Title: No Jesse??? Post by: George2Loose on January 16, 2008, 09:55:53 AM Just watching late night poker enjoying it very much so and as much as I love Vicky Coren it's not the same without Mr May- any reason why he wasn't signed up to commentate???
Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: dino1980 on January 16, 2008, 10:11:23 AM I'm not 100% sure but I believe Jesse only commentates on matchroom's poker output these days.

He's managed by Matchroom, but is available for other work I believe (prob. quite costly though?).Title: Re: No Jesse???

"Oh no! He cant... No, surely not... He cant bet all much on a... On a... FLUSH DRAW... Can he?" Title: Re: No Jesse???

Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: taximan007 on January 17, 2008, 04:10:08 AM IMO I believe Jesse can take as much credit as LNP itself for the boom in popularity of poker in Britain.
His style of commentary made the original series the cult it became. (akin to Sid Waddell of darts fame) only better. Just my thoughts. Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: dealerFROMhell on January 17, 2008, 07:03:00 AM If it wasn't for his annoying, nasal, American twang I probably wouldn't mind him.
I dunno, he just doesnt seem that knowledgeable about the game. Much like Colin Murray. Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: Mango99 on January 17, 2008, 09:42:01 AM IMO I believe Jesse can take as much credit as LNP itself for the boom in popularity of poker in Britain. For sure that hits the nail on the head.His style of commentary made the original series the cult it became. (akin to Sid Waddell of darts fame) only better. Just my thoughts. Just as Sid Waddell is "The Voice of Darts", Jessie May is surely "The Voice of Poker"? Title: Re: No Jesse???

"His mother will be chewing the curtans" Title: Re: No Jesse???

Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: AdamM on January 17, 2008, 01:24:36 PM Jesse May is an absolute legend. Him and Padraig Parkinson together is hilarious.
Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: Snatiramas on January 17, 2008, 01:51:07 PM On the few occassions that I have had the pleasure of meeting him.....it was just that.... a pleasure
Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: ACE2M on January 17, 2008, 03:40:09 PM met him last year and he was hilarious, we were both fairly inebriated though.
legend imo. Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: dazzaster on January 17, 2008, 04:23:30 PM He is the top man, every poker show should be presented by him and Pardraig.
Under no circumstances should Shannon Elizabeth ever be a commentator again. Vicky Coren is Ok I'm warming to her a bit now, I originally found her really annoying but she's growing on me slowly. Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: TommyGun241 on January 17, 2008, 11:50:21 PM I also like the classic LNP lineup of Jeese and Barney Boatman.
Title: Re: No Jesse??? Post by: AdamM on January 18, 2008, 10:18:12 AM I too found Jesse in person to be every bit as entertaining as on TV.
Give him more than 5 seconds silence and he fills it with commentary. Funny |
