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 😉
