Home > Joel Hodgson

 
John Joel Hodgson (born February 20, 1960 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin) is best known for creating Mystery Science Theater 3000. He actually began his career as a stand-up comedian and magician. Combining his gift for designing toys and other gizmos, Joel built two robot puppets and created his famous MST3K series in 1988.

He surprised many fans when he removed himself from the show just as it became popular in 1995. In interviews, Joel claims to be uncomfortable with acting and being in front of the camera. That is why he retired from performing at 34 and quit the show just as he began to gain popularity.

After MST3K, Joel formed Visual Story Tools with his brother Jim. He primarily works behind the camera, building gadgets and writing scripts. His post-MST3K writings include You Don't Know Jack and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
