Dave and Steve’s Video Game Explosion was one of television’s first video-game review shows. In November 2001, it began airing on TBS (Turner Broadcasting System) as well as the Burly Bear TV network and later was part of a one hour time slot.[1] The show gained a cult following and Dave & Steve even made it on to Entertainment Weekly's 2002 It List.[2]

The comedy-based variety show was hosted by two accomplished comedy writers, David Mandel (Cat in the Hat, Eurotrip, Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live, and Steve Lookner (Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live). VGE was produced by Jack Helmuth and Shawn Valine. The main writers were Craig Digregorio(Da Ali G Show) and James Eagan.

Between game reviews the hosts often mocked their sponsor, SoBe, or abused their cheerleader Tiffany Holiday.[3]

It was produced by the Burly Bear Network (also known as Burly TV), a college television network headed by Lorne Michaels.[1]
