Morgan Ailis Webb (born October 5, 1978 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is co-host
and senior segment producer of the G4 (formerly G4TechTV) television program
X-Play with Adam Sessler, and the "Gaming Goddess" of FHM, where she
contributes a monthly video game column. She previously appeared on The
Screen Savers on TechTV.
Morgan was born in Toronto, however, she and her family moved to Los Angeles,
California soon after. As a result, she holds dual-citizenship between
America and Canada. As an infant and small child, Webb appeared in
advertisements for Gerber baby food, Kenner Toys, and most famously, an ad
for McDonald's, where she recited the ingredients of the Big Mac to a game
of Pattycake. Ironically, Webb's parents refused to let her watch television
as a child, so she made up for lost hours of television time by playing
video games. She began with an Atari, primarily the game Combat, but as
technology progressed, The Legend of Zelda and Phantasy Star became two of
her favorite games.

Webb graduated from North Hollywood High School in 1996 with Highly Gifted
Magnet honors. After graduating high school, she left home to attend UC
Berkeley. While there, she earned a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and a
minor in Italian.
Webb developed computer skills in her free time at Berkeley, and after
graduating from college, worked for a dot-com company as a website
administrator. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst
of 2000, her friend Catherine Schwartz pulled her in at TechTV in 2001 and
she became employed as an associate producer of The Screen Savers. Thanks to
her extremely vast self-taught knowledge of computers and technology, she
was quickly promoted to an on-screen member of the program where she
presented daily in-depth segments dealing with Microsoft Windows and Linux
operating systems, and on select occasions hosted the show herself. In April
2003, Webb left The Screen Savers to co-host X-Play with Adam Sessler.
In April 2004, Webb, along with fellow TechTV personalities Sarah Lane,
Laura Swisher, Catherine Schwartz and Melanie Kim, was included in the
"TechTV's Sexiest Techie" poll sponsored by Playboy magazine. TechTV viewers
could vote for their favorite girl via the Playboy website, and the winner
of the poll would be offered a nude photo spread in a future issue of
Playboy. Webb won the poll, and despite being "very flattered" by the photo
shoot offer, she immediately refused, citing her own personal reasons, as
well as her parents' objection to the idea.
Throughout 2004, Webb was featured in numerous issues of FHM and Maxim
magazines.
Webb has appeared in the music video Strange New Element from the band Low
Water. She makes her appearance near the end of the video alongside other
fellow TechTV personalities, including Catherine Schwartz, Sarah Lane, Laura
Swisher, Chi-Lan Lieu and Sumi Das. In addition to appearing in Low Water's
music video, Morgan is also featured in the artwork of the band's album,
Hard Words In A Speakeasy.
Webb is one of only six TechTV personalities, including Adam Sessler, Sarah
Lane, Chi-Lan Lieu, Kevin Rose, and Brendan Moran, to survive the massive
layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV.
Webb currently resides in her second hometown of Los Angeles. |
