New Show - I Bet You - Starring Laak and Esfandiari
'I Bet You' captures the pair in the series of competitive but good-natured bets, with Laak and Esfandiari also putting their own money on the line. The episodes will include combinations of 'A,' 'B' or 'C' bets. 'A' bets are the high-dollar items, with examples in early episodes including who makes more tips in an hour after taking bartending lessons, and who is judged as the better performer after learning a routine from theater dance instructors.
'B' bets are the poker-related ideas, with one example being what happens when the two teach poker's finer points poker tips to a pair of dancers from the Olympic Garden Cabaret Club. 'C' bets are the off-the-cuff ideas, such as racing to Danny DeVito's home using a popular Hollywood "Map to the Stars," who's the better panhandler, and who can convince someone to get a tattoo of Antonio's name; it seems that tattoos and prop bets may well a recurring combination in the modern poker world.
At least two other prop-bet concepts have already been announced, one in which Phil and Antonio go roller-derby on each other, and another where the two see who can do the better job coaching a YMCA youth basketball team.
It's all part of 'I Bet You's initial eight-episode run, with the premiere episode airing at 9pm ET/PT on May 7th. Each episode repeats on Wednesday at 10:30pm ET/PT.
