The producers of E!'s The Soup are creating a new show called Web Soup that highlights memorable moments in online video. Comedian and writer Chris Hardwick will host Web Soup, which debuts June 7 on G4.

I'm not a big fan of The Soup. It's the kind of show I'll watch for a few minutes while flipping. But I'll give Web Soup my full attention only because Chris Hardwick is hosting. The guy's hilarious. He's been making crap watchable since the 1990s when he used to host Singled Out on MTV.

I love it when Hardwick shows up on G4's Attack of the Show to review gadgets or co-host, and I was sad to see his PBS show Wired Science come to a close last year.

Other than that, Web Soup sounds like the TV equivalent of the e-mail forwards I get from co-workers with links to videos I don't want to see. But there might be hope with Hardwick on board. (In other news, I just discovered that I have a huge man crush on Chris Hardwick).
