Hack My Life

Hosts Kevin Pereira (formerly of G4TV's Attack of the Show!) and Brooke Van Poppelen explore and demonstrate life hacks that can be time and money-saving. Examples included are using a bag of potato chips as a substitute for charcoal in a BBQ pit, or building your own portable air-conditioning unit using a Styrofoam cooler, ice cubes, and a battery-operated fan.^[3]

At the end of each first-season episode, the hosts highlight which hacks are the best time saver, biggest money saver, least likely to succeed, and the hack of the week. For the second-season episode endings, Kevin and Brooke test out solutions posted on their Tumblr page.

An enhanced version of the series is titled as Hack My Life: Inside Hacks, which features on-screen commentary from the cast and crew, and has premiered April 25, 2017.
