With the overwhelming popularity of the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel, and the continued success of the World Series of Poker on ESPN, there will soon be another poker TV series.
This time, the stars are lining up to flop the nut flush.
Bravo is developing a series entitled Celebrity Poker Showdown. It will be hosted by funny-man Kevin Pollack.
The stars have already begun lining up! Jack Black, Coolio, Martin Sheen, Sarah Silverman and Hank Azaria are on the list, among others. Wil Wheaton blogged today that he'd love to join in. If you know a way to help him, drop him a line!
Can you imagine the tension at the table as Coolio holds a pair of aces and Martin Sheen tries to bluff with nothing?
On the other hand, maybe we'll just see a lot of bad poker. Nevertheless, any poker on TV is a good thing!
