More details released on 'The CEO Poker Show'

By Lianne Elias

Producers of "The CEO Poker Show," which is currently being shopped around to television networks and cable stations for broadcast, today announced that the series aims to film in fall 2006.

Described as a creative action/documentary show that involves "real CEOs from all walks of life, Fortune 500, Internet, real estate, and hospitality firms," "The CEO Poker Show" will feature CEOs going head-to-head in a series of challenges to win the title of Chairman of America.

Participants will be featured orchestrating high powered business deals in their offices, interacting with their families at home, and performing dangerous stunts in order to outdo their fellow competitors.

"This is a creative series that is under production," says Maria Gomez, executive producer and creator. "We are shopping the series to the networks and cable stations. We are looking for the right fit. Imagine seeing top CEOs battle one another as they take on unique challenges to ultimately become the American Chairman. It is a natural for television. Viewers want to see the Donald Trumps of the world on television battling to the end, win or loose."

Each week, CEOs will take on different challenges as they compete to win that week's event, with one challenge each week taking place at the poker table. The winner of the poker challenge will become the Chairman of Poker that week and will return for the opportunity to win the Chairman of America title during the finale.
