Title: New PlayMania host
Post by: Matt Ottinger on October 30, 2006, 12:29:53 AM

As many fans of PlayMania as there seem to be here, I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned.  There is a third host of the call-in show.  Best as I can make out, she got the job by virtue of winning a Shandi Finnessey lookalike contest.

Third host...and HOW long has this show been on the air? That question is half-serious, half-rhetorical.

Well, the show's been on since early April, and we did have a third host for a week (Hannah), but she was canned. Jessica is okay but she's still learning the ropes.

I have to admit I don't see what your point is.  The fact that the show has added a third pretty girl to talk into a camera for a couple of hours doesn't really mean anything one way or the other.  It's certainly not indicative of any backstage trouble or huge production problem.

I'm kinda surprised that a pretty girl wouldn't rather be out on the town at that hour.

You don't get paid to be out on the town.

/wait for it.....

Okay, I misunderstood your post. I thought it was the third initial host, as in a revolving door of hosts. That's why I shouldn't post after midnight. :-P

A pretty girl out on the town really doesn't need any money. She could go out without one red cent to her name and find plenty of guys who would see to it that her glass never goes unfilled.

As much as I dislike the rest of Tom Leykis's schtick, this is one thing he gets right.
