Adam Sessler is co-host of the G4 (formerly TechTV) television program X-Play (formerly Gamespot TV and Extended Play) with Morgan Webb. Born in Berkeley, California, Sessler graduated from El Cerrito High School in 1991 and is a graduate of UCLA with a bachelor's degree in English literature and education. He was previously a credit analyst for a multinational Fortune 500 financial institution in San Francisco, and an actor on the San Francisco public access television show Chip Weigh Magnet Down, which he also helped create. Adam admits that he is grateful he does not work for a Fortune 500More company anymore, saying in The X-Play Insider's Guide to Gaming that he was "very sad" about the job. Also, he says he got his job at Gamespot TV after his friend's girlfriend's roomate suggested that he attend the host audition.



Sessler is one of only six TechTV personalities, including Morgan Webb, Sarah Lane, Kevin Rose, Chi-Lan Lieu, and Brendan Moran, to survive the massive layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV. Additionally, Sessler is the only original personality from ZDTV remaining on the network, surviving the network's complete progression from ZDTV (1998-2001) to TechTV (2001-2004) to G4.

    Adam Sessler was born august 29th one day AFTER my birthday. Adam Sessler is the Co-Host of X-Play One of my all time favorite shows. Morgan Webb is the host but Adam should be the host cause he is WAY more funnier. If Adam Sessler ran for president I whould Vote for him even if they whouldn't let me! Adam Sessler should have his own show! Morgan whould be the co-host cause without morgan theres no on screen chemistry!

    Favorite G4 Host. hide show

    He's really funny, all of his episodes are cool. My friend once sat next to him on a plane. He rocks. The only thing is, he should've been a bigger star. Like SPIKE or a channel that's a little be more well known. He should be hosting Sweat, or a Show Like That. He's really to funny to stay on G4. He should be on a better show, but I guess that the G4 channel really is good for him, but honestly he is really holding himself back. Although G4 is great X-Play should be on SPIKE or something. Maybe G4 should become channel 27 or 26 or something lower so that more people can access it and he could become a bigger star!!!

    Adam Sessler is a very funny person and my favorite G4 host. hide show

    Adam Sessler is a very funny person. he can take anything and turn it into a joke. He does great voices and reviews. That being said he doesn't always give fair reviews. He is always picked on in the office scenes. Adam is just as good as Morgan Webb. Don't get me wrong Morgan Webb is a terrific actress and I think she is almost as good as Adam, but she falls down to my second favorite host on G4. Lastly, Adam during x Play takes the show in such a funny way, but during the E3 special he was serious. Great Actor!

    The second best host on G4. hide show

    Other than Morgan Webb, the best host on G4. Adam Sessler is maybe the funniest person I've ever seen. He can make a good joke about almost anything. Along with Morgan Webb, Adam Sessler forms the best team of hosts on G4(maybe in the world). Make sure to watch X-Play.
