Cheat!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cheat! is a TV show on G4 (formerly G4techTV) and Jack TV that provides cheat codes, strategies, and other hidden features for video games. The show is hosted by Kristin Holt, who replaced original host Cory Rouse in November 2004; Rouse was one of the many people involved in the massive firings that resulted from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV.

Originally, a single episode of Cheat! would contain segments for various recently released video games. The show then began to focus on one game per episode, except for the occasional "Viewer's Request."

In the Cheat! Forums on July 6, 2006, Cheat! producer Jeremy Hoffmann confirmed that Cheat! is off hiatus and coming back soon [1], with Holt returning as the host. Along with this announcement of Cheat! coming back, they are also asking for new Viewer Request for the new episodes.

The first new episode of Cheat! aired on August 21, 2006. It contained both new strategies and codes previously revealed during G4's "G-Spot" interstitial segments. Subsequent episodes have exclusively featured new tips, including walkthroughs and codes requested on the Cheat! message boards.

[edit] Cheat Interstitials

The show returned to its previous format of discussing multiple video games per episode.The show went on hiatus in January, 2006. On April 3, 2006, Cheat! made a slight return to G4, not as a full-length show, but as a one-minute segment called "The G-Spot", shown during commercial breaks. On April 17, 2006, new editions of the Cheat! segment began running, with X-Play's Morgan Webb replacing Holt as the host. Some fans feared that Holt was gone and the show was being cancelled, but however, on June 5, 2006, new segments aired with Holt as the host, taped on the Attack of the Show set.{this statement is now obsolete}Cheat is now airing, still with Holt as the host. A joke about Wikipedia was once made, saying that it had developed into an AI.
