Yeah, that's right -- Hollywood has secret clubs. And it ain't that new spot Drai’s at the W in Hollywood.
For these clubs, it's not enough to know someone to get in. First you have to know they exist.
From hoops to poker to right-wing politics, they’re secretive in nature and selective in membership. And in an appropriate twist, TV super-spy (Zach Levi) belongs to two of them.
TheWrap went sleuthing to bring you the full reveal of Hollywood's secret social scene:
• The Millionaires' $2 Poker Game
Each Wednesday for the past 18 years, veteran music agent Norby Walters has welcomed nine boldface names to his Wilshire corridor high rise for three hours of poker.
The card club’s roster has been a generation-spanning grab bag of varying starpower: everyone from Sid Caesar and the late Milton Berle to Sharon Stone, Andrew Dice Clay and “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek.
William Shatner has taken a seat at the table – as has Chris Pine, setting up a theoretical Capt. Kirk vs. Capt. 
Kirk showdown.
Kirk showdown.And current regulars include actual poker champs from the industry community: World Series of Poker bracelet winner and actor Jennifer Tilly, and fellow World Series of Poker money winner Mimi Rogers.
Interestingly, all these penthouse millionaires compete for $1 and $2 hands.
With such low stakes, a regular player told TheWrap that “nobody wins and nobody really loses … except Jason Alexander.”
Reportedly, on his first visit years ago, Alexander lost every hand of the night, going down $200. He retorted, “Don’t worry, I’m doing a million-dollar pretzel commercial tomorrow.” (This was most likely his mid-‘90s Rold Gold Pretzel Super Bowl ads.)
Meanwhile, Alexander’s former “Seinfeld” boss Larry David reportedly earned a reputation for being an agonizingly slow caller, provoking competitors to ridicule his low stakes in light of his syndication nest egg.
• Kimmel's Super Sundays
Every Sunday during football season, Jimmy Kimmel plays Willy Wonka to friends, staffers and fellow comics by opening up his house not just to gridiron viewing but to a fantasy of home-made culinary delights.
A theater-sized main screen flanked by plasmas and
multiple TVs in the kitchen ensure that every game is “on” everywhere in the house. But that’s only part of the draw.

One regular told The Wrap, “His pizzas are delicious, and his greedy guests sit and wait for them like pigeons waiting for crumbs in Washington Square Park.”
If all of the beer or Jimmy's food sends guests to the bathroom, fear not -- there are TVs in there, too.
“Adam Carolla is the resident alpha male while Jimmy labors away in the kitchen like professional house staff,” according to the regular. And during last year’s Super Bowl, Ben Affleck made his debut and fit in like a regular. (Those with a long pop-culture memory will remember that Affleck and Kimmel had a well-publicized faux-romance in a YouTube music video, a response to a video by Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon.)
