'Poker' battle
The Game Show Network is turning to a couple of radio voices to help fight the war between the sexes, poker style.
Former MTV VJ and radio personality Kennedy and syndicated talker Tom Leykis will host the new GSN show "Poker Royale: Battle of the Sexes," Associated Press reports.
The latest twist in the trend of televised card-playing is to match some of the world's best male and female poker players against each other in a tournament. Paul Wolfe and Greg "Fossilman" Raymer are on the men's team, and Kathy Liebert and Evelyn Ng are among the female players.
Poker player Robert Williamson III will be the color commentator. The series debuts Jan. 21.
"There's a real ongoing debate in the poker world as to whether the women are as good as the men," Ian Valentine, GSN programming executive, told AP. "We sit our viewers right at the table to watch the play and hear the banter."
Green Day on Daly
Punk rockers Green Day are set to crank out their nine-minute concept song "Jesus of Suburbia" tonight on "Last Call With Carson Daly."
The song's network debut will air at 1:35 a.m. on NBC.
The cut comes from the band's Grammy-nominated album "American Idiot," a celebrated swipe against the current administration.
