Sadly, MST3K's Mike Nelson was until recently a Minnesotan and reportedly also a right-winger.

Another reason Joel > Mike.

There's a recession and it's cheap entertainment.

True Story! MST3K started out as a low budget show on the very local channel 23 TV station here in Minneapolis and could only be received through the air. Once I found this gem I watched religiously. Of course it got canceled. The cast threw a goodbye party at the local comedy club which I attended. This all happened before they were picked up by Comedy Central. The cast each did their own comedy routine and were great but Joel Hodgson's was outstanding. I even sent away for a channel 23 MST3K fan club card and received #246. Unfortunately the wallet was stolen. Sigh. The card would probably be worth billions by now. Mike Nelson is no Joel.
