Poker impregnates Playboy TV
If you could create your own poker game to put on TV, who would you invite to the felt? Celebrities? Centerfolds? Poker stars?
How about Norm MacDonald, Artie Lange, Dave Attell, Jeffrey Ross, Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh, Jennifer Tilly and Phil Laak?
Would you include Playboy Playmates Brande Roderick (2001 Playmate of the year), Deanna Brooks, Stacy Fuson and Andrea Lowell?
Thanks to being the co-creator of the Simpsons, Sam Simon is one ridiculously wealthy man.
And one of the ways he's been known to enjoy his money has been by spreading a legendary home poker game.
Celebs, models, some of the world's raunchiest and funniest comedians and world-class poker players have all been known to frequent the game, and he'll apparently invite anyone who won't get upset after being called a ****ing *****t **** *****r for winning a pot.
In fact, Simon's home game became so legendary (and not necessarily for the poker) that the execs at Playboy TV phoned him up and asked him to film "Sam's Game" for the network.
"The stakes aren't the biggest, the players aren't the best, but the game is definitely the funniest," Simon said.
"I've spent years in development to try to get shows on the air. When a network calls and says, 'We want to shoot this,' the answer is yes."
A look at the action:
The show is filmed in "Hef's exclusive Sky Villa" at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas and premiered last night; look for episode 2 next Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern & Pacific.

2009-09-03Need to change format. Get rid of all the old guys trying to be cool(Norm McDonald,Artie Lang,etc) trying to be "Cool" by using the F-Bomb every other word. This show would be much better served, and uphold Playboy's image, by surrounding Sam, with topless starlets. Maybe you could convince Jennifer Tilly into baring those ta tas. There halfway out most of the time anyway. I think a great addition would be Jolina Jensen, Jennifer Love Hewitt,Shannon Tweed,Demi Moore,Jennifer Nettles(Sugarland). Seriously, the current show is long and boring. The card playing is less than average, and the entertainment factor is zero. Sam has no personality, and was better suited behind the scenes at the Simpsons.

2009-06-13I can see why they picked part 3 to show. So the girl bends over, If I want to see sex ill go to redtube.com, this is just terrible. Can't we just enjoy poker for poker. Not even the least bit humorous.
