"Attack of the Show" co-host Olivia Munn

Wherever Olivia Munn goes, a pack of young men is sure to follow.

"It's not weird," says the 26-year-old co-host of cable channel G4's "Attack of the Show," where she offers opinions on pop culture daily. "It's exciting. I love it."

Less than five minutes into a sit-down interview with the outspoken host, she is surrounded by dozens of men, all gawking at her. All that keeps them from her is a rope and a couple of security guards.

Nonetheless, the crowd pulls out cell phones and starts snapping away.

At Comic-Con in 2007, the large event for comic-book collectors, Munn spent five hours signing autographs. Men of traditional college age seem to like her because she speaks on their level expertly -- everything from the latest video games to sports.

And she does it with a flippancy to which they can relate.

It doesn't hurt she's easy on the eyes -- tall, thin and dark. Born in Oklahoma but raised in Tokyo, she became a model in the Japanese fashion industry before becoming a sports reporter and flirting with acting.

In 2006, she landed the job of co-hosting "Attack," one of the hottest shows today for the hard-to-get young-male demographic. She shares hosting duties with Kevin Pereira.

"Attack" reviews new technology, spoofs daily news and features previews of upcoming and highly anticipated video games, movies and digital media.

Between introducing stories or being part of demonstrations, Munn and Pereira feel free to express themselves on almost any subject.

"These people feel like they know me," she says, "and, in a way, they do."

How does "Attack" get guys who claim not to watch TV to watch them?

"I think it's our honesty," she says. "In our society, we like to think of everything as being taboo or precious. We talk on air the same way we talk off air.

"There's something honest about that, and these people can relate to that."

During this interview, Munn admits that her life isn't perfect. "It's stressful," she says. Of the man in her life, Munn, single and career-minded right now, says, "It's not perfect. We're kind of in a slump."

That kind of open-canvas approach is part of Munn's appeal. She says she talks too much. For TV viewers, it's a virtue.

"I'll do anything if it is halfway entertaining and halfway amusing," she says, noting that she was once injured during a telecast when she slipped on baby oil. The result was a dislocated shoulder.

However, she concedes, "it made for some great television."

Munn is expanding her horizons. She's landing acting roles (collaborating with comedy group Broken Lizard on the film "Slammin' Salmon") and talking to networks about her own prime-time vehicle.

She says, though, she has no intentions of leaving "Attack" for the foreseeable future.

"If anyone likes me for anything," she says, "it's nice."
