Kevin Pereira

A superstar in the gaming/pop culture world thanks to his hosting duties on the zeitgeist-defining "Attack of the Show" (G4, 2005-2013), producer and media personality Kevin Pereira brought humor and insight to those worlds through a vast array of television and online programming, including "The Attack" (Twitch, 2014- ) and "Hack My Life" (truTV, 2015- ).

Born Kevin Elder Pereira December 28, 1982 in San Leandro, California, Pereira began his media career as Captain Immy, the host of the radio program "Pointless Audio," at the age of 14.  The show, which was built around prank phone calls and other mischief, would set the tone for his humorous approach to programming as a professional.

After attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for a semester, Pereira floated through various jobs in the internet and television fields before landing at G4 Media's eponymous digital cable channel. There, he moved swiftly up the ranks from production assistant to anchor and co-hosting duties on the gaming shows "Arena" (G4, 2002-2004) and "The Screen Savers" (TechTV, 1998-2005), which later became "Attack of the Show!" (G4, 2005-2013).

With Olivia Munn, Pereira served as host for nearly the show's entire run, covering tech and pop culture for a devoted audience before departing its ranks shortly before its network run came to an end in 2012. With his digital media production and management companies Super Creative and later, Attack Media, he would produce numerous irreverent series for networks like Syfy, including "Viral Video Showdown" (Syfy, 2012) and "The Playlist" (Vimeo, 2012); for many of these efforts, he also served as host, as well as on the syndicated game show "Let's Ask America" (2012-2015) and the podcast "Pointless" for Super Creative in 2012.

In 2014, he returned to the umbrella media format of "Attack of the Show" for "The Attack," a freeform gaming culture review interspersed with sketch comedy. He quickly followed this with "Hack My Life," a popular how-to series in which he and co-host Brooke Van Poppelen experimented with and reviewed time-saving techniques, or "life hacks," for a wide variety of situations.
