Poker After Dark is an hour-long poker television program that originally aired on NBC,[3] premiering on January 1, 2007.[2] The series was canceled on December 3, 2011, following the "Black Friday" criminal case, which involved major sponsor Full Tilt Poker as one of the defendants.[4] The show rebooted on August 14, 2017, with appearances from Tom Dwan, Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari. Poker After Dark episodes are now filmed exclusively at the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort and Casino, and distributed on video streaming service PokerGO.

For its first two seasons, both of which originally aired in 2007, the show was presented by Shana Hiatt.[5] The host for season 3 was Marianela Pereyra, and Leeann Tweeden took over starting with season 4.[6] When the series returned on PokerGO in 2017, Drea Renee took over as lead presenter. Veronica Brill was introduced as the sideline reporter during season 12.[7]

All seasons have contained voice-over commentary by Oliver "Ali" Nejad.
