Face The Ace

Face The Ace, a new poker show airing on NBC prime time Saturday night, found itself in last place in the ratings.  The news can't be good for a show that went up against a bunch of reruns.

Fox won the night with two installments of Cops and America's Most Wanted.

Face The Ace had 1.6 million viewers and a 0.4/2 share.  Compare that with America's Most Wanted in the same time slot with nearly 5 million viewers during its second half (the 9:30 pm to 10:00 pm time period). 

Over the past few years poker shows have enjoyed top ratings on Cable including the Travel Network (World Poker Tour) and ESPN (coverage of the World Series of Poker).

Earn a spot on Face The Ace and win up to $1,000,000!

Every day contestants appear on the show and play against professionals like Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius.   Contestants could win up to $1 million.

Host

I really wanted this show to work. I think it could've been fun, but I agree that the host takes a lot away from the show.

agree

No offense against the host but who is he? I play poker alot so don't watch tv that often.... and when i do watch it usually have to do with poker... where is the gorgeous shanna hiatt? also the way the blinds raise up at every 3 hands no wonder the pros are going all-in when they have an Ace or a king... anyone can beat the pros at this rate!

I agree, the host sucked.

I agree, the host sucked. Can you get a less obnoxious loser to do it? A babe, like Shawna. No brainer.

Face the Ace

Shed the MC and put that gorgeous woman that used to help MC the Fox poker series. Sherpa is lousy in this program.
