Peacock’s ‘Poker Face’ Brings Back ‘BLSHT Day’ FYC Event at 13 L.A. Burger Joints (EXCLUSIVE)
Peacock is calling ‘BLSHT’ one again. The streamer’s “Poker Face” will once again mark Emmy FYC season by creating a day-long takeover at 14 various Los Angeles burger joins on Saturday, June 7, to celebrate the show.
The Emmy-winning mystery series will offer free “‘BLSHT burger and a side of lies” to fans and Emmy voters on June 7 from noon to 6 p.m. PT. The day is based on Charlie Cale, the character played on “Poker Face” by Natasha Lyonne.
Also, Charlie Cale’s iconic 1968 Plymouth Barracuda will be on display for photo opportunities at Heavy Handed in Studio City.

Peacock has been busy with its “Poker Face” installations: At the start of May, it held another event in New York, where it took over what is apparently Manhattan’s last gas station (a Mobil outlet that is also home to viral burger spot Smacking Burger) and turned it into “Charlie Cale’s Back on Her BLSH*T Rest Stop.”
The immersive roadside pit stop, inspired by the “Poker Face” adventures, also incuded a “BLSHT burger and a side of lies.”
“Poker Face” continues in new episodes, releasing on Thursdays through July 10. Rian Johnson is creator/writer/director EP; showrunner/EP is Tony Tost, Natasha Lyonne is EP/director/writer/star. Other EPs include Ram Bergman, Nena Rodrigue, Adam Arkin, Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman.
