"I
am uber-excited to be a part of the Nerdist team! Nerdist News is
incredibly fun and I think our viewers will not only enjoy the content
we cover but the hilarious sketches and personality we're bringing to
the show," said Chobot.
“I adore Chobot. We worked together for years at G4,” said Chris Hardwick, founder and CEO of Nerdist Industries. “She is not only an excellent host who happens to be hilarious, but when it comes to gaming and the pop culture sphere Nerdist inhabits, she is the REAL DEAL. Ever since we started the channel, I’ve wanted to expand into daily news and Jessica is the PERFECT human to take us in this new direction.”
Nerdist News is a big step forward for the Nerdist Channel, a premium YouTube channel that streams original and partner content touching all facets of popular and genre culture, from comedy and cosplay to gaming and comic books. Shooting in the mornings and airing in the afternoon, the bite-sized, 3-5 minute episodes will feature original content, comedy sketches, reviews and more.
The programs will also include calls to action for extended scenes and more content on the Nerdist.com website, YouTube channel, or podcast. Filmed at the Nerdist studios in Burbank, CA, the show will be produced by Chobot, director Andrew Bowser and Michael Shaw, former producer on G4’s “Attack of the Show.”
