Why was Celebrity poker canceled?
Phil Gordon mentioned during the Heads-Up Championship that that Phill Helmuth killed Celebrity Poker's ratings, and it was canceled the year that Helmuth took over.
Was Helmuth really that bad as commentator? Or..? |

While the show was amusing to watch at times, it most likely got canned because there are much, much better poker shows to watch on TV.

Watching them trying to be cute and funny while playing like [censored] was nauseating.
Glad its over, cuz I still felt compelled to watch it sometimes. |

[/ QUOTE ] Actually, many BRAVO viewers seemed to really love his nasally informative play-by-play and insight into the playing styles of d-list actors who just finished reading P.G.'s LGB. His combover also looked really stylish. Not sure why the show would have been cancelled... |

If that link changes, it's Episode 5, Segment 1, at around 4:30. |
