Story
Attack of the Show! was a daily live show on G4 network that aired from 2005 to 2012. The show originally featured segments like "Judgment Day" and "Portal", focusing on gaming news, reviews, and entertainment. However, around mid-season 2008-2009, the format changed significantly. Popular hosts Corey Rouse was replaced by Kristin Holt (Adams), which some viewers perceived as a 'sex sells' tactic to attract more sponsors. The show began to focus less on gaming and more on pop culture, tech news, and celebrity interviews. This shift attracted a wider audience but was controversial among hardcore gamers who felt the change diluted the network's original purpose.
