Norm McDonald new host of High Stakes Poker - Page 9 - Poker News

I like seeing new players. I've seen Ivey, Dwan and Antonious play plenty.

Also, why don't people think Norm will be able to handle the strat talk? He's been playing poker for years. Actually, he's a huge gambler. A lot of Gabe's strategy commentary was very LOL. I like him, but he said a ton of fishy crap.

Could be great move. Lots of people assumed Daily Show would die when Jon Stewart took over for Kilborn.

My favorite Norm bit. From the Daily Show in 2006 following the death of Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter.

Ah man, I just spent the last half hour watching Norm interviews on Youtube. He and Conan together is so ****ing classic.

Chairman of the B-O-R-E-D

They should just have Conan co host HSP w/ Norm...

If you were referring to my comment about Galfond, I sure didn't like his previous appearances on the show. But that's ok I guess, let's bring Galfond and Robl again no problem. It's only a TV show, no need to get upset about it.

We'll have to hear the kind of humor he uses in the WSOP, now in High Stakes Poker?

Norm MacDonald =/ Norman Chad you dolt!

FWIW I'm extremely disappointed that no one else ITT has pointed this out already.

Stop posting jackburton, you are awful.

HSP won't be the same w/o Dwan, Ivey & PA ripping souls. You wont see any 200k+ bluffs almost getting called by A6 on a KQJx6 board. That said, Norm is a funny ****ing guy and will probably bring the show back to life. I'm more interested in this season than I was in the last...and it will bring along some new players to the game. GL HSP!

When did they start capping the buy-in at 500k?

The buy-in was capped last season.

Barry is part of the show, his name appeared in the top half of the press release, but not mentioned in the list.

GSN's HSP page has some new videos, two of them are about players who won't be on the show.
