It had already been determined that many of the top poker pros in the world would be involved with the show. Now, the show has added one of the funniest comedians alive to host.
"Paul Rodriguez was a natural choice to be the host of The Real Deal. Funny, charismatic, and engaging, he knows how to connect with an audience and keep them on the edge of their seats. With more than twenty years on the comedy circuit, Paul has a huge fan base and we're very excited to add his level of star power to our already exciting ensemble," said Merv Adelson, the Executive Producer of the show.
That ensemble includes Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, and Jennifer Harmon. Other pros such as Scotty Nguyen, Phil Laak, and Gavin Smith will also be involved in the show.
