Mo looks like the lady who Bob was dating after Midge left him on That 70's Show. Same girl?
I don't know if this got mentioned elsewhere, but that Michael Ian Black guy is on all the VH1 "I love the 80's/70's/etc." shows. He's very droll. I like him a lot.
I'm wondering if that is where I recognize him from. I feel like I have a positive memory of seeing him in something, but I just can't place it. I saw Wet Hot American Summer, but I successfully tried to forget that one.
My money is on Peter, with those glasses on in the group photo, he looks like a poker player. Of course I was rooting for Martin last week and he was about as good at poker as my 9 year old is.
Zhora, he's on "Ed" on NBC. He also hosted "Spy TV" for its very short run.
And he was the voice of the pets.com sock puppet.
I can't believe that Nicole won. She looked like she was heading to Losers Lounge first, as she was way low in chips, but she went all in, got back into the game, and ended up winning. Go Nicole!

It definitely was a great comeback. I was glad to see a girl win a round, although I would have rather it be Mo.
There definitely was some better poker playing last night.
Who shot who in the what now?
right, I think the West Wingers were less than stellar as they were "trying" to get people from the same show, moreso than trying to find people who wanted to play poker. Hank Azaria knew what he was doing but he never had a chance with a decent hand. Peter had a really long streak with strong hands, but ended up just missing at the end. Luck was a lady last night. Nicole sure liked her suited blind, but did she ever pull a flush out of it?
