Poker's newest exciting entry into broadcast television, the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge, premieres this weekend on Fox, right after Terry, Howie, Jimmy and the boys sign off of Fox's Sunday NFL coverage- arguably one of the most impressive lead-in opportunities ever offered to a poker program.

This new show warranting such confidence, not only features poker legend Daniel Negreanu in the lead role as both the contestant's best friend and eventually their greatest rival, but also other top PokerStars pros like Chris Moneymaker, Vanessa Rousso and PokerRoad's Barry Greenstein.  Mix that kind of poker talent in with mainstream celebrities not usually associated with the game, as well as engaging players with interesting story lines- like this week's full-blown priest already making headlines for trying to win enough to build a new church- and you may just end up with the most successful non-niche poker show ever produced (or perhaps a huge dumpster fire, could go either way).

To check-out the world premiere of the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge and judge for yourself, tune into Fox this Sunday, October 11th, directly after the featured NFL game. 

Bonus:  This week's viewers will not only get to be the first to witness the action but will also learn a password for an exclusive online freeroll awarding a first prize worth $20,000.
