Ok, you were right! I’m joining Tekzilla!
Apr 9, 2008 Author: Veronica | Filed under: news, video, work
Most of you guessed that one of my new projects was over at Revision3 as the new co-host of Tekzilla with Patrick Norton. And yes, you are correct! In fact, I was over there yesterday shooting for Friday’s episode. As I’ve said before, I love working with everyone over there, and I think it’s going to be a blast.
However, there’s still another project that I can’t say anything about just yet! A girl’s gotta have her secrets, right?

[...] found out today that V’s heading to Revision3 to do Tekzilla — but that’s only one of her two new regular post-Mahalo gigs. But besides the other thing (which is equally if not more awesome) did I mention she also had a [...]
Fantastic news. I think that’s a great fit!
Congrats Veronica. Perfect fit
Congrats, Veronica! All the best!
Awesome!
Congrats on the new gig
we all saw it coming V!
congrats!
yeah! that’s awesome. you’ll make an uber techzilla. grrrrr!
Congratulations! I’m sure you’re going to rock it!
Congrats, V! I guess Revision3’s domination of all the tech talent is almost complete. I also think that your exodus from Mahalo to join Rev3 will be seen in a much more positive light than when you left BOL. I wish you much success and happiness!
I’d never have guessed.
Congratulations!
Woo Hoo! Two of my favorite podcast personalties joining forces! Heaven is smiling on me.
Congratz, looking forward to the new Tekzilla episode’s!
Hey. Congrats! Revision3 studios are in San Fran too. Much shorter drive to work.
Congrats and best of luck!
I think this will fit like a glove (isn’t that what Apple says about Macs?) Can’t wait to see it! Extremely excited for you, Veronica. Looks like I’ll have to subscribe to Tekzilla now.
Congrats!! As soon as you posted that on twitter i thought to myself “That’s a great fit” Patrick seems like he would be fun to work with!! Can’t wait for some new stuff…
Good fit, great mix, and a good place to be. You will definitely enhance Tekzilla! I look forward to seeing on Friday!
I KNEW it!!!
Congrats Veronica. Now you have to go on TWiT to PR your move.
*heads off to iTunes to cancel subscription to Mahalo Daily and subscribe to Tekzilla*
As an old DL.TV watcher, I quit when Patrick quit, but could never really get into Tekzilla. I guess it just needed that extra Veronica punch!
So, you will be working for Kevin Rose now!
Congratulations, Veronica. I truthfully cannot tell you how excited I am to see you back into technology full-swing. Tekzilla just got even better, and this seems like a perfect fit. I cannot wait to see all the great content you guys put out.
Looking forward to hearing about your second surprise.
Congrats. Looking forward to your first show.
[...] other blogs that she would be making the move. However, she is still keeping one project a secret.read more | digg [...]
Congrats!
No massive surprise, but very happy it is no longer a rumor. I look forward to some great new shows over at rev3!
Doooope! Can’t wait to see..
I had a feeling this was one of your new projects.
Congrats and good luck. I can’t wait to see the newest ep.
Congrats. You seemed at home on the show, even as a guest.
Congratulations V! We all called it! You and Patrick are a great fit!
I totally called you on that one! Congratulations!
Great news! Out of all the guest co-hosts tekzilla has had recently, you were the best. I can’t imagine a better choice for a co-host than you.
Congrats! Looking forward to the show.
Wonderful news Veronica and another great fit. Come by the show and talk about it soon.
Oh sweet!
Yeah, perfect fit. I’ll be watching tekzilla a lot more now.
I was right on the money

I knew you were going to Rev3! And you’re so much easier on the eyes than Chang
Congrats. I’ll pop open a beer and toast you from Chicago. Now go edit your “About” section.
congrats, Tek-ronica. Keep P. Norton in line :-;
Great news! Can’t wait to hear about gig #2. Congratulations.
Congrats Veronica. Perfect choice.
Yay! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Hopefully the next TWiT with Veronica and Calacanis won’t be too awkward though.
Woo! Looks as if I’ll be giving Tekzilla another go in my subscriptions.
Hey Veronica! CONGRATULATIONS ALL AROUND!
best of luck!
call patrick out whenever he does a voiceover impression or define something as a ‘good thing’ or ‘bad thing’
thank you for calling him out on that ‘abso-smurfly’ last time. that was awesome. made lemonade outta lemons.
now there’s a balance in the force.
cheers!
Awesome news! Congratulations, Veronica! Really looking forward to it.
Congrats, I’ll still watch Mahalo as I still listen to BOL and have always watched Tekzilla - someday you’ll be a host on TWiT Live perhaps
[SPOILER ALERT]
[SPOILER ALERT]
[SPOILER ALERT]
I know V’s next project.
