Celebrity Name That Tune episode Bring The Funny aired at 8pm on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 on Fox, with Tony Award-winner Jane Krakowski as its host.

Randy Jackson was also on the scene in the episode – more on his involvement later.

It saw actor and comedian Andy Richter go head to head with actress and author Holly Robinson Peete; actor/comedian Michael Ian Black took on actress Melissa Peterman. 

Who was the host of Celebrity Name That Tune on February 8, 2023?

Jane Krakowski was the host of the Celebrity Name That Tune episode which aired on February 8, 2023.

Born October 1968, she is 54 years old at time of publication.

She’s an American actress, comedian and singer best known for her starring role in NBC satirical comedy 30 Rock. She played Jenna Maroney from 2006 to 2013, and then again in 2020.

Krakowski, born Krajkowski in Parsippany, New Jersey, was also in Ally McBeal (from 1997 to 2002), Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Ice Age, Pixels and The Willoughbys.

Was Randy Jackson in the Celebrity Name That Tune studio too?

Yes, he was the band leader. Both Randy Jackson and Jane Krakowski have been with Name That Tune since Fox rebooted it in late 2020/early 2021.

“We’re thrilled to bring the iconic musical game show Name That Tune back to television,” the Hollywood Reporter quotes Fox Entertainment’s Rob Wade as saying, at the time. 

“With the captivating Jane Krakowski as host alongside band leader Randy Jackson the Big Dawg himself, this surely will be a harmonious pairing,” he said.

The revival premiered on January 6, 2021. Krakowski said a reason she wanted to host Name That Tune was to perform in front of a live audience.

Who were Wednesday’s contestants?

Those joining host Jane Krakowski and band leader Randy Jackson in the Celebrity Name That Tune studio yesterday were Holly Robinson Peete, Andy Richter, Melissa Peterman and Michael Ian Black.

You may recognize Robinson Peete from Fox police drama 21 Jump Street or as a former co-host on CBS’ The Talk.

Richter, meanwhile, is Conan O’Brien’s sidekick and the voice of Mort in the Madagascar film franchise; Peterman played Brenda Sparks in The Big Bang Theory spinoff series Young Sheldon; and Ian Black changed his name from Schwartz (meaning “black” in German). He did so to avoid people confusing him with fellow actor Mike Schwartz
