Celebrity Blackjack

Lance Bass v. Chris Harrison v. Kathy Najimy v. Kevin Hart

Season 2, Episode 3, Aired 10/26/04

Episode Summary

Fate seems to smile on the fortunes of two celebrities in this episode, dealing the other two a strange hand. Lance Bass and Chris Harrison lead throughout most of the episode, but things twist such that all celebrities have something of a shot in the final hand. Watch for celebrity / dealer antagonism as well as NSYNC related jokes. Betting is very mixed, and the players generally seem to be good strategists.moreless
