Olivia Munn Will Remain on "ATTACK OF THE SHOW"

For the two people who care...

I was watching G4's coverage of Comic-Con today, hosted by Attack of the Show co-hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn. Olivia had been MIA from AOTS for a few months while Kevin co-hosted with a steady rotation of surrogates, never really commenting on the fact that Olivia took a very high-profile job as a Daily Show correspondent.

She returned co-hosting AOTS this past week, still never explicitly commenting about her future with the show on-air. Although every article written about her joining The Daily Show seemed to credit her hosting "a video game show" as something in the past tense. In addition to the fact that she's been doing movies and has new recurring role on NBC's CHUCK.

Well, closing out the G4 coverage of Comic-Con, Olivia confirmed that while she's very busy doing a lot of dream projects right now, she helped build AOTS with Kevin, the show will always be her home and she would CONTINUE to co-host as often as she possibly can. Until G4 wrenches the keys from her hands.

It's a little weird for me because, while I don't often watch an ENTIRE episode anymore, I've probably watched AOTS more consistently than any other live/variety/entertainment show for the past few years now. The interplay between Kevin and Olivia has really made the show work—to the point where I started automatically erasing an episode if either Kevin or Olivia was out.

Even if she won't be on as often, she gets major geek-cred for sticking around.
