Actually, the show is only airing on Saturday nights twice as a
preview.  It's schedule, courtesy of BuzzerBlog, and it's one of the
more baffling scheduling moves I've seen...

 August 1, 2009 – 9:00pm ET
· August 8, 2009 – 9:00pm ET
· September 12, 2009 – 2:00pm ET
· October 31, 2009 – 3:30pm ET
· November 14, 2009 – 3:00pm ET
· December 12, 2009 – 3:00pm ET
· January 2, 2010 – 2:30pm ET

So it goes to Saturday afternoons on a once-a-month basis in
September.  The Peacock has had some success with the National Heads
Up Poker Championship on Saturday afternoons, but that airs weekly.

Why NBC didn't offer this as a regular alternative to reruns and
"Cops" on Saturday nights (always thought a poker show would be a low-
cost alternative if the networks tried "new" programming that night)
is beyond me.  It could have also aired after SNL in the "Best of
Poker After Dark" slot.
