Dave and Steve's Video Game Explosion was a television video-game review show. In November 2001, it began airing on TBS (Turner Broadcasting System) as well as the Burly Bear TV network and later was part of a one-hour time slot. [1] Dave & Steve were listed on Entertainment Weekly's It List in 2002. [2]

The comedy-based variety show was hosted by two accomplished comedy writers, David Mandel (Cat in the Hat , Eurotrip , Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live ) and Steve Lookner ( Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live ). VGE was produced by Jack Helmuth and Shawn Valine. The main writers were Craig Digregorio ( Da Ali G Show ) and James Eagan.[ citation needed ]

Between game reviews the hosts often mocked their sponsor, SoBe, or abused their cheerleader Tiffany Holiday. [3]

The show was produced by the Burly Bear Network (also known as Burly TV), a college television network headed by Lorne Michaels. [1]
