And Jerry Mathers as the Cooler

I was eating Easy Mac when I read this and had to clean up my keyboard from spitting processed cheese and water all over it.... as reported by OPN:

Rumors that Janeane Garofalo has been picked to play poker celebrity Annie Duke on NBC's upcoming sitcom have been confirmed. The new series, "All In," will portray Garofalo as a single mother of three, who also plans to play poker professionally. Before Garofalo was named to play the lead role of Annie Duke, skepticism still surrounded the project, with a number of people believing that NBC would not go through with the poker-themed show.

First they tried going way over the top in one direction with Tilt, and now this, the ultimate over-correction. This is a sure-fire way for the mainstream world to believe that poker is starting to overstay its welcome in primtetime. Somewhere, the Fonz has water skis on.

Of course, the article goes on to state the obvious...

Whether the show will be a hit among the poker community, however, remains to be seen. It is likely that the world of poker depicted in "All In" will be a far cry from the real poker circuit.

Yes.... the knee-slapping comedy and madcap hijinks of the poker world, Thursdays on NBC!

My guess is that you'll be able to say All In is about poker as much as you can say Everybody Loves Raymond is about writing a sports column.
