"After more than a decade on the air, host Kevin Pereira is leaving G4TV's Attack of the Show. Attack will celebrate Pereira’s contribution to G4 with a month-long look back at his most memorable comedy sketches, interviews, and hilarious off-the-cuff moments from the show. The Pereira-palooza will culminate on May 31, his final day on AOTS, before Pereira delivers his final live, on-location coverage for the gaming world's biggest event, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), from June 4-7. In other words: Kevin’s going out large.

“For the last ten years, G4 has provided me a phenomenal career filled with countless once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and the chance to work with some of the most driven, talented and passionate people in the business,” said Pereira. “I want to thank our viewers for allowing me to inform and entertain them each and every week.”

Pereira started at G4 in 2002 as a lowly production assistant, but leveled-up to co-host of Attack of the Show! by 2006. Along with AOTS, Kevin was a staple of G4's extensive live coverage from the world’s largest nerd-gatherings, including E3 CES and Comic-Con as well as countless trips to exotic locations all over the world for various pop culture related events and happenings.

Pereira says he plans to continue creating television shows, interactive applications and live experiences. “I plan to turn my attention to full-time with my production company Super Creative and live touring nerd-carnival leetUP," Pereira said.

There’s only a limited amount of Pereira to go around, so you really should check out Attack of the Show! between now and May 31. It's on every weekday at 7PM ET. And don’t dare miss our E3 2012 coverage."

I couldn't stand Sessler, he always looked like he was uncomfortable and out of place in front of the camera, so much so that it made me feel uncomfortable to watch him...

Well there goes my last reason to watch the show. I already didn't like it as much without Olivia, but Kevin still made it somewhat enjoyable. Don't care for Candace at all really, and I'm sure whoever they bring in to replace Kevin won't be a good fit for the show either.

Didn't know Sessler was leaving, but I stopped watching X-Play quite a while ago, though I still love Morgan (been a fan of hers since The Screensavers).

I didn't like Sessler because he kept saying "ness" and "sness" instead of NES and SNES. He earned the nickname Snessler.

I didn't even know Sessler left. lol. I liked Kevin as a host for AOTS. I guess when Olivia Munn and Allison Haislip left, it's all but gone downhill.
