Personal Quote:
Mystery Science Theater still sells. I still get a royalty from it. See more »Trivia:
Wears glasses, but did not wear them during the host segments of Mystery Scinece Theater 3000 (1988). However, he did wear his glasses during the commentary segments, as can be seen when his silhouette is caught at a profile angle, the outline of his glasses becomes visible. See more »Nickname:
