- NBC's 'Last Comic Standing' Finalist Iliza Shlesinger Hosts New Dating Series on Playboy TV That Looks at What Gets Turned on When You Mix Guys, Gadgets and Girls - LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Knowing that "boys love their toys,"
Playboy TV announced today the premier of the sexy dating series "Gadget or
the Girl." The new series puts guys' interest in girls to the test when
forced to pick between a hot weekend getaway with the girl of his choice, or
forego the potentially good time for a mystery gadget to keep instead.

In each episode, the lucky bachelor is introduced to three lovely ladies,
of which he must immediately pick two to continue the game with. From there,
the new threesome goes on an exciting date to get to know each other. At the
end, one girl will be his date for the evening. After a romantic date with
the girl of his choice, the guy must finally decide if he is going to enjoy a
weekend getaway with the girl, or give her up and leave with a surprise high-
tech toy.
While the beautiful girls are tempting, so are the potential gadgets --
ranging from a 60" plasma TV to an arcade game machine. However, the guy
won't know his prize until he picks either the gadget or the girl. To make
the game even more interesting, the girl is rewarded with a prize if she gets
the guy to select her over the mystery gadget.
Show host Iliza Shlesinger is currently one of the remaining finalists on
NBC's popular reality television series "Last Comic Standing."
"Iliza is sassy, brash and at her best when engaging our game participants
in this fun, spirited romantic competition. Iliza's impeccable comedic timing
makes for some very funny television," said Todd Schwartz, vice president,
programming, Playboy TV. "After working with Iliza we are not surprised by her
recent success and expect to hear much more from her in the future."
"Gadget or the Girl" was produced and developed for Playboy TV by Garth

producers.
