Maybe Wil Wheaton's YouTube show "Tabletop" inspired this, but apparently NBC has an idea for a TV series based on people playing boardgames with celebrities.  Here is more info:

I believe Wil Wheaton tweeted that he was interested in seeing how it goes, and is in favor of anything that promotes boardgames.

I hold out hope that maybe this will make boardgaming tip the way poker had due to stuff like this.  After that, I would need retro and indie videogames to do the same, and then get my stuff to pick up.  I do want my "PGA for Pacman" blast it!

I watched the first episode with Day[9] in it and honestly only Day was funny. Did it get better?

And that is my hope that this show will do.  Be interesting enough to get people into playing boardgames.  What I like about Table Top is that it acts as a good tutorial on how to play games and see if they are interesting.

The Dixit episode showed me that game has potential to become its own game show actually. 

I do suggest people check out Table Top on YouTube if they haven't seen it already.
