LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Kevin Pereira Leaving G4

Posted on Tuesday, May 8 @ 11:05:57 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Adam Sessler left G4 just a couple of weeks ago, and now, another big name is leaving the network: Attack of the Show host Kevin Pereira.

Pereira will stay with G4 for one more month with E3 being his last G4 appearance. G4TV has promised that this will be a "Pereira-palooza" with a month-long sendoff.

"For the last ten years, G4 has provided me a phenomenal career filled with coutnless once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and the chance to work with some of the most driven, talented, and passionate people in the business," said Pereira. "I want to thank our viewers for allowing me to inform and entertain them each and every week."

So what's next for Pereira? He's going to focus on his production company, Super Creative, and his "live touring nerd-carnival," leetUP.

Looks like these are dark, down times for G4TV. Pereira and Sessler were definitely two of the biggest draws to the network, so it's a little difficult to see a bright future down the tunnel, especially since G4TV already has so many unpopular non-gaming shows (Cheaters, Cops).

    DirecTV stopped carrying G4TV years ago. I haven't missed it at all. How about we get some GRTV?

    I find it odd that someone who visits a website about games would not like the only television station in existence that covers games. Care to elaborate or this just typical Internet hate in an attempt to seem cool? Olivia Munn not answer your fan mail? ;) (Just messing with you.)

    So are there auditions? While I have had no acting classes, I feel like I would be able to do a great job.

    This really sucks. I like Kevin. He is the glue that holds the show together and is way more talented than a lot of people give him credit for. I hope G4 gets its act together. There is a huge audience for a show/channel centered around video games/tech/movies/guns/girls and comedy....it's called every American male under 50! It sounds like they just need new management. I watch AOTS every day and I'd hate to think there will be no place to go where they cover our interests. I cancelled my Direct TV when they dropped G4.

    Wtf...how can someone disagree with me liking Kevin and the show? If YOU don't like it then fine, post a comment, but don't disagree with someone's liking something. Or at least say what aspect of the comment you disagree with.

    Believe it or not, back on my 21st birthday in 2005, I auditioned for a guest host spot on "Attack of the Show" and called out Kevin Pereira. I didn't get a second interview, but I DID make it on TV and said "Kevin, your job is in jeopardy!"

    And now, he has no "proper" job at G4. I apologize for the curse I cast upon him, and I wish him well in his future endeavors. I didn't know the curse would take this long, need to study that book a bit more. *shrug*

    This makes me sad. I remember when blair sent me an email in response saying something to the effect of "I don't get paid enough for this s***". Kevin, along with webb I guess are the only ones left from the old days, when they used to review games on the dreamcast. G4 should really push to have some more established presence on the network, not just a swath of nerdy interns and cute 20 something chicks who know nothing about video games. I say find someone who contributes to the network who has been passionate about video games and technology since at least 1995.
    Holla atcha boi.

    I happen to be a "20 something chick" and besides being a huge gamer, I run my own video game blog (gamergirltay.com) and will be an intern with G4 this summer. Maybe the absence of huge G4 personalities will pave the way for a new generation of equally knowledgeable staff? *Crossing my fingers*
