Morgan Webb (born October 5, 1978 in Canada) is co-host of the G4 (formerly G4techTV) television program X-Play with Adam Sessler. She previously appeared on The Screen Savers.
Morgan'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, especially the game Combat, but as technology progressed, The Legend of Zelda and Phantasy Star became two of her favorite games.
Morgan graduated from North Hollywood High School Highly Gifted Magnet in 1995. After high school, she left home to attend UC Berkeley. While there, she earned a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and a minor in Italian.
After graduating college, Morgan began working for a dot-com company doing website administration. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst of 2000, she became employed at TechTV in 2001 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 tips for Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, and on select occasions hosted the show herself. In May 2003, Morgan left The Screen Savers to co-host X-Play with Adam Sessler.
Morgan is one of only four TechTV personalities, including Adam Sessler, Sarah Lane, 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.
Morgan has been featured in FHM and Maxim magazines. She was chosen as one of the one-hundred sexiest women in the world by FHM and rated thirty-nine on Maxim's 2004 fifty most eligible women in the world list.
