For me it's a tossup between AJ and Gabe.

Norman Chad is, IMO a tool. He annoy's me to no end with his horrible attempts at comedy. Yes, we all know you suck at marriage, get over it already....
Don't forget about the Rambling Wreck!!! :D

Mike Sexton for me. I think he does quite a good job at it.

Mike Sexton is my favorite, but I like Gabe quite a bit as well. Enjoyed Gabe more when he was with Benza. The one man commentary doesn't work for me at ALL....

I do, sometimes. I really like his commentary.

Norman Chad, for me, is almost reason not to ever watch wsop! Just am tired of his horrible jokes (or maybe the same ones that he repeats over and over). I do kind of like it when he makes Lon stutter...

Kaplan is pretty good.

That guy on The Big Game is really sharp too. (not the color guy, the other one)

Norman Chad definitely needs to get some new lines. Mike Sexton is an easy choice for me.

Mike Sexton.

He really knows how to explain situations. He's a great player as well.

Mike Sexton with Kaplan (who I still picture in my head as Kotter) a very close second. It's a shame that the WSOP with it's large audience has to suffer through Norm Chad's neverending histrionics. I don't think he is a good representative of poker in general.

Norman Chad for sure, I think he's hilarious despite what anyone else thinks. We talked a lot during the WSOP and he became good friends with me but I busted on Day 3 of the Main Event... I think if I had gone a tad deeper he would have tried to get me on TV for a bit.

If we are talking INDIVIDUALS, I would say Kaplan. He is funny and can break down a hand for the advance players.

If we are talking TEAMS, I would say Stapleton/Fricke. Let be clear CC, when you say Stapleton, it is actually Jimmy Fricke doing over 90% of the analysis and 10% of the jokes. Stapleton is doing 10% analysis and 90% jokes. This was said as much PokerRoad or Two Jacks in the Hole by Stapleton himself.

And Vicky Coren is essentially the ONLY female commentator. Maybe of the female selections listed here are hosts, not commentators.

Just for clarification: Who is the best game show host? Not Vanna and not the Barker's Beauties......

That being said, I could look at Ms. Tweeden ALL DAY. But my heart will always be with my girl Shana Hiatt ;)

I know, and it's really more for the jokes that I chose him. If I consider only analysis then it's Haxton, no doubt.

Patty R's avatar is the best as far as I'm concerned! :eek:

No seriously, Norm is the best by far.
