MST3K stars head to Comedy Central for ‘@midnight’ with Chris Hardwick
Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) and Bill Corbett (Crow T. Robot) were on a little puppet show on Comedy Central from 1989 – 1996. MST3K moved to the Sci Fi Channel (now SyFy) till 1999 and then into syndication / reruns / shared video tapes / the world wide web / DVD releases and YouTube, where it lives on to this day.
The comedy trio continues to perform jokes during movies with weekly releases at RiffTrax.com and several performances a year broadcast into 650+ movie theaters nationwide with RiffTraxLIVE.com
Tomorrow, Tuesday June 9th at 11:59PM they return to the AirWaves / CableWaves / SatelliteWaves / InternetWaves / Waves on Comedy Central’s hit show @midnight with Chris Hardwick. #HashtagWars will ensue!
The next event is RiffTraxLIVE: Sharknado 2, on July 9th.

One good correction deserves another:
No, Ben, Bill Corbett did not write for MST3k when the show aired on CC from ’89-96. He didn’t even write or appear in the movie.
Nerdy correction dept: Bill Corbett did not take over the role of Crow T. Robot until after MST3K left CC-tho he did write for the show there.
