In Season 2 of “Claim to Fame,” which started on Monday, June 26 on ABC, twelve new “nepotism babies” try to keep the names of their famous relatives a secret. This season will be hosted by brothers Kevin Jonas and Franklin Jonas, and it will be bigger and better than the last one. And if the first episode’s epic fall is any indication, it will at least be memorable.
In the first episode of Season 2 of Claim to Fame, the 12 contestants talked about themselves by telling two facts and one lie about a famous relative. The answers had to show how the person was connected to the celebrity, what that person was known for, and their most significant accomplishment. Notably, the people who play the game don’t have to use their real names. In Season 1, players used their nicknames or made up new names. Kevin says that there will be a lot of lies in Season 2.
In the first episode of the second season of Claim to Fame, one contestant’s lies were not as good as what she called “obvious” hints. To say she was sad when she got home would be an understatement. Find out who Carly’s and other players’ famous relatives are in the gallery below, along with our ideas about who the other favourite cousins might be.
This Article Include
Carly Reeves (First Eliminated)
Niece Of Tom Hanks (Rita Wilson’s Sister’s Daughter)!
Carly said that her uncle, a musician who has won an Oscar, was her famous cousin. We thought Carly was lying when she told her uncle was a singer. We bet they were an Oscar-winning star, maybe Tom Hanks or Dustin Hoffman, and we were right!
By marriage, Hanks is her uncle. Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson, is the sister of Carly’s mother. Carly was sure she would watch more than one episode of the show. Hugo (below) kicked her off the set, and she ran off in tears, yelling and crying about the “freakin’ obvious” hint: a bench that looked like the one in Forrest Gump. Carly has been the first contestant sent home this season.
Travis (Second Eliminated)
Son Of Neil Degrasse Tyson!
Travis claimed his celebrity relative is his father, an actor with a Critics Choice Award. We thought he was joking when he said his father was famous. We thought it was his uncle or cousin. Mahershala Ali and Tyler James Williams were the most likely.
Gabriel guessed right in Episode 2 that Neil deGrasse Tyson is Travis’s father. Travis and Jane worked together to figure out who Shayne was before Travis was sent home.
Jane (Third Eliminated)
Jane is Niece Of Dolly Parton!
Jane claimed her father was a Grammy-winning musician. If she lied about how she was connected to Dolly Parton, we thought she might be one of her many nieces. And we were right!
In Episode 3, Jane, Monday, and Shayne work together to figure out a message that Jane and Chris are worried about. The clue had hints like “puppy love” and “Russian,” and Jane thought that one of the hints was about Tennessee. The tip could have been for Jane or Chris, who we still feel is Donny Osmond’s son (see below for more).
Jane was worried that the “puppy love” word referred to Dolly Parton’s “Puppy Love,” the first song she ever put on the charts. Jane was the guesser for the night. She thought Chris was connected to Elvis Presley, which was wrong. She was out of the race because she made a wrong guess. Her real name is Jada Star. Her Aunt Dolly gave her that name, and she showed up in a movie when Jada was kicked off.
Shayne (Fourth Eliminated)
Daughter Of Eddie Murphy!
At the end of Episode 4, Cole surprises Shayne by telling her that her father is the famous actor Eddie Murphy. Cole’s choice “completely surprised” Shayne and most other players felt the same way, especially Shayne’s best friend Monay, who swore revenge right away.
Cole
Relative Of _______?
In Episode 1 Cole says his father is a famous family member. He also says that his “father” is a singer who has won a Grammy. Our Best Guess: Cole is the brother of Alicia Keys..
Chris
Relative Of _______?
Chris claims his celebrity relative is his musician uncle, who has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We think his uncle is John Mayer, who doesn’t have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star. He might also be the son of Donny Osmond.
Episode 3 helped us realize that the Osmond theory is correct. Like Dolly Parton, Osmond is known for a song called “Puppy Love.” Chris thought he was close to being found because of that tip. He also correctly guessed that Jane was connected to Parton, but since he wasn’t the guesser that night, he had no chance to prove it himself.
Karsyn
Relative Of _______?
Karsyn says her uncle is a famous musician who was inducted into the Hall of Fame. She doesn’t say, though, which Hall of Fame. Maybe she’s the daughter of Blake Shelton. In Episode 3 Karsyn’s bottle was pulled, and we saw a prize, an eraser, the minus sign, the letter “E,” a question mark on a face, two record players, the number 4, and a beer in a mug. In Episode 4 Karsyn admitted that her famous relative is into “auto racing,” but she denied to Cole that it’s Jeff Gordon. The group is sure of itself. Does she lie?
Our best guess: We don’t know much about NASCAR, but the group seems pretty sure about Jeff Gordon, so we’ll go with it.
Hugo
Relative Of _______?
Hugo says that his famous grandpa is an athlete who won the Nobel Prize. The part about the athlete is a lie. He might be the grandson of either Al Gore or Jimmy Carter.
Jane had a lot of good ideas before she was taken out of the game. She thought that Carter and Hugo were connected, but she thought Hugo was too young to have a grandfather in his 90s. She didn’t get to see if her idea worked, but maybe more people will start getting it next week.
Our best guess is that it was the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner and former President Jimmy Carter.
Gabriel
Relative Of _______?
Gabriel says that the most famous person in the family is his brother. The brother is an athlete who has won an NAACP Award. We think Gabriel lies when he says the family member is an athlete. Nick Cannon, who has won several NAACP awards, is a non-athlete who might be a good guess.
Gabriel strongly suggests that his relative is a football player. Still, he may have given a big hint when he told Olivia that his “athlete” brother has multiple girlfriends for whom he buys similar jewellery and that all the women are friends. Could that be a subtle nod to how many women Cannon has had babies with?
Monay
Relative Of _______?
Monay says that her father is an athlete who has won an Emmy. He’s actually J.B. Smoove, who has an Emmy but isn’t an athlete. In Episode 3 Monay’s headshot hints were a cloud with a lightning bolt, a fedora, and a chain choker with a pink lock.
Our best guess is that it’s not Steve Harvey, but we’re unsure about anything else.
JR
Relative Of _______?
J.R. says that his brother is a singer and has a ring from the NBA Championship. One of these is different from the other. In Episode 2 it was found out that J.R.’s relative was born in Lithia Springs, Georgia. In Episode 3 two interesting headshot hints, a blue pacifier and a white chef’s hat, were shown. In Episode 4 No significant clues confirmed.
Our best guess is that Lithia Springs could give Lil Nas X away even more than the Forrest Gump bench did for Tom Hanks. (Carly, Carly!)
Olivia
Relative Of _______?
Olivia says her brother has a Razzie Award and is a well-known TV figure. David Muir of ABC News was up for a Razzie. In Episode 3 Olivia’s picture showed three interesting clues: a red cross, yellow aliens on a headband, and gold “Happy New Year” glasses.
Our Best Guess: Still waiting. She is still one of the most significant question marks of the season.
