Poker Talk Show
So who's going to host the first poker talk show on cable? You know it's coming. Probably on FSN or ESPN. Kind of like Jesse May's little show on cardplayer.com during the WSOP, or Chris Rose's "Best Damn Sports Show." Maybe there's a market for it, maybe it's overkill. But I can see a late night talkshow format, fun to watch, pros come on and talk strategy and be funny, etc. I just got the WPT season 2 DVD and listened to the commentary of two episodes by Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari. It sort of felt like listening to a Howrd Stern broadcast. I also listened to some of Phil Gordon's podcasts and it felt the same way, like a bunch of guys hanging out, cracking jokes and talking shop. If poker continues to boom the way it has been, I see a show like this as an inevitability.
