Kevin, Bill, Mary Jo, Bridget, Trace and Frank will join forces with Cole Stratton, Janet Varney, John Hodgman and Paul F. Tompkins for “RiffTrax: Day of the Shorts” on Sunday, Jan. 20, at 4 p.m. at the Castro Theater in San Francisco as part of the huge Sketchfest 2019 event.
Frank and Trace will also do a “The Mads Are Back” show on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 10:30 p.m.
We haven’t talked to you about this before, and you deserve an explanation as to why. One of the cardinal rules we live by at Satellite News is “the cast is entitled to a private life.” The standard example was: if Mary Jo gets a speeding ticket on the way to the studio, that’s not something we’re going to report.
A real-life situation arose a while back when J. Elvis was hospitalized with kidney cancer. It was not something we reported.
But in a move that does not surprise us at all. J. Elvis has worked his illness into his standup act, and it’s great stuff.
Enjoy. And to J. Elvis, many happy new years to come.
I was watching “Last of the Wild Horses,” with all the hilarious Trek alternate universe stuff going … Frank was doing Joel’s insane Joey the Lemur stuff and I began to wonder … it just came to me … would Andy Kaufman have been a MST3K fan had he lived to see it? I miss old Andy … and I think he would have been one of us.
So … what historical famous person who didn’t live to see the show do you think would have been a fan and why? Also, favorite episode(s)…?
I like to think Churchill would have been a MSTie. Favorite episode: The Killer Shrews. He would have understood the battle.
