This should be fun to watch. Nice to see the guys having fun and helping others at the same time. Scott in Poker field Affleck was in a poker field that included David Schwimmer, Martin Sheen, Shannon Elizabeth, Tom Green, Scott Stapp, Allison Janney, Don Cheadle and Mimi Rogers Bravo Info Bravo PR: "Celebrity Poker Showdown" HOLLYWOOD HEAVYWEIGHTS LAY THEIR CARDS ON THE TABLE IN BRAVO'S NEW ORIGINAL SERIES 'CELEBRITY POKER SHOWDOWN' HOSTED BY KEVIN POLLAK PLAYERS INCLUDE JACK BLACK, EMILY PROCTER, COOLIO, MARTIN SHEEN, SARAH SILVERMAN AND HANK AZARIA AMONG OTHERS New York, NY - September 24, 2003 - Bravo will take over Las Vegas where twenty-five Hollywood stars will all vie to win the first ever "Celebrity Poker Showdown," a new six-part, one-hour original series hosted by Kevin Pollak airing Tuesdays this Winter, it was announced today by Jeff Gaspin, President, Bravo. "Great celebrity poker games have taken place privately for years and this series offers viewers a rare opportunity to witness a new side of their favorite celebrity," said Gaspin. "'Celebrity Poker Showdown' maintains Bravo's goal of offering a popular concept from a unique point of view, adding to Bravo’s growing original programming slate." "'Celebrity Poker Showdown' is a hip and hilarious hour of television," said Joshua Malina, executive producer and star of “The West Wing." "We're going to take Hollywood's finest and sit them down at a poker table in order to find out if they can bluff as well as they can act." Scheduled to tape before a live audience next month at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, each episode of "Celebrity Poker Showdown" will feature five celebrities competing against each other in a winner takes all game of No Limit Texas Hold 'em poker for the charity of their choice. Each week a new crop of stars will take to the table to challenge their peers. The winner from each week's game will go on to compete in the championship final episode. Viewers will have the inside track on the hands the different players are holding via hidden cameras. They will also be able to hear from the eliminated players, who will watch the remainder of their respective matches, via closed circuit TV. Joining Kevin Pollak ("A Few Good Men," "The Usual Suspects") will be Phil Gordon who will serve as the commentator. Gordon is a world class poker player who has won nearly $1,000,000 in poker tournaments in the last two years including a 4th place finish in the 2001 World Series of Poker and a first place finish in the World Poker Tour: Aruba (professional division) in 2002.
