From monster trucks to classic car expos and motorcycle rallies, the series enthralled audiences with some of the most amped-up machines on the planet.A “good ol’ Southern boy” at heart, Morreale was born and raised in Arkansas, where he attended the University of Arkansas and was starting wide receiver for the Arkansas Razorbacks. An avid sports player and viewer, he soon found a home on the G4 network as host of “Sweat,” a feature-oriented sports show where he interviewed many high-profile athletes from Shaquille O’Neal to Tony Hawk. After “Sweat” he moved to TLC, where he became host of “Junkyard Mega-Wars,” followed by “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest” and Spike TV’s “Midnight Spike.” For the latter two shows he appeared as correspondent and host, rubbing elbows with Hollywood celebrities and music superstars.Morreale’s hosting abilities run the gamut from sports programs to geeky mechanic shows to hob-knobbing with Hollywood elite. A host with no bounds, he’s equally at home trailing Tony Hawk on a skateboard or sipping champagne on a red carpet.
