Internet Tonight (1998 – October 1, 2001[1]) was a television program on the cable network ZDTV (later known as TechTV and G4). The show combined the "effervescent moxie" of Michaela Pereira with the "dry wit" of Scott Herriott, to bring the viewers the latest in Internet trends, humor, and news.[2] Due to the production value it was called the "absolute slickest show [TechTV] had" but was canceled when "Paul [Allen] took a dislike to the show ... and just killed it"[3]
A daily, half-hour show, it was on the launch schedule for ZDTV,[4][5] and strove to be "the show of record about the Net."[2] Segments included Strange Sites, Incredibly Useful Sites, and Home Sweet Homepage. The collection of these links were amassed into an archive called The Big List and on each show Scott's trademark was to yell 'THE BIG LIST' at its first mention.[6] The show had contributing correspondents, most with their own dedicated segment:[7]
The dry wit of Scott Herriott, combined with the effervescent moxie of Michaela Pereira give viewers a singly skewed, and skewered, view of the World Wide Web. They report on the fast-changing, often-irreverent online world that's open to anyone with access to a computer.

Hoping to bring its print and Web content to yet another medium, Ziff-Davis today launched ZDTV, its much-anticipated 24-hour cable channel.
Host Scott Herriott is joined by correspondents SuChin Pak and Ed Marques, to feature the best of the Internet including the coolest places to be on the Web.
For more than a year and a half, Scott shouted, screamed, murmured, shrieked, howled, bellowed, blared, roared, screeched, wailed, muttered, hummed, and cried "THE BIG LIST" on the show each night.
Internet Tonight airs each weeknight at 10 P.M. Eastern / 7 P.M. Pacific.
