A generalization of the Narayana polynomials will be given and related to the classical Gegenbauer polynomials: the probabilistic interpretation of a sequence related to the Narayana numbers will be used to prove some results first introduced by M. Lassalle. This is joint work with T. Amdeberhan, V.H. Moll, J. Borwein and A. Straub.
