History
Originally featuring hosts Juli Ashton and Doria Rone (1996–1998), Doria was eventually replaced by Tiffany Granath. Granath and Ashton co-hosted the show from November 1998 until early 2006 at which time the show was recast and reworked. In Playboy TV cast adult stars Jesse Jane and Kirsten Price, in the host roles for the final 14 months of the series' run.
A British version of the show also exists (on Playboy One).
The US version is filmed in Los Angeles, and was redesigned when Jesse Jane started presenting; in its final incarnation the series used a far larger set with striptease poles, a house band, and a live studio audience.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
