Faux Pause was an American television program that aired in 1998 on Game Show Network. Co-hosted by Mary Gallagher and Sean Donnellan, Pause consisted of jokes and skits done while watching certain episodes of game shows, in a similar fashion to Mystery Science Theater 3000.
In a 2013 Facebook post, Frank Nicotero, who wrote for the show, said that there were a total of 22 episodes.
Note that this is believed to be an incomplete list.
Reception towards Faux Pause was poor, with Time Magazine's Joel Stein calling the show "stunningly bad", as well as the rest of GSN's original programming at the time.
