkins is stepping out without comedy partner Mel Giedroyc to host a new comedy panel show. And no, we haven't become terrible writers who forget to tell you what the show is called - Insert Name Here is, in fact, a name game. Perkins picks a name - let's say Paul, or even Mary, for example - and two teams captained by Richard Osman and Josh Widdicombe battle it out with as much wit and wisdom about that name, and the famous people who've shared it. Our money's on Team Osman - he has already proven he's a font of Pointless information.

Kasia Delgado, Radio Times, 4th January 2016

Sue Perkins hosts a new panel show with team captains Richard Osman and Josh Widdicombe. Flanked by fellow funny types and a pair of historians, they argue in favour of notable people, all of whom share a name (who is the best George: Saint, Clooney or from Rainbow?). The panel show genre shows no signs of slowing, but there are positive developments here: a female host; the inclusion of people who know what they're on about; and a format based on a party game that you had forgotten is actually fun.
