Name That Tune is a show where contestants try to correctly identify the title of the song being played by a live band or orchestra.

The game show originally debuted in 1952 and has been rebooted several times.

The current version of Name That Tune, which returned in 2021, is hosted by Jane Krakowski and Randy Jackson.

The first season of the renewed show saw the participation of ordinary people.

However, when it returned for season 2, all the contestants were celebrities.

And this tradition tended to remain throughout the third season.

However, when Season 4 premiered on June 4, there was a slight adjustment.

Queer Eye’s Karamo Brown and The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe.

Once they won the charity money, the second round began and fans were shocked to see non-famous people behind the podium.

NON-FAMOUS COMPETITORS

Joey was the show’s first non-famous contestant in years.

Valerie is a native of Staten Island, New York and is the Associate Director of Financial Aid.

She ended up winning the game and took home $91,000 in the end.

‘MUCH BETTER!’

Fans thought mixing celebrities with non-famous people made the show much better.
