Dick Schiff sticks it to 'em : on the 'West Wing' installment of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. Capitalizing on ESPN's ratings success of its No Limit, Texas Hold'em World Series of Poker, this new television incarnation is quite entertaining, and educational. (I'm a huge fan of the first 4 years of the tv series, when Sorkin was doing the writing. That combined with the remarkable cast, I was an easy sale). A casino can be an intimidating classroom, and so the helpful hints with the jargon were more than welcome.
Even better was the first episode, with Willie Garson taking down Ben Affleck! Score one for us nerds!

Willie Garson would be doing something other than a body slam if he could get hold of Affleck, that's for damn sure.
