Game On is a game show that aired as part of G4's original 13-show line-up.[2] It was filmed all over the country[3] as the hosts invite people off the street to compete against each other in video games. The hosts, Randy Kagan and Matt Gallant,[4] would choose a side and then the losing host would be humiliated[5][6] (normally in public). The Game On crew included producer Don Handfield, production manager Keith Worthington, associate producer Brian Mayer, production assistant Michael Leffler, and production associate Nicki La Rosa.[5]

Game On shot fourteen episodes and then was canceled after creator and producer Don Handfield left G4 to pursue a career in film. The final episode aired on November 6, 2002.
