Jessica Chobot Biography
Jessica Chobot currently serves as host of the IGN Entertainment network's online video content. In just a short time with the company, it was clear that Jessica -- known on her blog as "The Baroness" -- was not only a hit with IGN fans, but also a knock-out in-the-know about all-things videogames.
What began as a freelancing job writing for IGN's Insider newsletter and shooting "woman-on-the-street" pieces with IGN quickly expanded into in-studio and on-air web, television productions and event coverage including the highly successful The Daily Fix (IGN.com), IGN Strategize (IGN.com & Xbox Live), IGN GameBreaks for FOX Television and more.
An avid gamer, anime lover and admitted Japanophile, Jessica is looked to as more than just a pretty face for videogames fans. During her time at IGN, Jessica's hosting duties have taken her to the far corners of the world -- from Tokyo to Montreal -- offering videogame tips and tricks on Microsoft's Xbox Live, teaming up with Steven Lisberger from Tron and Tron II on the upcoming script for SoulCode, representing J!NX's female clothing line and co-hosting G4's Proving Ground.
In addition to appearing locally and internationally as an integral part of the IGN video team, Jessica has contributed the written word to FHM UK, Mania.com, MAXIM print and online properties, and many other media outlets. As a notable and knowledgeable woman in the tech and gaming entertainment industry she has appeared as an industry expert for G4's Filter, Attack of the Show, and most recently, the host of G4's Proving ground alongside Ryan Dunn from Jackass, ABC World News, Geraldo At Large, EXTRA!, FOX News Live, CBS News and more; and she is regularly invited to make guest appearances on the SyFy Channel's Sci vs. Fi series and STARZ' Hollywood Goes Gaming. She also previously served as a weekly commentator on Sirius Maxim Radio's The Bower Show, as a game adviser on The Daily Habit and as a reporter for the Championship Gaming Invitational.
Born in Buffalo, NY and raised in the Michigan, Jessica's video game love started back in childhood. Her first and fondest video game memories include playing Atari with her Dad, spending a whole Saturday freeing Princess Peach in Super Mario Brothers and competing against (and beating!) her brother in Street Fighter II. After getting her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in Art Education, she landed her first job in the video games industry -- a job at EB Games. She became an overnight Internet sensation when a tongue-in-cheek modeling photo of her appeared online licking the Sony PSP. The photo has been widely parodied since, even appearing on Sony-branded advertising.
Despite her quick rise to videogame fame, Jessica's Midwestern charm, no-nonsense knowledge and passion about the world of videogames has made her a favorite in the hearts of fans around the world (one determined fan from London investigated IGN's office location and flew clear across the pond -- and the country -- to meet her) and earned her a spot on AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women List.
