Same Name is an American reality television series in which an average person swaps lives with a celebrity of the same first and last name. It premiered on July 24, 2011 on CBS. The series received low ratings, and CBS pulled it after four-episodes from its Sunday night lineup.{{cite web|url=http://www.ismyshowcancelled.com/article/2011-08-29/same-name-cancelled-after-four-episodes/|title=Same Name Cancelled After Four Episodes}}

Premise

On the series, two people with the same name switch lives. One person is a well-known celebrity, while the other person is an ordinary individual who simply shares the first and last name of the celebrity.

By the end of the episode, they resume their original lives, and comment how they enjoyed the experience and how they did not.

Promotions

In an episode of CBS' Big Brother 13 (which aired just prior to the show's premiere), the show was promoted during a luxury competition using both the celebrity David Hasselhoff, and the regular-guy David Hasselhoff. The celebrity Hasselhoff later entered the Big Brother house for a cameo appearance.
