From recent feedback, it seems Mike Carlson is revered by many as a quality NFL pundit.

Mike will be the Guest on the Sky Poker "Grudge Match" tonight on Sky Sports 4 between 10pm & Midnight.

Mike will be playing a bit of "fun" poker against Stu Rutter, but really, the idea of these shows is to leave room for plenty of informal chat with the Guest, & to field as many viewers questions as possible.

Any questions, send them to #skypokertv

I believe Richard Orford is the Presenter, & Mr Neil Channing will be the Guest Talker.

Mercifully, you will be spared my expert NFL analysis & probing questions.

This post made on a train. How cool is that?

A lot of people - certainly more than 1 - asked when they would be able to catch a replay of last week's Show, which featured Matt Elliott, who was something of a Leicester City standing dish for many a year.

The full Show is below......

Rutter should def be wearing his Sheff Wed fancy dress outfit tonight to celebrate their play off appearance IMO.

Orford sold me on his NFL knowledge for 90 minutes there (i really didn't think he was getting fed stuff through his ear piece) until he just announced Brett Favre's name totally wrong!  Fair play to channing and Mike for keeping a straight face there! 

Great show but it must be boring the shit out of 99% of sky poker players who watch every week.

Never thought I'd ever watch a poker show on tv again, but if this gets uploaded I will have to tune in.

Love Iron Mike.

Love Iron Mike.

It will be uploaded to YouTube next Tuesday, Keith, & I'll post a link to it when it is up.

Possibly, but it is quite specifically targeted at a different demograph completely - the Sky Sports audience who enjoy watching various sporting names & who might be, or become, "poker curious".

Do the viewing figures vary much based on the guest or are they pretty flat week on week?

I'd imagine most of the audience could be named so should be fairly easy to work this out

Correct, I would imagine they all have names.

They vary dramatically, but it's usually hard to correlate with a particular Guest.

To muddy the water still further, viewing figures are not measured in simple terms, when we get the Report is has scores of categories, but broadly speaking, they are measured by how long the viewer watches, & this can be measured in seconds & minutes. Above 3, 5, 10 or 20 minutes is usually the main yardsticks. Bizarrely, even sub 30 seconds is measured, and as you can imagine, that's often the biggest category. Wink

The real clues as to the volatility of the figures are...

What was on immediately before? If it follows, say, a big football game on the same channel, that helps.

As for this Tuesday, I'd have a good bet that the figures for the first segment would be lower than expected, as the West Ham Man U game over-ran by some time, & the post-match interviews & punditry get really high figures. Once that ended, viewers start scrolling the remote to see what else is on, & at that point, the Show would have picked up more viewers. We won't get to see those numbers until next month though.

The total viewers number jumps around enormously, but broadly speaking, on Sky Sports, the Show gets 20 times or more views than the old 861 (non-Sky Sports) Show got. It's a tidy 5 figure number, but has yet to threaten 6 figures.
