Sorry for the bump but Chris Gore has a Kickstarter campaign going on to create a documentary about AOTS and G4 called "Attack of the Doc."

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...g4-documentary

Check it out, if you're so inclined. I'm a contributor (a Kickstarter first for me). It'd be fun to see it made.

Apparently, no one left on this board is interested. In case anyone has a passing interest the project got funded and hit a couple stretch goals.One of those goals was funding travel outside of California to interview past members of AOTS, like Sara Underwood lives in the Pacific Northwest.

Doc should be ready next year, first screening in July.

I wish I had known about this. I would have donated. It looks like it's too late now, but I'll buy a copy of it.

Yeah I wish I had known so I could have donated. I still have a soft spot for G4 and occasionally watch the reruns of things like X-Play and Judgement Day.

He needed a stretch goal to be able to travel (even just up to PNW) for interviews? What would it have been if that goal wasn't reached, just him and Kevin P shooting the shit?

I think they'd have a lot more support for a TechTv / The Screen Savers documentary.

Yeah, wake me when there is a Screen Savers reunion or documentary. I'm also with Jacko. TechTV went to shit when it became G4.

There was a pretty good fan-made video on YouTube. No interviews or anything like that. Just a compilation of old footage. But it brought back a lot of memories.

Most are still in socal. If Olivia wants to be a part of it, who knows where she'll be.

I messaged Chris Gore on Twitter. He said they are going to start a Patreon so people that missed out on the Kickstarter can follow their progress. I'll probably sign up. Traveling with film crews can be expensive. Good camera operators get paid 350 plus per day. Production Assistants make at least 150 per day. Producers and Directors get more than that. Add in travel expenses and equipment rentals, it can really add up.

I wonder if they'll get Layla Kaylee. I actually hear about her all the time, although a bit indirectly. I listen to her ex-husband's talk show on SiriusXM. They got divorced a couple years back and have a kid together. Comments about her tend to lean towards the negative side which isn't surprising given the situation.

I've followed her on Instagram ever since she left AOTS. She's gone through a few name changes (currently Layla R Warren) but she's still gorgeous.

I've heard some insinuations that Adam Sessler(spelling?) was a big coke head during his time on G4.

So I guess the return of G4 was announced during ComicConAtHome a few weeks ago:

Not much actual information yet. The following video is unofficial but has links to twitter reactions from some of the old hosts and speculation about what platform G4 may return on. (maybe Peacock?)

Attack of the Show is returning this summer. I hope Olivia and Kevin return to host.

i would say Kevin is a shoe-in because, frankly, what's he doing? but Olivia Munn being kinda movie star now, may make an appearance, but won't be a regular.

This was reported last summer: https://www.thewrap.com/olivia-munn-...unch-deal/amp/

well, there you go. that will be awesome!

G4 TO LAUNCH ON VERIZON FIOS, COX, XFINITY TV, PHILO AND TWITCH

ON NOVEMBER 16, 2021

Los Angeles, CA – October 12, 2021 – G4, the content studio and network that unites creators and fandoms, announced today the network will officially return to consumers on linear television and through streaming services on November 16, 2021.

Upon launch, G4 will debut linearly on the channel lineups of Verizon Fios, Cox, and Xfinity TV. The network will also stream on Philo and collaborate with Twitch on a multi-year promotional and commercial partnership through G4’s official Twitch channel. G4 will also continue to create channel-specific content across its social media platforms and YouTube.

“Since the initial announcement of G4’s revival at Comic-Con @ Home last year, we’ve been in constant dialogue with our audience through the content we’ve produced,” said Russell Arons, President, G4. “We made a promise to fans that we would build this network with their input and are proud to say that our promise has been kept. At G4, we never stopped playing and can’t wait to have our fans join us in our hilarious and fairly preposterous sandbox on November 16.”

“G4 was a pioneer for video games on television for twelve years, long before businesses were focused on gaming. The credibility that comes with that cannot be manufactured,” said Josh Cella, Chief Revenue Officer, G4/Spectacor Gaming. "As we gear up to launch, we are excited to unlock our portfolio of talent, creative marketing platforms, interactive programming and an innovative distribution model for business partners."

G4 programming will be produced and delivered through a first-of-its-kind 24/7 broadcast studio, featuring a collaborative workplace and professional esports and gaming environment. Designed by global architectural firm Populous, the studio is located in Burbank, California. Other notable design projects from Populous include Yankee Stadium, Red Bull HQ, and Esports Stadium Arlington.

G4’s programming slate at launch will include a wide range of content, including new editions of beloved legacy G4 shows, exclusive content, top interviews, and more, including:

• Attack of the Show!: The original geek culture variety show returns with host Kevin Pereira and a brand new cavalcade of misfits. Irreverent and unscripted, Attack of the Show!is a welcoming place for any fan who wants to spend a couple of hours laughing, watching epic stunts and hilarious sketches, and deep-diving into the latest trends of the internet. From hilarious web videos to memes, to streaming of all types, to celebrity guests, to the weirdest tech, Attack of the Show! is still the show that gets it before it gets out.
• Xplay: Xplay used an extra life! The ultimate video game review show returns as a digital-first content brand that balances an authoritative loudmouth confidence with the absurdity of a public-access comedy sketch show, all while (somehow) maintaining enough credibility to book interviews with top industry luminaries. Xplay is expanding the conversation with insightful and irreverent explorations into every game worth your time: AAA, indie, mobile, VR, retro… it’s all on the table. Adam Sessler is back, joined by a group of hilarious experts, to bring a brutally honest voice to the modern gaming scene.
• Boosted: Boosted is a weekly esports comedy series for curious gamers and esports fanatics alike. Boosted is that moment in-game when you realize you’re the worst player in the lobby.

• Ninja Warrior: The quest to summit Mt. Midoriyama returns as G4 attains the exclusive linear broadcasting rights to SASUKE, better known as Ninja Warrior in the United States, from Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc. (TBS). G4 will air all 167 episodes of the legendary competition series that pits heroic athletes of all types from pro gymnasts, to fishermen, to comedians against a four-stage, formidable, and/or impossible obstacle course. G4 will also present three tournaments never-before-seen in the United States, SASUKE 35, 36, and 37.
• ESL Gaming: G4 has partnered with ESL Gaming, the world’s leading esports and gaming lifestyle company, to produce and broadcast several prime-time esports programs, a first for ESL Gaming in the US and Canada. G4’s exclusive linear broadcast rights make it the premier destination for ESL Pro Tour events including the IEM Katowice 2022.
• Dungeons & Dragons Limited Series: Coming off the immense success of D&D Live 2021 featuring notable celebrities like Jack Black, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Smith, and DrLupo, G4 will continue its partnership with Wizards of the Coast with an all-new, limited-run series to premiere on G4 this Fall. The series will follow four campaigns with a mix of G4 talent, veteran D&D players, and celebrities for a new generation of D&D fans.

Additional distribution, programming and content partnerships will be announced closer to the network launch.

Looks like she is now employed by OnlyFans at this point. No one wanted her for her hosting talents?

Attack of the show is back Tuesday, November 16th If you don't have any of the cable services G4 is on, they will be streaming the channel live on YouTube and Twitch Monday through Friday.


I'm a little disappointed that Olivia isn't coming back after she was in negotiations to return, but she's pregnant with a chaotic personal life right now....

I used to follow tht Kassem G guy and remember him posting some relatively funny man on the street interview videos so I wonder if they will use him for that.

The Neff guy’s name sounds familiar too.

Can they not launch an App or something? "Cable services" is literally why G4 didn't exist anymore.

They're owned by Comcast. I don't know why they're not going to be on Peacock.
