  • Bartboy919, on 10/12/2007, -19/+2Why this in gaming? G4? if so = Bury
  • ipodman715, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Wow, a woman on TWiT!

    Is she going to be on this week's TWiT?
  • cfarmer8, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3so hot
    • djsputnik, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3if having a jaw like a post-op tranny is hot. . .
  • imabot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22I hate to admit it but that does remind me of bangbus...

    anyways, would be nice to see techtvers again
  • illeatyourbrain, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12She indeed has an impressive column in FHM...but not as impressive as mine from looking at the accompanying photos. I say goddamn!

    • STARTSOMETHING, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1find wallpapers of her NOW!!!!

      (I know google it yourself but im lazy)
  • uncledeercamp, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Only a matter of time before someone edits this to sound like Morgan's being talked in to doing a BJ video for a few bucks...
  • Noryn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2It may be jet lag but she doesnt look too excited or willing to join TWIT. It is ashame because she was great on The Screensavers and I still dont know why she left that job (which was a daily show) for a weekly game review show. I always thought she could have been freaked out when that guy I think hacked into Madonna's web page allowing direct download to her new songs and posting something like, "Morgan Webb, Will you marry me."

    She would be a great TWIT, and it is ashame to see such good talent being wasted on X play now where the script is so juvenile I cannot stand to watch it. I think it is Blair Butler but whoever the head of that show is now, all I can say is that they fit in with G4TV and it is obvious why they are sinking.


    • Ibox, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1MONEY
    • SpeedyG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What, you think TWIT panelists get paid? Most of the time it seems like "let's fire up the Skype and see who'll bite to ramble for an hour!"
  • tsupersonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I miss the good old days of techtv.
  • jdoc, on 10/12/2007, -23/+0Who's Leo laporte?
  • AMSRay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I agree, the title was misleading. They met in an airport by accident, and Leo attempted to recruit her, possibly as a joke because she seems to be doing very well on her own.
  • cquinnd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I think people are blowing this a little out of proportion.

    I'm sure Leo gave Morgan an invite to come on one of the shows for twit.tv, probably TWIT, but possible Net@Nite or even as a special guest on the Tech Guy; but there are a few things the enthusiastic commenters at leoville seem to overlook:

    Ms. Webb already has a show, a podcast, and a contractural agreement with G4 that may set restrictions on what other shows and or podcasts she could be involved with, especially with X-Play appearing to be one of the last vestiges of video game focused content to survive the G4Techtv "merger".

    The "gonzo" style of video recording has been around for decades, maybe you guys need some other examples of it to associate with?

    It's one thing to run into an old friend at the airport and jokingly make some comments on video with respect to your current jobs, and quite another to carry thru an "official" guest apperance.

    • imabot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2alright alright keep your pants on...
  • meopameopa, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3***** Morgan Webb, bring back Kate Botello.
  • marktastic, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1If only I knew what TWiT was
  • LoneCrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@shadow/live/stive

    I'd hit that. God damn. That was never on X-Play. But G4 probably will put those on air when they decide to ***** all the gadgets an games and go to full
    Spike! TV on us.
  • s0m31john, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0There is no doubt Morgan would be a great addition, but I hate to think of all the fanboys that will move over from G4 with her. *shudder*
  • ragamuffin2, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Leo Laporte is the biggest no nothing want-to-be-tech on TV. Digg me down you Leo fanboyz.
    • Floris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1As you wish.
    • GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1To be fair to him. Doesn't Laporte have a history of making rubbish predictions like that broadband would be irrelevant and that the iPod would fail. If he truly is a tech person then how many major projects has he been on. Or is he merely a journalist.
  • Perjorative, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0She's probably got some spare time, since FHM stopped publishing in the US.

  • kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2The way her elbow bends bothers me.
  • BigKenW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You know, it really does look like a bangbus video. I don't know what she was thinking when she went to X-Play. It turned her into a blabbering idiot (who writes for that show), Adam too. She was actually interesting when she was on The ScreenSavers. I think we can agree that the TechTV/G4 merger was the WORST in history.
  • kalii, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So did Morgan leave G4?
  • camintmier, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Morgan Webb + Bangbus = many keyboards needing cleaning
  • Damienz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1You idiots, your not supposed to jiz ON your keyboard, your supposed to jiz in your mouse ball to lubricate it.
  • STARTSOMETHING, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I'm sorry but G4 sucks when it was about video games i liked it now its old fox shows and wb shows

    Tech tv should have bought G4 then we may have still had a network dedicated to technology
  • fino35, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3megan morrone > morgan webb
  • CornrowWallace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1If she did join, would that make her a Titty TWiT-ster?
  • my10cent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks to me like she is trying to find a polite way to say NO
  • Alesir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@damienz

    Most of us use optical mice.

  • CAROL2589, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1omg it does look like a bangbus clip.
