Morgan Ailis Webb
AKA:
Webbie, Morgan Von Webb, Morgan Reid, The Gaming Goddess
Best known for being an on-air personality on the G4 network, formally know as TechTV and G4TechTV, Morgan Webb has become an icon in the video gaming industry. She is one of the industry's most well known female reviewers and gamers, which makes her a role model to some, an object of desire to others, and a source of criticism to a few. People question if she can really be considered a journalist, or an unbiased reviewer, but at the end of the day, Morgan is still one of the most recognized and respected faces at G4. Her notoriety not only has gotten her a television hosting job, but sheMore is also one of the main personalities that G4 sends out to cover big events in the video gaming industry (E3, The Toyko Gaming Show, Offical Game Console Release Events).





As a child, Morgan's parents refused to let her watch television, so she made up for lost hours of television time by playing video games. She began with Atari, and began by beoming an expert in Combat, as technology progressed, The Legend of Zelda and Phantasy Star became two of her favorite games.





Morgan graduated from North Hollywood High School in 1996, with Highly Gifted Magnet honors. After graduating high school, she left home to attend UC Berkeley. While there, she earned a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and a minor in Italian.





After graduating college, Morgan began working for a dot-com company as a website administrator. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst of 2000, she became employed at TechTV in 2001 as an associate producer of The Screen Savers. Thanks to her extremely vast self-taught knowledge of computers and technology, she was quickly promoted to an on-screen member of the program where she presented daily in-depth segments dealing with Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, and on select occasions hosted the show herself. In May 2003, Morgan left The Screen Savers to co-host X-Play with Adam Sessler. While she still hosts the show, she has also worked on podcasts on G4 as well as her own called Webb Alert.

    One of the best TV hosts out there, and hot too. hide show

    Morgan Webb is a tv host on G4tv's Extended Play/X-Play. She is a co-host with Adam Sessler. She is known for strong burns on insanely bad games, and sometimes good. She's even hilarious on her comedy sketches on X-Play. (Especially the one with the monkey on the X-Play set)She even made guest apperances on mini cheat sections during commercial breaks, and she and Adam Sessler, even talk with Kevin Periera and Olivia Munn on the monday videogame talk on Attack of the Show. I even remember an old sketch of her and Tina Wood having a rivalry against each other. Overall, Morgan Webb is a really hilarious host, and shes really gorgeous.

    2.2 Terrible
    She used to be cool, but in recent times she has turned lame. hide show

    I was once a fan of Morgan Webb. She seemed charming, talented, and gorgeous. She was one of the reasons why I'd watched the show 'X-Play' regularly up until a year and a half ago. But ever since she got married to some middle-aged executive guy who runs the Rhapsody website (named Rob Reid), all her appeal has gone straight out the window. She no longer has any regard for her fans or show any feeling onscreen (i.e. she now comes on like a soulless shell of her former self).

    If I did this review some 2-3 years ago, she probably would have scored a 9.0+. As she is now, I ought to give her a 1. But since she used to be cool way back when, I decided to give her a 2.2.

    She is talented, always witty like her costar and does a great job of representing the video games she reviews. hide show

    I've always enjoyed her wit, even if no one knows what her off camera persona is really like... or at least not anymore. She used to seem less hollywood, though now she comes across as lacking personality. She has none of her old charm and can come across as a drone more often than not. At least lately her wardrobe is improving, she had lacked a sexy fashion sense but seems to be recovering somewhat from that. At E3 07 she was so drone like I felt sorry for her. And Xplay is not on six or seven times a day like it used to. I've been quite an admirer of hers but can not help to comment about what she has become.

    9.9 Superb
    Morgan Webb is the godess of gaming, the epitomy of gamers and men alike. hide show

    Morgan Webb is a gaming godess. She can be gorgeous, geeky, informative, and strong all at the same exact time. Morgan is most notable for hosting a show called X-play on the television network G4. Morgan and her co-host, adam Sessler rank videogames on a scale of 1-5. Morgan is originally from Canada. On X-play Morgan shows a geeky passion for video games and that is what makes her so inhuman. Morgan's talent is truly one of a kind. No other woman on television does what she does. She is not afraid to show her passions while keeping it real.

    Her cheek bone is more manly then Arnold Schwagner's. hide show

    I dont like Morgan Web and you should not like her. She's an ignorant diva who is ugly. I wouldn't mind or care but her attitude doesn't match her appearance. Her cheek bone is more manly then Arnold Schwagner's. Her Diva attitude is noticeable when she is interviewing people and doing her poor job on X-Play. Morgan Webb also has no talent. Anyone can write a review if they have an opinion but only a few can write a good review. She writes standard reviews and is a host on a low budget show. I dont see her making games or establishing history with game companies and all she does is run her mouth. For someone who is not well known through mainstream Television she has an attitude like she's some sort of goddess .
