It’s well noted in many Hollywood circles that The Simpsons producer Sam Simon holds some of the wildest poker games known to man. Simon’s games are always filled with celebrities, lots of foul language, humor, and hot women. Simon’s poker games have become so interesting that he’s decided to take them to Playboy TV.
The show will be called Sam’s Game and will be held at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas in a swanky lounge setting complete with Playboy Bunny waitresses. In addition to the cool setting and model waitresses, Sam’s Game will also feature many of Simon’s celebrity friends including Artie Lange, David Attell, Jeff Ross, Norm McDonald, Brande Roderick, and Jennifer Tilly.
The addition of Tilly is very interesting because she is Sam Simon’s former wife which should create some extra fireworks on the show. But this definitely makes sense from a poker perspective since Jennifer Tilly has become a professional player in her own right, and has cashed for well over $350k in her career. In addition to Tilly, her husband Phil Laak and Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh will also make appearances on the show in an effort to provide some real poker skill.
Besides the professionals, Simon admits that his games won’t be the best from a playing perspective since he said, “The stakes aren’t the biggest, the players aren’t the best, but the game is definitely the funniest.”
The idea for Sam’s Game came about when Playboy TV caught wind of how entertaining and funny Simon’s games. And Simon was more than happy to oblige to their offer as he stated, “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’.” Simon finished the quite by saying a resounding “Yes”.
Sam’s Game will not edit the language and the comedy is sure to be edgy at the least.
Awesome games site, good work