Coming in 2009 Baby “Bel-Block”!
No? Ok, I give up…
Congrats! Tekzilla just got a bazillion times better!
Gr8 move. I always thought mahalo lacked a tech focus. As a fan of bol, indigital & then tekzilla, this fits in exactly with your finest gifts. Awesome.
Dangit! Now I have ANOTHER can’t-miss podcast to add in iTunes. You + Patrick = much awesomeness.
Congratulations.
Are you going to be getting involved in Pop Siren too?
YAY! I Love Revision3 and think you will make a great addition. Good luck Veronica!
Does this mean you’ll be cohosting the weekly Tekzillas only? Or will you also be splitting the shorter daily Tekzilla episodes with Patrick?
Woot! You rock, Veronica! Congratulations on the move!
By the way, I second the new nickname for you: Tek’Ronica!
Now all you need at Revision 3 is to have Leo Laporte to join the family
This is great news! You and Patrick work together really well and I really think you will add a great persona to the show.
Thank you for making Tekzilla an even better show than it already is and have fun!
Veronica… I love you girl! So happy that you’ve made the move to Revision3… I figured you’d be a better fit over there than at Mahalo. All of your fans are so excited for you!
Veronica
Congratulations– everybody guessed it (I just didn’t want to join the herd)– Revision3 is a great fit. Tekzilla is perfect for you.
You did pick up a few new skills, though, maybe they need a pilot.
Now, the other big project… no idea, yet….
Gratz V! Can’t wait to see the awesomeness that you’ll bring to the show
It was extremely obvious when Patrick couldn’t say, and you couldn’t say.
Hope it’s a good move for you. I’ll miss you since I can’t seem to stand Tekzilla. Wish you had joined DL.TV permanently, now that would rock.
I thought Patrick was going to “leak it out” in the last episode, but Roger put the clamp on him. Going to remove JC from your Twitter feed?
Great! first i saw you @ Mahalo a tought What? where’s all the tech? But now @ Tekzilla i know that you will be back full @ thechworld
Congrats!
I only watched Tekzilla every now and then. But I’m definitely going to subscribe to the feed now that Veronica is co-hosting. CongratS!
do i sense mahalo daily coming to revision3?
Fingers crossed… Revision3 bought by CNET and Veronica can get paid to be back on Buzz Out Loud.
Eh not so important. Glad you left Mahalo, gladder you’re still doing video.
That’s fantastic news! I mean who doesn’t love Revision3, and who doesn’t love ‘V’?
Well done guys. What a coup!
Well, what is “Tech” anyway? How narrowly or broadly do you want to define it. Do it too narrowly and you are going to miss out on a lot. Do it broadly and you build interest in things on the edge that may or may not blow up into a trend. But I digress.
Can’t wait.
Sweet! A full half hour of Veronica Belmont! Who would’ve thunk it?
COOL! Is it in the iTunes podcast directory?
[...] veronicabelmont.com and Tekzilla [...]
Coolness. (But why was my comment to this effect removed, scourged, and otherwise disallowed when I posted it in the show comments at dl.tv soon after it was over? I was bummed! Welcome to Tekzilla… in HD!
Veronica, It is soo great that you are on Tekzilla. I love the show and as so many have said it will be a great fit for you both. I just hope Revision3 gets billions in VC so you, Patrick, Kevin et all become millionaires.
I will subscribe to Tekzilla now.
Looking forward to seeing some more Veronica.
[...] she said it once, Revision 3 said it twice and V is going to join the Tekzilla team. I hope she gets even more [...]
congrats Veronica …goodluck and I must say you are a great addition to the Rev3 family
Congratulations. I already poked TiVo to add Tekzilla to their Web Video selection, gotta keep watching on the big screen.
On an unrelated note, I saw your guest spot on DL.TV last week and I couldn’t agree more about the UI changes and how they buried Categories down the page. Very annoying.
Excellent news, my two favourite hosts, on my new favourite show!
Congrats, V!
This also means I don’t have to add another podcast to iTunes, I already watch Tekzilla.
Can’t wait for you to spill the beans on the other project…
congrats v. cant wait to c the show… rev3 smart..
Congratulations on the new job Veronica. I’m sure it’ll be a great move for you and I can understand your reasons for doing it. I’ll be adding TekZilla to my already-lengthy list of podcast subscriptions.
I agree 100% with coment #45 (http://www.veronicabelmont.com/2008/04/ok-you-were-right-im-joining-tekzilla/#comment-58817) . Please do everything to put Patrick in a can and close it.
V…perfect move of course. Good on you. I know that working with Patrick & Roger will be fun and an easy transition for you. It’s good to work with friends…especially creative ones!
