Sam's Game was a celebrity poker program on Playboy TV.[1] It featured a line-up of comedians, Playmates, and professional Texas Hold 'Em players, and it was hosted by Simpsons' co-developer, Sam Simon.[2][3]
Format
[edit]Shot at Hugh Hefner's private sky villa at the Palms Resort, the show featured celebrities playing traditional Texas Hold 'Em with their own actual money, as opposed to charity contributions.
Women in Playboy bunny costumes served as the card dealers and cocktail waitresses. A variety of comedians, actresses, professional card players, and ex-Playmates made up the rotating table of players, with Sam Simon being the only constant.
