8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 8, Episode 3 was a special episode broadcast on 10 March 2016, as part of 8 out of 10 Cats Mash-ups Series 8.

8 Out of 10 Cats regular Jon Richardson was a contestant, along with Alex Brooker who were against acting team captain Johnny Vegas and Sara Pascoe, while Jimmy Carr reprised his role as the host.

The match saw both teams tied with a score of 25 – 25 in an 7-rounder.