Congrats! Your guest appearances on Tekzilla were the best episodes they’ve done, especially the last one. You’ve got great chemistry with Patrick and you two can definitely bring the snark and banter so it’s a lot of fun to watch. Can’t wait for new episodes!
Glad to see you and Patrick on the show together. Hoping to see more than one show a week in the future
Just dreaming here…..
Cheers
Alexander
Quality nice! Congrats V and good luck on the new job! This really seems to me a perfect fit!
I knew it, they are making a show just for V at Rev3…. LOL rhymes
I have just started watching that show and it rocks. It is amazing to see you going back to tech programming which is where I think your real home is. Good move!
Woot! Tekzilla is A-list!
**SPOILER**
Belmont is going to be my intern over the summer for school credit.
Congrats!!! Best wishes on your new gig at Tekzilla!
Sounds great! Hope you enjoy being there as much as we’ll enjoy seeing you there…
Will definitely be looking forward to it.
Congratulations!!! It’ll be great to see you back in the neighborhood. Wish you all the best!
Congrats Veronica!!! You will do great as you always do!!
A friend of mine of your gender is getting few vibes here about your second post Mahalo project (which I missed, maybe)– V, you don’t want the commute to LAX– you want to stick close to SFO, you want to stick to tech (meaning maybe you may need to limit some of the stunts at Mahalo)? hmmm.
congrats! patrick and you will make a great team. Now if we could just get Leo there too. . . .
mmmmmmm. . .
Reading between the lines of your Tweets, I suspected that you were getting tired of the SF to LAX grind and Revision 3 is local, not in Chapter 11, and not laying people off it looked like a good fit.
Jason C kinda iced it for me when he posted the new Mahalo Daily host had to be in LA or be willing to move.
Good luck and I am looking forward to you on Techzilla. My WAG for your second project is either working with Leo or (very WAG) somehow doing DL.TV since they are always running you as part of their ads. Can’t really see that one tho…
I’m gonna go out on a limb and hope for the second project to be some sort of vidcast with Ryan… that’d be ill
Hey, just wanted to say congrats on the Revision3 gig. I think you’ll make Tekzilla even more fun to watch!

Congrats!
Just went to cnet’s front page and saw your Tekzilla episode featured on front page. Looks like you back on cnet.com (just not at cnet networks). Its funny how things work out.
Hey, I just saw Friday’s “Attack of the Show” and you were one of the 10 ten babes of the web this week. What was more impressive was that you were the only one that didn’t even have any bikini shots to get there!
http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/videos/21207/Women_of_the_Web_041108.html
Um, excuse me… Women of the Web.
just watched the friday tekzilla episode. another podcast i will have to subscribe to… i can’t support the channel by subscribing to netflix though, i am in the wrong country. does your “secret” project have something to do with cranky geeks?
Hi Veronica,
I’ve seen Tekzilla. Unless you’re bringing a whole lot of new ideas, it’s not going to be there for that long and will have a very limited audience.
You had complete creative license to do whatever you wanted at Mahalo. Why would you leave?
So youre the Lindsay Lohan of the tech world?
By 2010, you’ll have worked for every online tech company in California.
Of course, after that you’ll be able to go to Japan and host some shows there, you’ll be huge!!
C’mon, you can say it now,… how big a perv is Calacanis?
Dov Charney skeezy or Larry Flynt like?
w00t Veronica! It’s great to have to have you back into tech just like the good ol’ BOL days!
Congrats! saw your segment on cnet…wonder if the ratings will spike (which they might since they used your name in the title. Can’t wait to hear about your next project!
[...] Posted by melancholygeek on April 10, 2008 Lovely Veronica Belmont, former producer and co-host of cnet’s Buzz Out Loud and Mahalo’s Mahalo Daily, co-founder of The Sword and Laser bookclub and general all-purpose geekette joins the crew at Revision3’s Tekzilla! From her blog: [...]
Congrats and you’re doing a great job already.
I think many of us look at what you guys do and thinks its easy yet when I look at the girls that are trying out to fill the void at Malhalo Daily, I’m amazed at how uncool they are.
It’s hard to put a finger on it but you’ve got the right combination of looks, geekiness, attitude and approachability(?) that’s perfect for new media.
See you on Tekzilla.
Bill
Hi V
Just wanted to say that I’ve now watched a couple of TekZilla episodes and I’m completely hooked.
This is so much YOU!
Your interaction with Patrick brings back fond memories of when you where at BOL. Relaxed, fun atmosphere with lots of interesting info as well.
I tried to watch you at Mahalo, but the topics where just to diverse, this is MUCH better and seems more in line with what we expect from our favourite “techgirl”
Love the sense of humor and personality that you bring to tek. So glad you joined Tekzilla.
