Sam Simon is a name that television fans are likely to recognize because he has been associated with what has been one of the longest running television series of all time. That series, known as The Simpsons, is only bested by soap operas in the category of longevity and for that reason Sam Simon has been a household name for generations in the United States.

He gained further fame in 2007 when he managed to make one of the longest runs of any celebrity player in the World Series of Poker Main Event, eventually finishing in 329th place and ending up with $39,000 as a result of that finish. It was an impressive result for a self-proclaimed amateur of poker and his further brief appearance on High Stakes Poker on the GSN television network made the interest in him increase even further.

Now, people that were interested in seeing more of Sam Simon playing poker will get a chance to take a much closer look through a show that will be airing on Playboy TV. The show is known as Sam’s Game and it will cover the home poker game of Sam Simon and a number of his friends. According to Simon, there will not be high stakes or particularly good players on average, but the people that watch the game will get a lot of laughs out of the antics that happen at the table when the game is going on. That should be enough of a draw for most people because of the fame that Sam Simon already happens to have in pop culture today.

There are many people that are likely to appear on the game, including some of the best poker professionals like Phil Laak and Simon’s former wife Jennifer Tilly, who also happens to be dating Phil Laak at the current moment in time. In addition to that, other amateur poker enthusiasts such as Norm MacDonald will be making appearances on the show, which is designed to simulate the real gaming experience that you would get if you were to head inside and sit down at a table with other players from Sam Simon’s home game.
