I guess the timing does make sense, what with the strange purging of MST3K merchandise a few months back, and now Rifftrax hosting "MST3K Mondays"... I guess the rights have transferred to Joel, and maybe Mike and the rest of the crew.
I'm curious who will be involved with this. Joel is the only name I saw. Judging by the text, it seems there will be a new host. Wonder who they are eyeing.

I was one of the first 100 backers. I went in at the $200 level, my highest Kickstarter pledge to date.

A little more info here:

Those who he hopes to get involved include past cast members and writers, as well as a brand new cast that includes a fresh host as well as a new mad scientist and new voices for famous wise-cracking robots Tom Servo and Crow. “Basically, I’m trying to blend the old with the new,” says Hodgson. “Mystery Science Theater has already refreshed itself once with a completely new cast, so I think it deserves to do that again. The original cast is going to be invited back to write, produce, and do cameos as their mad science characters, and then there’s a new cast with new talent.”

Shout! Factory just picked this up. Not sure what type of platform this will be on. Probably online/digital/app based if I had to guess.

But I do recommend following Trace on The Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/trace.beaulieu ) because he very clearly likes talking directly to his fans and responses to their questions on his "wall" there.

Pass.
I loved MST3k, even made two overnight trips to see Cinematic Titanic.
You can't go home again.

One, you're both crazy. Two, neither will be the lead. As much as I love Joel and Mike, I'm ready for something new. Between MST, RT, FC, and CT, we have like 300 episodes of Mike and Joel already.

Officially in for $200. One day in, and Joel is approaching one million dollars! This will get two million easy, and likely to get the funds for a full 12 episode season.

Yeah, they're already dealing with that and have put out 20 some DVD sets, so they know what they're doing. Presumably the contracts for the new series will include DVD/streaming rights built in, so there won't be any complications.

And just because I've already read endless bitching online about how 3 episodes of a cheap puppet show should not cost $2 million, here is the pie chart Joel posted in his AMA yesterday...

Joel has collected 1.84 million in just under a week. In today's update, the new MST3K host is revealed to be...
Jonah Ray. I can't say that I'm familiar with his career. Looks like I have some YouTubing to do.
EDIT... darnit... beaten by a monkey.
