Bravo's original series "Celebrity Poker Showdown" premieres its eighth season in a new city, with a new host, and a brand new crop of celebrities ready to go 'all in' for a game of high stakes Texas Hold 'Em. Nine-time World Series of Poker winner Phil Hellmuth joins host Dave Foley on "Celebrity Poker Showdown" and provides colorful commentary and insight into the poker hands played by guest celebrities Christopher Meloni, Jason Alexander, Macy Gray, Jorge Garcia, Fred Savage, Jennifer Tilly and Michael Ian Black. They each compete for a one million dollar prize pool to be donated to Hurricane Katrina charities.
Filmed in front of a live audience, each episode of "Celebrity Poker Showdown" features five celebrities competing against each other for the chance to win thousands to donate to the charity of their choice. Each week on "Celebrity Poker Showdown," a new group of celebrities meet at the table to go head to head until only one remains. The winner from each week's game on "Celebrity Poker Showdown" will advance to the championship sixth game. To date, "Celebrity Poker Showdown" has given away $2,450,000 to charities around the world. All celebrities will be playing for charities benefiting victims of Hurricane Katrina.
"Celebrity Poker Showdown" is produced by Picture This Television in association with Bravo. Marcia Mul? and Bryan Scott are the executive producers. PartyPoker.net is the official sponsor of "Celebrity Poker Showdown."
