Alert reader Matt sent this before Joel announced the possible reboot, but its seems appropriate this week:

My wife and I were catching up with an old Kevin Kline film (“Soapdish”) and it struck me how his mannerisms and energy was similar to Dr. F. It got me thinking: what if they were to cast MST3K with A-List comedic celebrities in the familiar roles? Okay, I guess it is debatable if Kevin Kline is A-List anymore…

Here’s my list:
Joel – James Franco – he already has the sleep eyed thing down pat
Mike – Seth Rogen – “a regular joe” like Mike, and of the same school as Franco, so the transition would be smooth
Crow – voiced by Patton Oswalt – already a good voice actor
Tom – voiced by Jonah Ray – great timing and vocal qualities (from the Nerdist Podcast)
Gypsy – voiced by Kristen Wiig – for the heck of it
Dr Forrester – Kevin Kline – he can do both big and subtle very well
Dr Erhardt – Jay Baruchel – a youngish actor to go well with Josh’s original age
TV’s Frank – Bobby Moynihan – the SNL actor can easily replicate Frank’s oddball sensibilities, while also bringing his own thing
Pearl – Melissa McCarthy – I mean, duh, right?
Bobo – Steve Carrel – Carrel can deliver dimwitted earnestness like no other!
Brain Guy – Jim Parsons – Had to have at least one bit of typecasting in here

Who would YOU choose? For the purpose of this, money is no object.
