Making a belated leap onto the poker bandwagon, NBC has decided that what the network world needs is a regular late-night series titled ''Poker After Dark.''
Starting Jan. 2, NBC will launch ''Poker After Dark,'' which will air at 12:05 a.m. MST. The six-nights-a-week, hourlong show will be hosted by Shana Hiatt and will feature six professional players competing for a winner-take-all pot of $120,000.
The show will cover one table as it develops over the week, culminating with a winner on Friday night. Saturday night's show will recap the week's events.
