A former Army brat raised primarily in Tabernacle Township, New Jersey, Shana Hiatt is best known for hosting the first three seasons of World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel.

After leaving the World Poker Tour in 2005, Hiatt sued the producers in order to get a restraining order to prevent them from keeping her from working on a rival poker show on NBC, Poker After Dark. The WPT argued a non-compete clause was part of her contract, but Hiatt countered that Shana Hiatt never signed it. The suit additionally revealed Hiatt left the WPT over a "hostile working environment" involving her husband, movie producer Todd Garner whom Shana Hiatt married in October 2005. Hiatt was previously married to James Van Patten, brother of World Poker Tour co-host Vince Van Patten.
