New Host for Poker After Dark

A new host has been chosen for the fourth season of Poker After Dark, replacing the host that replaced the first host of the show, Shana Hiatt, after only one season. The new host is Leeann Tweeden, a model and TV personality that has some familiarity with her new role. Tweeden was on the Mansion Poker Dome Challenge in 2006. Viewers of other poker fare will also recognize her from the 2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship that she also hosted. Tweeden's role on Poker After Dark is to announce the beginning of each episode and to interview players both during the game and when they bust out.
