"..O.n the Kickstarter page this morning, however, Joel proclaimed his intention that, should the campaign reach its goal, he intends to invite comedian and Nerdist family member Jonah Ray to be the new host. Joel, Mike, and now Jonah! It’s an amazingly cool thing to happen to such a huge fan of the show. If you listen back to when Joel was on the Nerdist Podcast in 2012, you can hear Jonah get giddy about the show and what it meant to him. How cool! In a statement, Joel said the following of Mr. Ray:
I can’t really tell you what kind of host Jonah is going to be, but I hope you’ll give him a chance to show you. And even if you’re familiar with Jonah’s career, remember: that doesn’t mean he’ll bring the same exact approach to MST3K. I think a lot of you may be surprised. Plus, like the previous members of our cast, I think Jonah has great instincts and a lot of range. He’s funny, he’s wicked smart, and like I said, his heart’s in the right place. He loves MST3K, he seems to understand what makes it so special, and most important, I know he takes the role seriously.
So, now it’s up to us, Nerdist friends! We’d all like to see Jonah alongside Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo on the new, updated Satellite of Love, right? If you haven’t already, maybe visit the Kickstarter campaign and think of donating. We want at least three Jonah eps, but hopefully a lot more..."

"...The fans have spoken, and Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is coming back to life for a brand new season thanks to a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. So, we caught up with the new star to talk about want fans can expect. The new season will stream on Netflix, and the creative team has added geek demigods Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt to the mix for the new run. We sat down with Day to talk about the new season, as well as what drew her into the world of MST3K. From her first experience with the series (Santa Claus vs. The Martians), to the new paradigm they’re introducing for the season, Day digs into all of it. She also talks about why the series has endured for so many decades (Seriously, it first premiered in 1988!), and how the team can always find the good in these “bad” movies..." video interview at the link link

I have been watching this again recently on Netflix, which has the original series (10 seasons) too. Some of the guest stars with tiny cameos are Neil Patrick Harris, and Jerry Seinfeld so far. True to the original feel of the show, plus bonus some excellent songs and performances from the entire cast. I was afraid the magic had died since reboots are tricky but nope!
Give it a go- so far a reference to young women writing fan letters to Steven Yeun fan in Yongary, a mention of TWD in a segment about zombies and even a snarky comment about Chris Hardwick and Talking Dead, so those were hilarious.
