Why is pereira leaving aots

But you've really ended up changing your whole life it seems. KP: Yeah. No, that's fair. Look, I love anything that blinks or bleeps or bloops. I love tech.

It permeates every sense of my being and even while away from it. Deciding to sell the house and go mobile and see the world a little bit more, at least see the country and meet interesting folks has been a real, just eye-opening, amazing experience. But the entire time I've been fretting about which LTE modem is the right one to hack and which SIM card is going to give me the most gigabits, and like "Oh, which In Command system is best for Bluetooth monitoring of my grade tank systems.

I got rid of a Tesla and I got a diesel truck so that's a negative one for the environment and I feel a little bit bad about that. But on the other hand, it has a 19 speaker sound system and cameras, which I can tell you all about.

So it's like my apple hasn't fallen too far from my tree. I'm still hanging out in the same wheelhouse. CB: With that big life change in mind and the fact that you perhaps had the best separation from the old G4 compared to some of the other hosts and employees, was there any hesitancy from you to come back to this new iteration?

Or did you just think it might be better to leave that chapter of your life in the past? KP: When it was announced, I mean, I got excited. Part of me was equally surprised it took this long for it to come back. Anytime you seem to get more than like five like-minded nerds or hyper passionate folks get together about anything, they would always reminisce so positively about G4.

They'd always come out with, "Oh I miss this show," or " Oh, E3's coming around again and I wish that team was there doing it again. And so, I was like, "Why hasn't it come back? And then when it came back, there was definitely that moment of like, "Oh man, I'd love to play again.

I'd love to be involved but I'm in such a different space. Would I even belong? And what would I have to say? Because again, like I said, there are personal and professional insecurities that permeate everything because I'm a human being and, spoiler, flawed.

But when I said, "Okay, let's do it", and saw the script and we showed up on the day, it all melted away. It really was like the band was back together and we all played our part and it sounded good. There weren't any rusty solos. We had a good time. And from then on, I was like, "Oh, that's right.

This is an amazing thing. It was an amazing time. And a common refrain has been if I could go back and do it all again. There's that lustful, "Oh, man, if I knew then what I know now. In fact, the kind of opportunity that people don't ever get in their lifetime. And now to get a chance to suit up or strap in, whatever analogy you want to go with, and do that again with what we know now. Yeah, sign me up.

I think that's what I said, and I think I got signed up. I think they bought it. Now I know the power and the privilege that comes with a show and a platform.

It's a chance to refine comedy, to discover what coverage of the same old topics, but in a new presentation and style would be today. A chance to raise a new generation of talent under the same banner that we helped grow.

I get all tingly in ways that I will not describe to you. But about that privilege and opportunity, because it really is. The ability to try it again is really fantastic. CB: You briefly talked about the reunion special that you were part of that released last year.

What did you think about the fan reaction to that with it being the biggest piece of new G4 content that has released so far? KP: When we filmed that thing it all felt natural and great. And at the end of the day, we're like, "Well, okay. We'll see how it cuts.

We'll see how it goes. We live to fight another day. We'll do another one tomorrow. So I got the chance to watch it live. We pulled over at a rest stop, because after the reunion special, we did a little live hit as well on the other side of it. So we were literally in the parking lot of an I-5 restaurant. I was coming in hot. It was at two frames a second because again, boonies with an LTE modem. I mean, I was so genuinely cool because, from frame one you had, I could see the fans, like yourself, that had watched before that recognized the winks and the nods here and there and it still resonated.

I came across AOTS pretty late. I believe it was in a friend from work, knowing I was obsessed with Gadgetry and Comic Books asked if I watched Attack of the Show. He told me a little about, said it was on G4 and to give it a shot. I loved the show. The chemistry between everyone was great.

I loved everything about the show. I am glad to say I was wrong. I liked the new chemistry they brought to the table. Now, it appears again the show will be going through a big change. No doubt the biggest in years. And even though Kevin is going to be missed. The show is so much bigger than a single host. The material and writing involved in the show are phenominal. Whoever the showrunner is on AOTS I have no doubt they will continue to deliver relevent material to us day in and day out.
