Playboy TV’s anchor show, which stars Juli Ashton and Tiffany Granath, pioneered the concept of adult interactive television and spawned several popular spin-offs, including “Night Calls Hotline,” “Night Calls 411” “Private Calls,” and “Night Calls U.K.,” as well as a show on XM Satellite Radio, which will re-launch soon on Sirius Satellite Radio.
Since it premiered in late 1995, “Night Calls Live” has offered viewers the chance to interact with the sexy hosts and sensuous guests, often logging up to 100,000 caller attempts during a typical episode. Ashton, a former school teacher from Colorado, has hosted the show since it premiered. She was joined in 1998 by Granath, who had toured with The Beach Boys as a professional dancer. On the air, the two banter and dole out relationship advice.
"We're not therapists, but we're real people, which I think makes us more qualified," Granath said.
