Poker has gotten a considerable amount of exposure lately, thanks to the many poker shows or televised tournaments that kept appearing.

The quality of the game is dictated by the players but also by the hosts, who make sure to provide some more entertaining value to the show. With shows like High Stakes Poker, Poker After Dark or televised events from huge events like the World Series of Poker or the World Poker Tour, the competition is quite tight.

Which host (or pair of hosts) do you consider to be the best for these shows in general? Which of them makes you enjoy the poker show the most? Tell us in the comments.

Please note that this is not a thread about the "We want A.J. Benza back!" topic. We considered him as Gabe Kaplan's co-host since the new co-host is not yet confirmed.

Lon + Norman.

I can't stand Gabe from HSP.


Norman Chad's bad jokes about his ex-wife make my day :f_biggrin:


"I believe they are the Ragin' Cajuns"

the most random and most over-used, but yet bizzarely awesome quote from Norman Chad.

Lon McEachern & Norman Chad make me cringe :(

I seriously can't stand all their poor jokes and all the "beef jerky" ads... yuck.

Gabe and A.J. all the way.

I am wondering for a long time ftw that means ?? Please explain :f_confused:


WSOP announcing is horrible all they do is crack jokes some of which are funny most are stupid and the talk about poker itself is horrendous

I like Ali during the PAD cash games AND he always makes me laugh when he is commenting on the prop bets that go around the table.
"Hellmuth just lit a match to a grand."

I like Gabe from High Stakes Poker and Mike Sexton from WPT because I see value in their comentaries.

WSOP guys, its more for entertainment than for poker education, but format (cut only wow hands) limiting them too. I dont like Normans jokes without respect to other people. Another guy is pretty profesional as host.

Poker After Dark - commentaries have zero value for me to enjoy poker or learn something. On another hand I can focus more on game and comentaries its ok, dont bugging me.

What was interesting when Daniel Negreanu change place with Gabe Caplan in High Stakes Poker.
