Speed Reader

Speed Reader (played by Ken Myles) is a young man from Earth who appears on The Gary Gnu Show. He can allegedly read incredibly fast, zipping through an entire book (usually a recently published novel for young readers) in seconds and then offering a short review. Before he reads, he warms up by doing "push-ups" with his eyelids (blinking rapidly and moving his eyes around). Before each Speed Reader appearance, there would be a short film and "Speed Reader" theme song showing Speed Reader reading fast. Gary Gnu would sing the song while other people would shout the "Speed Reader, Speed Reader" refrain.
