Why is GSN head Rich Cronin nicknamed "Speedups"? Is it ever since he joined GSN in 2001 the speedups on some parts of classic game shows started?

 I've never heard him nicknamed "Speedups" except by you, Mr. Heine.

 Rich doesn't have that nickname per se, but shortly after his tenure we began to notice the speeding up of classic shows. I can understand it being done in order to fit in shows from the 50s-80s that had considerably less commercial time than shows of today, but now I'm noticing speedups on four year old Millionaire reruns. I can't imagine why they'd have to speed up something that recent to fit in to the allotted time.

 Wow.  All you ever do is complain about GSN.  It's almost like your life's purpose.  GSN isn't perfect.  We know this.  Move on.

 Wrong, Brandon.  Her life's purpose is to watch an episode of Way Out Games.
