Big ups to Steve on his new hosting gig!

Steve Schirripa is one busy guy. Not only does he play Ben's dad on "The Secret Life of The American Teenager," but also, starting this Saturday, August 1, he'll be hosting a new show. It's a reality TV program called "Face the Ace," which lets amateur poker players compete with pros for a chance to take home up to a million bucks.

Did you know that, long before he became the Sausage King, Steve used to work at a Vegas hotel as entertainment director? So he knows his way around cards, which will help when he offers advice to the contestants.

What would it be like to have Steve Schirripa as a dad? How about as a poker dealer?
