The MMO Report was a humorous, video game news podcast, which originated on G4. Widely watched by gamers and the gaming industry it is hosted by Casey Schreiner. Styled in parody of the Colbert Report, it covers all the interesting and quirky news stories in the Massively multiplayer online game world.

The MMO Report first aired Friday, August 24, 2007 via internet podcast and continues to air weekly episodes every Thursday. Changes were made on September 28, bringing a new shiny opening to the show. On Friday, February 1, 2008, John Walsh made an appearance as the host for that episode. Ever since then, he continues to grace viewers with his presence. Then on Friday, May 23, 2008, The MMO Report got their set updated to match their beginning. Since debuting in the late summer of 2007, it has quickly become a steady source of news in the MMO industry.

On Thursday, August 7, 2008, The MMO Report celebrated its 1-year anniversary of being on the net. To commemorate the occasion, they invited some office staff as a studio audience as well as to enjoy some cake afterwards. To further the celebrations, they enrolled Casey Schreiner in Operation Immortality headed by Richard Garriott.

As of January 31, 2010 the iTunes podcast was discontinued and merged with Fresh Ink Online, Sessler's Soapbox, and more as G4TV.com Web Shows. The shows can all still be accessed individually on G4's web site.

The MMO Report concluded its run on G4 at the end of November 2012.

As a sign of its swelling popularity the MMO Report is able to get exclusive interviews with game developers on new and upcoming games. The first of their specials came with the new Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition ruleset as well getting a peek at the new character and dungeon creation software. Following this, the show was able to get a sneak peek at Age of Conan showcasing many new features, and a more polished version before any other gaming news source. Later, Casey got to sit down with the creators of Aion: Tower of Eternity and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning producing a 2 part special.
