Lets hug it out Bitch

So I ended up ordering and watching the entire final table of the World Series of Poker. Fun little fact, the man who took down the title goes by the name Jamie Gold…he use to be a talent agent…sound a little familiar?

Jamie Gold is the real life Ari Gold from Entourage. I read that he went to College with the creator of Entourage and that he is who they based the Ari Gold character after. They even were going to originally have Jeremy Piven’s characters name be Jamie Gold but had to change it to Ari because of legal issues. Sadly he never called anyone a (insert word that rhymes with bunt) muscle during the final table. After watching him a couple of hours I decided he is not as funny as Jeremy Piven. Real life lets me down again. Still pretty cool though.

Comments:
I've actually heard Ari Gold was based on the agent brother of Congressman Rahm Emanuel.
 
I think your right. I read the article on ESPN and the ESPN announcers kept refering to him by his nickname Ari but I think that all his similarities are just coincidence. Ari Emanuel is the agent of Marky Mark so it would make more sense that the Ari Gold character is based off him.
