G4tv.com (also known as G4tv: The Show or simply G4tv) was a video game talk show that aired on G4 and was produced by Laura Foy. The questions and polls used on the show were from the G4tv.com discussion forums and were on any topic concerning games or the technology of gaming. At least one person who has worked in the video game industry was usually interviewed in each episode.
The show was hosted by Tina Wood, Laura Foy, and Geoff Keighley (who replaced Scot Rubin in 2004 and started hosting the Spike TV show Game Head in mid-2005). On December 12, 2005, Tina Wood announced on her blog and on air that G4tv.com had been cancelled. The final episode, titled "Goodbye", was taped on Friday, December 16, 2005, and aired on Monday, December 19, 2005.
Starting June 2, 2008, G4 began airing repeats of the show in its G4 Rewind programming block.[1]
[edit] History
The original idea of the show dates back to when Scot Rubin first created the Internet-based radio show Game Time! on his All Games Radio multimedia station in 1996 before co-founding G4. He continues the legacy with a new online daily podcast talk show titled "All Games Interactive" which episodes can be listened to by visiting the AllGames.com websiteand forums.
