During the marathon, <em>Inspector Gadget<\/em> co-creator Andy Heyward will interact with viewers in chat as his team at\u00a0Kid Genius Channel\u00a0turns some of the Twitch viewers\u2019 usernames into Go Go Gadgets-inspired sketches.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, <em>MythBusters<\/em> alum Adam Savage\u2019s Tested website will live stream 3D prop creations inspired by the cartoon with a contest for the Twitch audience during breaks in the marathon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince a key component of multiplayer entertainment is the live interaction happening between streamers and their viewers, the\u00a0<em>Inspector Gadget<\/em>\u00a0marathon adds something special to the mix,\u201d said Jane Weedon,\u00a0the director of business development at Twitch. \u201cIn addition to show co-creator Andy Heyward conversing with fans in chat, he will be selecting some of their Twitch usernames to be transformed by his team into Go Go Gadgets concept art. This illustrates one of the many unique and fun ways creators on Twitch can bridge the gap with their fans in order to build stronger connections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen <em>Inspector Gadget<\/em> was created 35 years ago, the props and gizmos that were used didn&#8217;t exist in real life,\u201d Heyward noted. \u201cMany years later, we found them to come to life and reality. Penny\u2019s wrist watch secret communicator became an iPhone. The handheld computer with the video screen on it, the Game Boy and iPad tablet. What is so exciting for us today is that, with Twitch, we are now able to create the \u200b<em>Inspector Gadget<\/em>\u00a0\u200binteractive experience with the legions of fans that we never would have imagined was possible back in the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savage, the lead editor of Tested, added: \u201cAs fans of gadgets, we are especially big fans of\u00a0<em>Inspector Gadget<\/em>. We are looking forward to being live on Twitch, interacting with the fans in chat and bringing gadgets inspired by the show to life, as well as seeing what the Twitch community comes up with based on our schematics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Inspector Gadget marathon featuring an interactive twist is going to run on Twitch over the course of a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":15497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[972,2408],"class_list":["post-15496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-inspector-gadget","tag-twitch","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Twitch to Host Inspector Gadget Marathon - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Twitch to Host Inspector Gadget Marathon - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An Inspector Gadget marathon featuring an interactive twist is going to run on Twitch over the course of a week.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-12-13T15:46:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/inspector-gadget.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/\",\"name\":\"Twitch to Host Inspector Gadget Marathon - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-12-13T15:46:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-12-13T15:46:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/twitch-to-host-inspector-gadget-marathon\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Twitch to Host Inspector Gadget Marathon\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
