Catherine Schwartz - Definition and Overview

Catherine Schwartz (often called just Cat Schwartz) (born May 27, 1977) is an American television personality best known for her former role as co-host on TechTV's Call For Help. She earned degrees in Broadcast Communication Arts and Sociology from San Francisco State University.

After a stint on TechTV's The Screen Savers, Schwartz became co-host of Call For Help in 2002 with then co-host Chris Pirillo. After Pirillo left TechTV in April 2003, former host Leo Laporte returned to co-host with Schwartz. Call For Help was cancelled in May 2004 after TechTV's merger with G4, resulting in G4techTV.

In the period after the cancellation of Call for Help, she appeared as a G4techTV "Tech Expert" on the Today Show segment "Gender Wars" (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5281872/). She has also made guest appearances on short segments of The Screen Savers. Currently, Schwartz is in negotiations with G4techTV regarding her continued role on the network. She recently signed-on as a columnist with Stuff Magazine, with a column entitled, "Ask the Tech Chick."

Schwartz created a stir in the Internet community when she posted a cropped photograph of herself on her personal blog that contained a hidden nude thumbnail of herself. [1] (http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/a/2003_07_26.htm)
