But then try to do sketch comedy and then try to go out to conventions. But at the time, that show made no sense and in some ways was sort of groundbreaking in the variety space. And when I look at the show on paper now I go like, "Well, that still works. We might need to tweak the way in which we present it, the running times. The ability to be interactive with the audience. I mean, back in the day, we were doing like webcam Hangouts with our audience during commercial breaks, or we had, if you remember, Fax Bear, and you could send us a fax live during the show and a poor production assistant jammed into a god awful smelling bear costume would dig out your fax and then we would read them on air.
And we even had a viewer army back then, where we would send people flip cameras, if you remember that product, and they would run around and sort of document their life. So that's how we were pushing the format and the interactivity and utilizing tech to tell our story and tell the story of our audience back then. So the notion that we get to do that today, where everybody's got a super computer that shoots 4K in their pocket?
I don't want to spoil any of the sauce that I've got simmering on the back burner at the moment, because, again, we're focusing on the B4G4 initiative. But I still think the core content and the way we covered it can work.
Now, it's a matter of how can we explore it utilizing the best tech that we have today? How can we amplify the voice of our audience? How can we do those things with all these new platforms available to us?
So again, tingling in ways that I shall not describe. CB: So you touched on B4G4 and I know one of the main goals with that initiative has been to introduce some of the new hosts that will be involved with the network moving forward.
How do you feel about getting to work with not only former talent like Adam Sessler, but also some of the new faces like Austin Creed, Ovilee May, and Froskurinn?
KP: I'm just so destroyed for them. I'm so sorry that they have to show up and see me at some point. That's not fair. No one deserves that. Ovilee is someone who I've been playing Among Us with and have been hanging out with on Discord and there was a brief Genshin Impac t moment where her and some other folks encouraged me to drop way too much money on Wishes and I unlocked a bunch of items.
Everybody else was over the moon and then no one ever played the game again. But do I have an ax to grind with Ovilee about that? Am I excited to work alongside her? And then getting to do the reunion special with Austin. Austin's somebody that I watched on the Up, Up, Down, Down Channel for so long and really just admire what he does and his positivity and the energy that he brings to everything.
And having him on set, there was a moment where even he was like, "Wow, this feels like the weirdest timeline. So, as I said earlier, I know what I can do and I'm excited to be able to again, apply the knowledge that I have today to the sort of brand from the past and see how I can do that. But I'm really most excited for the next generation, man.
I'm going to be on a pickle ball court with a mint julep in a few years and that's going to be the end of days for me and I'm psyched for that.
But I'm really excited to see what this next generation can do because they grew up with G4. We helped kind of usher that generation in. But since then they have excelled so much and they're so great at connecting and meme-ing and producing just the dankest content. So I'm excited to get in the mix and be inspired by them.
And then if there's a tip or trick that I can pass down to them, I'm all for it. CB: I think what's interesting about G4 returning at this point is that while you all were very unique and groundbreaking with what you produced back in the day, you're coming back in a space where many other people are creating similar things compared to the old G4.
Is there a different level of intimidation for you now when it comes to the competition where there once wasn't? KP: I would say, and I've touched on this a little bit in the past, that competition versus collaboration is like a really fine line.
If you see the way Jerry XL exists in the G4 universe already is a good example. Someone like Gus is an amazing creator. I would never want to be in competition with someone like him. Ovilee's videos , her music video stuff that she does and even just for Instagram alone. Today, you can find dozens of streamers broadcasting Demon's Souls and uploading gaming-inspired TikTok sketches at any given moment. But when G4 was on the air, it was the only place on TV that took games and tech seriously, featuring a mix of news and analysis plus jabs at popular culture, Bush-era politics , and sometimes its own audience.
Today, those previously involved with G4 — and its November 24 online reunion special — argue on behalf of its enduring, if unrecognized legacy in What were your favorite video games and gaming moments of ?
Take our poll! Sessler, too, was a paradox for a TV personality. He wore mullet wigs and argued with a sentient Xbox. The hosts of G4 lacked the polished sheen of late-night talk hosts and CNN anchors. Even great skill becomes kind of cold. You need something to back it up. Pereira worked his way up quickly, eventually hosting both the weekly video game news show, Pulse , and the competitive gaming show, Arena.
According to the story at G4TV. His last day on Attack of the Show will be May 31st, but he plans to stick around for E3 coverage from June 4 - 7.
While he's been mostly tight-lipped, Pereira did give a little hint as to where he's headed next - i. Adam Sessler was a staple of TechTV, and over the years has become one of the most respected games journalists in the business.
