Personal Quote:
[Talking about the film Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)]: "We [the writers] started watching it, and had never seen anything like that. We kept saying to ourselves, 'There is no way we can do this movie, it is just too bizarre.' But we finally decided, 'No, we must bring this to the world.'" See more »Trivia:
Joel Hodgson chose him to be his replacement as the host of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988) because he was impressed with his leadership skills, his music skills and the fact that he looked great standing next to the show's puppets. See more »Star Sign:
