A hit cable game show has returned to TV after an unexpected hiatus. Name Your Price, on G4, will air its season finale on Thursday, May 26th at 5 pm ET/2:30 pm PT. Despite expected plans, it did not return for its finale on May 19 due to an issue with cast availability.  However, fans will finally get to see the season-ender when it airs this week.

Name Your Price is a fun and outlandish game show helmed by Twitch streamers AustinShow, Will Neff and JustaMinx. The trio presents bizarre items and contestants have to guess their values.
