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:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.”
—Eliza Archard Connor, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 9, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
