GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley (or GT.TV) is a television show about video games hosted by video game journalist Geoff Keighley. Originally titled Game Head, on January 25, 2008, the show relaunched under its current name with a slightly different format and further incorporation of GameTrailers hosts, Amanda MacKay and Daniel Kayser. The series airs Friday nights at different times (depending on the previous programming) at 12am, 12:30am, 1am, and 1:30am Eastern Time on Spike in the U.S. and Canada.
In September 2016, Geoff Keighley partnered with YouTube to launch a new show dubbed "Live with YouTube Gaming", which carries a lot of similarities with GameTrailers TV.
In the program, host Geoff Keighley, along with his correspondents, are seen on location at video game companies or interviewing with special guests while divulging exclusive information on upcoming video games. During the program, video game previews, reviews, new gadgets, and trivia facts about the video games are featured.
Past episodes have included interviews with film director Uwe Boll, current Nintendo of America President and Chief Operating Officer Reggie Fils-Aime, professional video gamer Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, and fashion designer Marc Ecko.
Episodes have also focused on the "Best of E3" (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in their E³ 2006 and E³ 2007 episode, featuring editors from internet gaming site GameSpot. Other episodes have featured the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences's D.I.C.E. Summit, including an interview with the former head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division Peter Moore, the 8th Annual Independent Games Festival, PAX East, and Spike TV Video Game Awards (VGAs).
According to Spike TV, GT.TV is the highest rated video game show on television, and consistently has higher ratings than anything on G4 or MTV2.
