[edit] Biography
While in high school, Pereira hosted Pointless Audio under the pseudonym Captain Immy.[2] The show featured many prank calls and was hosted on such gaming sites as Planet Quake and ShugaShack (now Shacknews); it later evolved into Pointless TV, and finally LickMySweaty.com.[2] One of the projects featured on the latter site, a short film created for his video production class at Deer Valley High School, earned him three California Media Festival awards in 2001.[3] A different film project was recognized in 2002.[4] He studied film and television production with a scholarship to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California for one semester.[2]
After working as a network administrator at an internet service provider for five years and also at a television network, he pursued a career at G4.[2] He started as a production assistant on the talk show G4tv.com, then moved on to Arena and Pulse and then quickly moved to another G4 show, The Screen Savers, in 2004.[5] Pereira is a co-host of Attack of the Show!, G4's live tech info show, and is the only original cast member remaining. He co-hosted the show for a year with Sarah Lane, who left in 2006, followed by Olivia Munn, who left in 2010. In 2011 Candace Bailey joined Pereira as cohost.[6]
