I saw J Elvis Weinstein at Acme last week, and I got him to sign my Beeper printed photo, which he did. I told him that Beeper was by far my favorite character on the show and that I gave up on it all together shortly after he became Servo. Now he got that it was joke, as I am a massive fan who has seen every episode. He laughed and we chatted a bit after the show, he is so funny.

My question is, how close was Beeper to becoming a mainstay, I know you created them the day before the shoot. Was there always a big picture plan to have two talking robots or is there an alternate universe where Beeper survived all ten seasons and a movie?

Anyways I love you as a creative inspiration and I am so thankful you made MST3K in the Twin Cities and thank you for helping define my sense of humor, as I am currently pursuing stand-up/comedy writing/improv. Thanks again!

Edit: correcting the structure to underline the fact that I was joking about Beeper actually being my favorite, I'm 29 so there really was no way for me to even know Beeper existed until the internet did. Thanks for the response though Joel! :D

Don't forget about he and Julio!

Just wanted to let you know I loved your film 'Dealing With Idiots'!

Got any other directorial plans in the future?

Thanks for taking the time to do an AMA!

I loved the "Uh, This is just like when I almost missed my 'Teens Encounter Christ' bus." line in Final Sacrifice, and although that wasn't an episode you were in; did you or any of the cast ever do TEC? That was one of those jokes that made me double-take, like 'Did they really just say that? That is amazing!' Thanks
