No.4 Olivia Munn
Though it#DY#s hard to imagine her as anything but a geek goddess, Olivia Munn started out her career as an actress and a sportscaster. Olivia#DY#s appearances in low-rent, straight-to-video titles like Scarecrow Gone Wild and The Road to Canyon Lake led to a gig as an on-air reporter for FOX Sports Net, where she first became aware of her desire to pursue work as a television personality. In 2006, Olivia successfully auditioned to replace Sarah Lane as cohost of G4#DY#s popular Attack of the Show program and became an instant hit among viewers thanks to her seemingly effortless on-camera charisma (and her eye-candy status didn#DY#t hurt her cause either). She has since worked on various other shows and podcasts for the network, and she#DY#s currently prepping for a return to the world of acting with appearances in a pair of theatrical releases (including Rob Schneider#DY#s directorial debut, Big Stan).
No.3 Jessica Chobot
When a coy modeling photo of Jessica Chobot licking the Sony PSP appeared online, she became an overnight internet sensation. Fondling the PSP turned out to be a genius career move for Jessica Chobot, and it didn#DY#t take long for her to abandon her modeling career in favor of the other opportunities that were opening up for her in video game and entertainment journalism. The anime-obsessed Chobot, who goes by the gamer handle The Baroness, has contributed to FHM UK, Mania.com, and has appeared numerous times on G4#DY#s "Filter" and "Attack of the Show." She also hosted a video game preview segment for Fuel TV#DY#s "The Daily Habit." In 2006, IGN hired Chobot to host the network#DY#s IGN Weekly show, where she appears in both studio segments and "on-the-street" pieces. She also currently writes for the IGN website, and her blog is one of the most popular on the site. She is a weekly guest on Maxim Radio, where she answers caller questions for an hour every Monday. As if all that#DY#s not enough, she is currently penning a script with TRON writer Steven Lisberger, titled Soul Code and slated for release in 2009.
No.2 Morgan Webb
Born in Toronto, Canada, Morgan Webb#DY#s prowess within the tech sector has become legendary over the last few years, hence her inclusion as one of the hottest women in tech. She got a job as a website administrator straight out of college and followed that up with a stint as a producer and web researcher on TechTV#DY#s The Screen Savers program. Morgan#DY#s girl-next-door looks and bubbly personality quickly led to recurring on-air appearances as one of the show#DY#s computer experts, and because of her increasing popularity with viewers it wasn#DY#t long before Morgan was being asked to guest host the series on select occasions. She landed a gig as cohost of TechTV#DY#s X-Play series, and parlayed her burgeoning success into a stint as a video-game columnist for FHM magazine. Morgan can currently be seen videoblogging on a daily basis for WebbAlert, where she runs down the most prominent and interesting tech-related tidbits of the moment.
