Brendan Moran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brendan Moran (born July 16, 1976 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American television personality best known for his work as a co-host and field reporter on the G4 television program Attack of the Show! (formerly The Screen Savers). Moran previously worked as a producer for TechTV on TechLive and Fresh Gear.

Moran attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

On Attack of the Show!, Moran was best known for his field reports on trivial, and often, cult-like conventions, such as the "Hard liquor and Porn Festival", although he also covered more serious technology events. He was often portrayed as a pathetic alcoholic, although he also had a recurring James Bond-like tech review segment (as "Agent Triple O") and had his own Shaft-like theme song about his prowess with the ladies ("Ladies love the man, but they just don't understand, he's Brendan Moran...") His Chicago-esque "sooooo"'s and his perpetual gum-chewing were often affectionately imitated by the show's other hosts, much to Moran's seeming annoyance. He also did sketches called "Brendan Moran's Book Club", in which he hosted a bookclub composed of women who were too busy gossiping to discuss the tech and sci-fi books Moran attempted to introduce, much to his annoyance. In the final segment, it was revealed that the women were just waiting for Moran to leave so they could discuss the books, much to his annoyance.

Moran loves fishing in his spare time. It runs deep in his family and he even came in 13th place in the Kabetogama Summer 2005 Fishing Contest in Lake Kabetogama, Minnesota.

Moran married Sarah Lane on May 20th 2006. In April, both left Attack of the Show! and began a thirteen-month long honeymoon tour of the world and to pursue other opportunities. [1] Their last day on the show was April 6.
