Shana Hiatt, who just a few months ago the World Poker Tour tried to Peacock-block‚Ñ¢ from returning to television, will debut her new NBC show, “Poker After Dark“, starring Shana Hiatt, in just 13 days (if you’re counting), which in calendar terms is January 2, 2007.
The hour-long show, starring Shana Hiatt, who by the way certainly should be considered a viable candidate for the OWCPG of 2007, along with the likes of our favorite lip-stickin’ hottie/druggie, Miss USA Tara Conner, will air at 2:05 a.m. ET/PT nightly, Monday ‚Äì Saturday, and will star Shana Hiatt. Set in various casinos in Las Vegas, and starring Shana Hiatt, “Poker After Dark” will feature Shana Hiatt as the host and pretty much every named pro battling it out weekly for a winner-takes-all $120,000 pot and post-tournament interview with Shana Hiatt.
While the details of the show and who’s playing has been reported over the past few months, an official press release
from NBC was dropped today that confirmed details of the show and included a quote from Marc Graboff, President, NBC Universal Television, West Coast.
Loosely (very) paraphrasing what Graboff said about “Poker After Dark“:
“Hey all you Red Bull-soused online poker junkies up past 2am on a Monday, turn your frickin tube on because Shana’s back on TV and this time it’s network and that means new spreads in Maxim, Stuff and FHM are sure to come so if you want to thank us, then watch Poker After Dark, starring Shana Hiatt. Thanks.”
After the jump, his actual quote and the rest of the press release made pretty with photos of Shana from the “Poker After Dark” website.
