Jenna's American Sex Star is an adult pay-per-view reality television series hosted by Jenna Jameson on Playboy TV that ran from 2005 until 2006.[3]
In each episode, with Jameson as the host, five contestants competed in a series of sexual performances for a panel of judges. The judges first eliminated a contestant and then viewers voted for their favorite performer on Playboy.com. Winners were awarded an exclusive contract with Jameson's movie studio ClubJenna.[1] [2]
The show also included interviews with porn actors about each contestant. Ron Jeremy did the lead-in and introduction for the first episodes. Subsequent episode lead-ins were done by ClubJenna girls, including Jesse Capelli and McKenzie Lee.
Season 1 judges included Christy Canyon, Ron Jeremy, and Jim Powers.[2] Season 2 judges included Jim Powers, Jenna Lewis, and Jay Grdina (Jenna's ex-husband). KISS band member Gene Simmons made an appearance as a guest judge. Playboy TV's Andrea Lowell appears in season 2 as the envelope presenter when girls are to be eliminated or winners were to be announced.[3]
Contestants included:
The first girl to move on to the finals by popular vote selection was Tiffany Taylor.
Season 1 winner, Brea Bennett,[1] [2] announced in an August 2007 interview that she had left ClubJenna.[4] Season 2 winner, Roxy Jezel, stopped working with ClubJenna after one year, and she stated that she planned to retire in August 2009.[5]
The executive producer of the show was Derek Harvie and Jordan Wiles did the audience casting. Each of the sixty-minute episodes was produced in Los Angeles by the Playboy Entertainment Group.[3]
