Did You Know?

Trivia:

Was the original Tom Servo on MST3K ( Mystery Science Theater 3000). Kevin Murphy replaced him at the beginning of the second season. His nerdy henchman character, Dr. Laurence Erhardt, was replaced by TV's Frank, played by 'Frank Conniff' (wv). He differentiated Dr. Laurence Erhardt and Tom Servo by using a squeaky, high pitched voice as Erhardt and a deep voice as Servo. See more »
