Adam Sessler is best known as the witty-humored co-host of the G4 (formerly G4techTV) television program X-Play (formerly Gamespot TV and Extended Play) with Morgan Webb. He was born in Berkeley, California and is a graduate of UCLA with a bachelor's degree in English literature and education. He was previously a credit analyst for a multinational financial institution in San Francisco and an actor on the San Francisco public access television show Chip Weigh Magnet Down.
Sessler is one of only four TechTV personalities, including Sarah Lane, Morgan Webb, and Kevin Rose, to survive the massive layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV. Kevin Rose has since left the network.
On April 1, 2005, Sessler confused many by announcing he was leaving X-Play to host a late night talk show on G4 entitled Meet the Sess. A trailer of the new show aired on X-Play, showing Sessler verbally and physically abusing his guests until they revealed information on upcoming video games. Despite being extremely over the top and obviously fake, many people began flooding the G4 forums asking when the show would air and if Sessler was really leaving X-Play. Sessler has since publicly announced on several occasions that the show was infact an April Fool's Day joke. Regardless, many people are still awaiting the show's release.
Sessler currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
