Celebrity Poker Showdown returns May 31

by Bob Sassone, posted May 4th 2006 1:11PM

I'm not sure I'm thrilled by this news. Don't get me wrong, I love Celebrity Poker Showdown, but I really liked Phil Gordon. He isn't coming back. Instead, he'll be replaced by poker great Phil Hellmuth, who win join host Dave Foley. Could be interesting though.

The guest lineup looks good for the New Orleans-based eighth season on Bravo (eighth? Oh, yeah, they have more than one a year), so it should be fun:

Game 1: Jorge Garcia, Michael Ian Black, Andrea Martin, Greg Behrendt, and Kim Coles.
Game 2: Jason Alexander, Kevin Sorbo, Bryan Cranston, Jamie Bamber, and Susie Essman.
Game 3: Fred Savage, Jennifer Tilly, Doug E. Doug, Brett Butler, and online tournament winner Ida Siconolfi
Game 4: Jenna Fischer, Mario Cantone, Rocco Dispirito, Jordan Peele, and Keegan-Michael Key.
Game 5: Andy Dick, Macy Gray, Christopher Meloni, Joy Behar, and Robin Tunney.

Will Bravo ever show the episode of the whole west wing gang on celebrity poker again?

I only recently got addicted to celebrity poker showdown after a bout of insomnia. I sure am going to miss Phil Gordon. I am strangely attracted to that tall lanky dorky man.

Looking at the line-ups, I think it's a liberal use of the word "celebrity."

The one with Suzie Essman could be funny, though most of it will probably be bleeped out.

I too hate the poker craze that has swept the nation, but I've also gotten ridiculously addicted to Celebrity Poker show down. Does anyone know the air date for the first game, with Michael Ian Black and Greg Behrendt? That ones gonna be awesome, and I wanna make sure I don't miss it.

Why? because it still gets viewers, I guess the makers chose not to base their decision on your own personal viewing preference. If you hate it so much why bother commenting on it!

Anyway.. I'm definitely gonna catch the Bryan Cranston episode, he was pretty funny last time and now he's with George, Apollo and Hercules. Jorge and Michael Ian Black will probably be pretty good too.
