Title: Trebek to play Celebrity Poker
Post by: Matt Ottinger on June 04, 2005, 12:12:41 AM
Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown, a guilty pleasure for me and, from what I understand, some of you, will return for a new set of shows on August 18th.  USA TODAY reports that some of the stars this time around will be Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Vartan and Alex Trebek.  I haven't found a complete list of stars for this set, but Steven Culp (Rex of Desperate Housewives) said that he recently taped an episode along with other actors from that series.

Yup, count me among CPS viewers.  I wonder if Robert Thompson, the tournament director, will tell Alex he has to call/fold/raise in the form of a question.  :)

Seriously, thanks for the note.

They've been getting pretty big name people the past few seasons here.  Hopefully it keeps up.  By the way, for anyone that cares, they taped two seasons of it, so we should be getting 12 new episodes unless some format change was made, which I doubt.

Did Trebek ever host a show called "Wow, These Jokes Are Stupid?"

(My firstborn child if they can get Darryl Hammond (as Sean Connery, of course) at the same table as Alex. :))

Not by himself.  "Malcolm" co-hosted.

I hope for his sake that he doesn't lose his "Concentration".  But, "To Tell The Truth", I don't think he will.

And hopefully he won't do the "M'Ama Non M'Ama" scenario with the cards if he starts running outta chips. ;-)

Apparently you do , since you keep trying to play the 'nyah nyah I don't care what you think' card.

You're not funny. It's the only consistent thing you've provided around here, right up there with Iris not making grammatical sense, Zach nitpicking every little bit of minutia, Witch being, well, witch, and so forth.

Great company you've got there.

I might have that company.....oh well, so be it.

If you're so sick and tired of seeing my jokes, put me on ignore and quit yer bitching.  This ain't the last attempt at these so called "jokes" you'll see outta me.

Good attitude if you don't want any friends around here, but why even try if you're just talking to yourself?

Bob,

I say this as a friend.  There was absolutely no humor in that.  Heck, it doesn't even make sense.  Please quit while you're ahead.

Mike and I have been friends with Bob for awhile.  Heck, who do you think gave me the name Game Show Ultraplex?  Yeah, it was Bob.  Your retort to Mike was uncalled for.

Ok ok, so it was a bad joke with no humor.

I apologize for going a lil' too far there.........I was in a bad mood (still, no excuse).  I ain't afraid to put someone on my ignore list, although it does me no good whatsoever that I'm saying this.

I might not make many friends here......but for those that wanna nitpick about my "attempted" jokes.......you won't like my comeback.  I'll try to stop, but I ain't making promises.

Anywho, let's get back to topic and try to forget that this never happened.

Trebek might kick ass when he plays.  He looks like he's got a good poker face.......he's got a good shot at doing pretty well.

Nor is it terribly relevant to the matter at hand. You go and ignore anyone you want.

And if you wanna keep making "attempts" at humor, you won't like mine. So feel free to exercise that ol' ignore list. :)
