A scene from the Time Trotters Season One retrospective featurette, hosted by Rich Gallup

Rich Gallup started at GameSpot as an intern, but his incredible creativity over the years has earned him the position of Features Editor for GameSpot's video and audio productions. He is the inspiration behind some of GameSpot's most popular multimedia features including:

  • On The Spot -- a weekly game-related magazine show which he also hosts
  • Button Mashing -- a videogame gameshow where players compete in a series of challenges
  • The Hotspot -- a weekly audio podcast discussing the latest news in the gaming industry

Though these are all collaborative efforts which pool the skills of a great many GameSpot employees, Gallup is often credited as the creative force behind their inception.
