	Joel Hodgson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hodgson decided that he liked his own bomb better, and left the NBC prop in his hotel room.
		In contemporary interviews, Joel said he was uncomfortable with acting and being in front of the camera, citing that as the reason he quit the show just as he and MST3K began to gain popularity.
		Hodgson reportedly chose MST3K head writer Michael J. Nelson to be his replacement as host because he felt that Nelson was a natural leader, a gifted comedian (as well as a musician, handling most of the show's musical numbers), and, additionally, he thought Nelson looked good standing next to the show's puppets.

		Joel Hodgson, Twin Cities deadpan comic, fumbling magician and self-declared spy, has, after just a couple of years working local clubs, reached that goal.
		Hodgson said he sometimes feels like a recording star who has to do his hits at every performance.
		"Joel Hodgson is one of those rare people who believes that his self and the people he values are much more important than fame and riches," said Hansen.

	Joel Robinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joel was more a fatherly figure to the 'Bots and helped them get through all the bad movies the crew watched until Mike came along.
		Joel's tenure as host was marked by "invention exchanges", where Joel and his mad scientist tormentors would come up with wacky inventions in a contest with each other.
		These sketches were a good match for Hodgson, who began his career as a prop comic; indeed, many of the inventions were items originally found in his standup act.

	SMRT-TV: TV on DVD
		Hodgson played Joel Robinson, a man haplessly shot into space by two scheming scientists — Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) and his dopey assistant, TV's Frank (Frank Conniff) — who forced Robinson to watch terrible movies as part of a vaguely-defined take-over-the-world experiment.
		Joel was always my favorite host, exuding a general easygoing likeability that Mike never managed to emulate.
		Joel just seemed to be playing himself, and Joel seemed like the kind of guy you'd want to be friends with.

	TV REVIEW_The TV Wheel
		When a person is successful at anything (be it sports, music, writing, or simply making money), they sometimes get lauded as 'genius' if they are either exceptional at it, or if the manner in which they made their mark was uncommon.
		Joel Hodgson is a genius - let's get that straight from the outset - an unassuming, Middle-American Everyman who has a grasp for the uncommon idea and the uncanny ability to assemble a spirited team to put those ideas in motion.
		The TV Wheel may not be wholly original, but the energy and creativity Joel brought to this simple concept outweighed any kind of composite plagiarism.

		It was Joel who built the robots out of pieces of the SOL and stray junk lying around the ship (except for Cambot, who may have been built by Dr. F).
		Hodgson, a shy person, was also reportedly very uncomfortable in front of the camera, and even more uncomfortable with his growing fame.
		Joel made a demo tape of the concept with the help of struggling local stand-up comic Trace Beaulieu and high-schooler and budding comedian Josh Weinstein.

		Joel apparently spends some time looking after some "vacuuflowers" which intoxicate with just a smell causing the Bots to attempt to avoid smelling them by putting clothespins on their noses.
		Joel takes the opportunity of a break to teach the Bots the "Three Robotic Laws", but they don't take them seriously, stating the third law is "Give a hoot, don't pollute." Later, Joel and the Bots discuss what they're going to do when they get back to Earth.
		Joel and Crow take a look at some artwork sent in by fans as well as some letters and a photo of a fan with his cat, which the fan claims looks like Crow.

		The horrible leech costumes are funny enough on their own, but without Joel, Crow, and Servo, it would be an arduous task to sit through this movie.
		Joel, Crow, and Servo eat up this story, making tons of Star Trek jokes about the aliens' costumes and the cheesy skeleton effects.

		The three silhouettes are Joel Robinson (Joel Hodgson), an average joe who has been shot into space aboard the Satellite of Love by his Evil Scientist bosses, Crow T. Robot (Trace Bealieu), and Tom Servo (Kevin Murphy), two robots he built out of loneliness.
		Joel and the ‘Bots give it their best, but this episode is excruciating.
		My complaint with these is usually all MST3K episodes are interspersed with skits where Joel and the ‘Bots would expand on the theme of a movie or a short introduction, and were some of the funniest bits of the show.

	Dr. Daniel's Movie Emergency - "Goodbye, MST3K" - Joel Hodgson, Mike Nelson
		Joel Hodgson, a stand-up comic and magician, created the show in '88, wedding the practice of zinging bad movies from the peanut gallery with a bizarrely comedic sci-fi setting that found him trapped in a satellite with a handful of robotic puppets.
		The Brains, led by Hodgson and head writer Michael J. Nelson, took the concept to amazing heights of hilarity, employing the best elements of comic writing -- brilliant phraseology, dead-on parodies, sarcastic jabs, tongue-in-cheek jingles, slick puns, and best of all, making an art form out of the obscure reference.
		You had to pay attention to enjoy it, and that's probably why it constantly confounded programming executives and kept it on the brink of extinction for most of its life.

		When Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was first conceived by comedian Joel Hodgson back in the early '90s, it was positioned as a localized late night UHF, offering a chance for some native talent to perk up the otherwise drab Minneapolis airwaves with some homemade hilarity.
