A good interview from the professor.
Now for the comment, It is settling to know that there will be some remains of the traditional game show on GSN, however; Pardon me if I'm repeating what may have been said before, and I understand it’s too late to ask this question, and I now also understand that it’s just plain redundant to ask this question now, but with the recent failure of GSNVG's, and the failure of Naturally Stoned, why is it that GSN is making another move like this? The whole game show thing was working very well in August 2002 (Didn't they turn there first profit around then?); Why change the winning formula?
(BTW: If you're wondering what is the basis of all of my GSN related "Chicken Littling " A.K.A. "The GSN Apocalypse" was, read the statement above. Pardon me for being a whiner, but I thought that the "Chicken Littling" I did was justified; If you didn't, I’m sorry for the annoyance.)

They're simply looking for something new for the network. Apparently, a strict schedule of game shows is getting stale, so change is needed.

I found it odd that Cronin called Evan the "ideal host". I could care less about Joke Millionaire...are they still married?

If it were up to me I'd resurrect the "Club AM" and "Prime Games" formulas. During those times, I found GSN to be a warm, inviting place. It was nice to hear game show discussion from people in the business, and the occasional phone call from fans.
I found it getting a bit stale once those segments were cut from GSN.
