Kevin Rose

Robert Kevin Rose (born

After the dot-com Stock market bubble burst, Rose was hired as a technical production assistant for The Screen Savers . He eventually began appearing on the show, most notably in Dark Tip segments, where he provided information on unscrupulous Computing activities. He sometimes filled in for the regular show hosts, and eventually became a full-time host after Leo Laporte left TechTV.

On May 22, 2005, Rose announced on his weblog that he had been released from his contract with G4. He left the network to create Revision3 Studios and focus full-time on thebroken , a videozine he had created with Dan Huard which features questionable activities, such as password cracking and Social engineering (computer security), and Systm , a videozine which closely resembles older technology-oriented formats of The Screen Savers . May 27, 2005 marked his last day of work at G4 and final appearance on Attack of the Show! . He soon will be making his return to television with his recently announced bi-weekly appearences on Call for Help (television_program) with Leo Laporte.

Rose was one of only six TechTV personalities, including Adam Sessler, Morgan Webb, Sarah Lane, Chi-Lan Lieu, and Brendan Moran, to survive the massive layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV.
