Fate of Poker After Dark Uncertain

Poker After Dark

Due to some reshuffling at NBC, that network's late night poker show, Poker After Dark, could find itself airing even later than it does now or not airing at all.

Jay Leno's prime time show was officially cancelled by NBC on Sunday.  As a result, he will be moving back to the 11:35 pm hour.  The network hopes to keep Conan O'Brien, but will move his show back an hour.  They also wish to keep Jimmy Fallon on board.  But nothing has been reported in regard to Carson Daly's show or Poker After Dar.

Poker After Dark has enjoyed some degree of success on NBC's late night slate. In the U.S., the show had some early ratings success: during season one's second week, it attracted on average a larger audience among adults 18-34 than The Late Late Show did the same week, even though the latter is broadcast 90 minutes earlier

Poker After Dark airs six times a week, at 2:05 a.m. ET (1:05 CT) Tuesday through Saturday, and then at 1:00 a.m. ET (12:00 CT) on Sundays, though times vary according to the preferences of the affiliates.

One of the things I thought about with this Jay Leno reshuffling disaster is when Poker After Dark would be broadcast. Most likely P.A.D. will retain its time slot of 2:05am at the expense of Carson Daly's show, because Leno's show will be half an hour (11:35-12:05), most likely followed by Conan and Fallon.

PAD isn't a NBC show...

This article is not very well researched. Not only is Poker After Dark not in any danger of losing it's slot, but it airs m-f at 2:05am, Saturday at 1:00am and it doesn't air on Sundays. so... yeah. Oh, but good choice of picture, Tom Dwan is a fucking hottie.

you guys are retarded

you probably dont know how to ad but let me try explaning to you and spell it out. this article just points out the inevitible that Leno's back and other NBC programming is going to be altered in late night. I don't poker after dark gets effected. I think that Carson Daly goes but there is a chance PAD gets pushed back another hour to.
