The Resume

(May 5, 1966- )
Originated Dr. Larry Erhardt, Tom Servo and Gypsy on 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' (1988-90)
Produced 'Freak and Geeks,' 'Dead Last' and 'Malcolm and Eddie'

Why he might be annoying:

He left Mystery Science Theater 3000 after only a year.
This made it hard to keep continuity of the show, but they pronounced him missing and to account for the voice change of Tom Servo Joel had to install a new voice box for the bot.
He changed his name from Josh Weinstein to J. Elvis Weinstein.

Why he might not be annoying:

He originated characters of Dr. Larry Erhardt, Tom Servo and Gypsy on 'Mystery Science Theater 3000.'
He was merely a teenager when he worked on 'Mystery Science Theater 3000'
He credits Trace Beaulieu with being a great puppeteer, in that he controls Crow, while he only had to control a mouth string for his bot Tom Servo.
His bot was originally named beeper and was only to say beep.
He thought it was a waste of time and named him Tom Servo, and gave him a personality 'I did think of him as being a bad morning D.J. with a giant ego and delusions of being a chick magnet.'
Most of the time he did not see the movie they were wise cracking about, so his comments were pure improv.
He started stand up comedy at 15.
