That would indeed be my guess, although with the caveat that I really don't know
that much about the actual technical process of closed captioning. The traditional method would be encoding the closed captions directly onto a show's master tape, but now that we're in the digital age, that's probably not happening. I picture GSN's central computer pulling the show video from one server and the closed-captioning file from another and simultaneously playing them back, but in this case, a fumble-thumbed monkey made a typo and associated the wrong captioning file with that particular showing of "Lingo."
If someone wanted to make trouble for GSN, they could complain to the FCC about this sort of thing. As I understand it, they take closed-captioning issues a lot more seriously than they take, for example, broadcast media ownership concentration issues.
