Night Calls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Night Calls is an American pornographic television series on Playboy TV, broadcast since 1995.

Currently hosted by Jesse Jane and Kirsten Price, the series has featured many female porn stars including Juli Ashton, McKenzie Lee, Kate Frost and Andrea Lowell. A British version of the show also exists (on Playboy 1).

Night Calls can be seen as a forerunner of the televised sex line style of TV programme, as viewers are invited call in to request different things of the presenters, who will have sex on the air. The US version is filmed in Los Angeles, and was redesigned when Jesse Jane started presenting; it now has a large set with striptease poles and a house band, and is filmed front of a studio audience.

[edit] Spinoffs

Night Calls 411 ran on Playboy TV from 2000 to 2005. It focused on sex tips and featured an ethnically diverse cast. It was originally hosted by Crystal Knight and Flower Edwards, with Tera Patrick as the "Net Nympho", who read e-mail and bantered with the hosts while disrobing. Patrick left after the first season as her career ascended, but returned in June 2001 as co-host when Flower was pregnant. Kitana Baker took over the part of "Net Nympho". Tera was replaced by Nikki Nova in February 2003 when she got in a contract dispute with her company, Digital Playground^[1]. Nova would remain co-host until the show's demise; Knight was on for the entire run. A month later, Nicole Oring became the Net Nympho. Night Calls 411 originally ran 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. PST on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month except January and August (i.e. on the weeks Night Calls wasn't on) until July 2004. From October 2004 to its abrupt demise in May 2005, it ran once a month, on a Friday, for an hour. During this time they had rotating guests as the Net Nympho.

Night Calls Hotline ran from 2004 to 2005. It was hosted by Ashley Blue, Nautica Thorn, and Ann-Marie (who later left to do Private Calls).
