Okay, well, you have the right to not like him then. I will never take that away from you. But if Joel likes him so much, then I imagine that he won't take that approach to the MST3K hosting gig. Maybe he'll turn over a whole new leaf, like how George Carlin went from clean comic to a dirty one. I don't know, the…

Dude, you've been ragging on Jonah Ray for god knows how long on Twitter. You can tell, same handle and everything. There's a fine line between respectfully saying "I don't think he's the right guy for the job" and "I want to make this man feel like living dogshit so he can commit suicide and no longer be the MST3K…

Wow, you're helping a project out just so you can help make it fail? That's not just a guy who hates Jonah Ray, that's a Dennis Reynolds-level sociopath.

They did a RiffTrax of it!

Okay, real good then.

Just withdraw your pledge on the Kickstarter. It's pretty easy.

Well, comedians work better in one arena than they do in another. Neil Patrick Harris: great Tony host, bad Oscar host. You just have to trust Mr. Hodgson on this one.

Okay, fine. Then just don't donate to the Kickstarter and don't keep writing about how Jonah Ray is the comedic anti-Christ, like most of the other commenters are doing here.

Okay, anyone who gets this mad over comedy is clearly not worth arguing with.

I'm sorry, but I am not gonna get on the hate train with everyone else. Never heard this guy's podcast before, but if Joel thinks he's cool, I think he's cool. I'm sick of the MST3K fanbase always shitting on the new guys right out of the gate.

Yes, because Joel's delivery was SOOOO razor-sharp in the first few episodes of the show.

Joel says that if the more money the Kickstarter will make, the more likely it'll be that the old team comes in to make a guest appearance. They haven't been paid for their work on MST3K, so Joel's hoping that he makes that right.

Piss off. The whole strategy of "Oh, see, this guy told a bad joke once! He clearly can't be the new host of this beloved comedy show!" did not work for Trevor Noah. What makes you think it'll work for Jonah Ray?

I'm not a Nerdist listener, so why the hell do you guys hate this Jonah Ray character so much?

"The movie you've got this week is BANANAS! It's called MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE, and it is cuckoo crazy! Now excuse me, I've gotta go keep fucking this chick in her gunt!"

No, they're thinly veiled shots at JIM MALLON.

Unless I see Chris Pine wearing a shirt that says "Go climb a rock", he will never be my Captain Kirk. NEVER!

I dunno, Mike said that riffing SUPER MARIO BROS. was one of the most painful experiences in his career…and this man sat through Coleman Francis' entire filmography.
