AJ Benza replaced by a woman on HSP - Page 3 - Poker Card Room

This must have been misinterpreted. How can GSN wants someone who looks really good in the booth where you never see them apart from the beginning and the opening. GSN maybe is thinking about a sweet little lady like on PAD who introduces everyone - they would never have a bimbo do the commentary guys - use some commonsense.

In the UK, SKY poker have added a new female presenter to their shows who knows nothing about poker and half the show is the other host explaining to her what the hell is going on....

You can't split a comedy duo apart...someone mention Kara Scott....what the f** is a donkament luckbox who presented the very sterile EPT going to add to a cash show...why not replace Gabe with Nenad Medic and we could have the worst show on TV...

They must be desperate. I can't think of one reason why anyone would watch that show in the first place.

Nope. It's true. Yesterday they gave me the bad news. I've been replaced by a chick, after helping them to 5 seasons of No. 1 ratings. Go figure.

That sucks man. I love the dynamic between you and Gabe. (Are you sure he's not behind this?)

At least you'll have more time to work on your tan.

Peace.

This is a crock of ****!!!!

This is why I gave up watching TV years ago

Bad move. The AJ/Gabe rapport has always been excellent, and they were as much the entertainment as what happened at the table. Also, despite what an earlier poster said, I've always thought Benza actually has considerable knowledge of pop culture and gets most of Gabe's references.

Also, wasn't AJ a major player in getting HSP back on our screens for Season 5? I recall a radio interview he did earlier this year, and by all acounts he was a driving force behind it coming back. Beginning of the end of the show now I feel.

Thanks for the memories AJ!
