DON'T LOOK FOR "THE MEN OF NBC" ON PLAYBOY PPV
Published January 18, 1996
"Entertainment Tonight's" Mary Hart reported on Playboy's
pay-per-view special "Real Men Don't Watch Pregame," which will
air live from the Bahamas at the same time as Super Bowl XXX
pregame festivities on NBC. Hart: "On Super Bowl Sunday, you
could watch a bunch of football analysts go on for a couple of
hours about kicking games and defense, or you could watch
Baywatch's Gina Lee Nolan and a bevy of beauties play their own
game." The show will feature "competitions" between groups of
women representing the Playboy Playmates, Hooters Restaurant
chain, Hawaiian Tropic, and former NFL Cheerleaders. Hart said
the PPV special "will put a sexy spin on games you played as a
kid" -- including Twister, tug-of-war, water sports, football
throwing, and the limbo ("ET," 1/17).
