Didn’t know he did something on Screen Savers. But I seem to remember the show being much older than what they mention.

He was literally on air talent lol

Yeah he was on Screen Savers with Sarah Lane (who he dated) and then Alex Albrecht. TechTV was bought by G4 and Screen Savers became Attack of the Show. While at TechTV, he started digg and actually advertised it on the Screen Savers, without clarifying that he was the owner (sneaky). Later, G4 fired all the Tech TV staff, so Kevin worked on digg full time. He went on to start diggnation podcast with Alex Albrecht — which they’ve recently brought back. As many know, when digg v4 launched, it was widely rejected, and the site lost its user base to Reddit. Now he’s trying to revive it with one of the Reddit cofounders after more than a decade.

I distinctly remember the two Kevins as hosts around the time I watched G4TV. I ended up playing a game called Blockland for years after they showed it on air. Somehow I never realized Kevin Rose went on to become that Kevin Rose.

I still call him the Dark Tipper

I used to be in a constant state of amazement that there was a cable TV channel dedicated to gaming. Screen savers was such a fun show.

Used screen savers to bootstrap digg by free advertising
