Comedian/Actor
The Resume
(1971- )
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.

TV SINGLE DADS ---- Hall of Fame
Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein
Updated 20 July 2000 Click here to go to the update.
If someone told you in 1998 that two of the biggest movie stars of the
next
summer would be a seven-foot-tall frog named Jar Jar and a three-foot-tall
bald-headed clone named Mini-Me, you'd spill your popcorn.
What would you say if someone told you next year's most popular
catchphrase
was going to be "bling blong?" Well, grip your popcorn bag a little
tighter,
and let's continue.
A Note on Writer's Block
I've tried to write the opening to this interview for a week now, and it's
been impossible. There's so much I'd like to put in this article, but it
all
gets too confusing. I think what I'll do is go over a bit of the problems
I've been experiencing, and then get on with the interview part.
Here's one of the problems - when someone says "yes" to an interview about
their new show, it's difficult to avoid discussion of other elements of
their life. When Bill and Josh said "yes" to an interview, it was quite a
task for me to stick to the knitting about their WB show Mission Hill. I
had
a bunch of off-topic questions, mostly about Josh Weinstein. The simplest
question is: how many Josh Weinsteins ARE there in the entertainment
business? According to the entries in the Internet Movie Database, Josh
went
from doing the first season of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, to moving to
L.A., then, he started writing America's Funniest Home Videos, and bumped
Al
Jean and Co. out of the executive producer slot on The Simpsons Is he the
SAME Josh Weinstein who changed his name to "J. Elvis Weinstein" when he
executive produced UPN's Malcolm and Eddie? If there's another guy, how is
it possible to tell who did what?
I had a bunch of off-topic Bill Oakley questions, too. I mean, I knew
Bill
worked on the Harvard Lampoon, but did he also work on some Superman
comics?
This is where the Internet is a help and a hindrance, because it gives you
information based on people's names - - and lots of people have the same
name.
Of course, all this stuff sounded like stalker questions, so I tossed all
those questions out and focused on the show.

The Interview Hits a Bridge Abutment
Jim - Why are there so many Minnesotans involved with Single Dad shows? I
don't know if you've - like, Mike Farrell - is a single dad. Is - is there
something innately - funny about people from Minnesota in terms of single
dads?
Bill - I don't know.
Josh - I -
Bill - Neither of us are from Minnesota.
Jim - I didn't know if - I had something here that you were from
Minnesota.
Josh - No.
Jim - Oh, well, I apologize.
Bill - That's okay. We're from Wa****ngton, DC.
Josh - That's an interesting question, though.
--------------------
It was tempting to ask Bill and Josh to record a Krusty-style "I heartily
endorse this event or product" ID, but I went with the old familiar chant.
Click here to hear Bill and Josh's ID. It's in MP3 format, so if your WAV
player doesn't play it right, you really need to update your operating
system.
Okay, so the confusion continues. I was reading in a MST3K fan book that
says Josh Weinstein was introduced to Joel Hodgson by his high-school
buddy
and Writer's Block compadre Trace Beaulieu. The three of them write the
first season episodes of MST3K for KTMA in Minneapolis. Then, Josh goes to
Hollywood to do America's Funniest Home Videos.*
(*At the request of the folks at Satellite News, it should be noted that
The
Official MST3K FAQ available at www.mst3kinfo.com does not say this in its
bio of Josh Weinstein and never has. )
I found an article in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that seems to point to
a
grassy-knoll Weinstein, so perhaps this is the clue. Eerily, the OTHER
Josh
Weinstein has a new show coming out on NBC this fall, Freaks and Geeks.
Obviously more mistaken-identities for journalists everywhere.
Me? I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to watch Mission Hill and
see
if "bling blong" becomes a catchphrase. You heard it here first.

Nearly a Third of Primetime Is Now Ad Time
A recent study by PhaseOne Communications has determined that every three
hours of primetime programming includes 52 minutes of commercials and
promotions, up from an average of 28.5 minutes in the 1980s and 38 minutes
in the 1990s. PhaseOne's Terry Villines told the online edition of TV
Guide
Thursday that the current figure is 8 percent higher than it was four
years
ago. "We thought back then that networks had reached the breaking point,"
he
said.
