What language is this in?

Any Irismasonese to English translators around?

--- Quote ---I love the closing credits for all the reasons that everybody else does, but since the section of the screen that houses the end-credits has been scrunched down to an un-noticeable, un-readable size, and the entire end-credits segment has now been split screened completely, I say it's unfortunately the time to put an end all end-credits on the now defunct Game Show Network for good.

I think one of the reasons it bugs me so much is that it's part of the show, just as the opening is part of the show. If they cut it off completely, in reality they're cutting off part of the show. How would you feel if one day they just skipped the opening and started right from when the host was introduced?
I know, I know - GSN's there to make money and all - but I hate the fact they have to cut off part of the show to do it. But I guess they're no different from any other cable network. TVLand, for instance, airs edited versions of most of their sitcoms, because in the '60s there were fewer commercials and they have to cut out parts of the show to meet today's commercial demands.

I say if they really want to do promos, do those promos in the background, and leave the closing credits, themes, and Monty Hall's deals at the end of LMAD alone.
Speaking of announcers, many people DO want to know who those announcers are. Some will be saying "Where have I heard this person before?" or "Is this who I think it is?"

It'd look like an episode of Knockout. :-) (The show had no true opening...it began w/a ECU of Arte making an ad-libbed comment, pausing, then segueing into the announcer's contestant intros).
