Leo Laporte is the host of The Screen Savers and Call for Help on TechTV. He has been a television and radio personality for more than two decades, focusing exclusively on high tech since 1991. He won an Emmy award in 1997 for his work as the virtual character, Dev Null, on MSNBC's The Site. Leo lives on a small farm in northern California with his wife, Jennifer, two children, two goats, two sheep, and two cats. The farm is equipped with high-speed wireless networking, but so far none of the animals has shown an interest.

Megan Morrone is a regular contributor, writer, frequent host, and resident Mom of The Screen Savers on TechTV. She began her TechTV career as the web producer and shortly after her arrival was forced kicking and screaming in front of the camera. Megan recently became a real mom herself, but did not (much to the chagrin of fans) actually give birth on television. She lives North of San Francisco with her husband, Marco, and her baby, Annabella. You can see pictures and read all their secrets at www.jumpingmonkeys.com.
