Chris Hardwick
Rise of the Nerdist
Chris Hardwick is on a mission. He wants to prove once and for all that being a nerd is nothing to be ashamed of; that one can live the “Nerdist” lifestyle without being a stereotypical geekwad. He’s doing this with stand-up comedy, writing for WIRED Magazine, writing horror movie soundtracks and starring in movies like Terminator 3 and House of 1000 Corpses. He's also the host of the new G4 program "Web Soup" which debuts Sunday at 9pm. The show is will take a look at the week's best viral videos and everything else that's hot on the web at the moment. Okay, that sounds a little nerdy too, but we're sure Chris will pull it off well. FACTOID – Chris began his nerdy lifestyle as a kid in the 90’s writing comedy songs about gadgets as part of the duo Hard ‘N Phirm. Tom Rhodes
All Rhodes Lead to ComedyA 20-year veteran of standup comedy, Tom Rhodes began his career in the Deep South, but knew he’d have to take his act to the coasts if he was ever to hit it big. Out in San Francisco, he was picked up by a then young Comedy Central to host the critically acclaimed show, Viva Vietnam. Later he was “discovered” by NBC and placed in an ill-fated show named Mr. Rhodes. The failure of his first sitcom is what led him to head overseas where he enjoyed huge success, doing standup in London and hosting a Tonight Show type program in Amsterdam
