Poker After Dark to Feature New Hostess

Poker After Dark’s newest season is filming right now at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, and although the set is the same from previous episodes, there is a new addition to the cast.

Model and television personality Leeann Tweeden is taking over duties as host and interviewer. She is no newbie to poker, as Tweeden has been featured on the Mansion Poker Dome Challenge on FSN in 2006 and was the host of the 2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship that premieres this weekend.

Tweeden has a plethora of other television experience including ESPN’s Fitness Beach and FSN’s The Best Damn Sports Show. She has also appeared on talks shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live and the Craig Kilborn Show. Ranked No. 70 on Maxim’s Hot 100 in 2006, Tweeden will likely be a welcome addition to PAD episodes for viewers. Look out for the new season to air this summer.

Card Player got a look at some behind the scenes action during the filming of Poker After Dark, and the video will be released soon on Card Player TV.
