I en blogpost innehållande en intervju med Joel Hodgson så erkänner Joel varför han verkligen slutade med MST3K:
SFBG: You left “Mystery Science Theater 3000” after 100 shows. I read somewhere that it was because you were tired of performing in front of the camera.
JH: That’s what I said. But it was a bit of a dodge. I was fighting with my partner [producer Jim Mallon]. That’s why I quit. I lied to everyone, basically.
Så, Jim Mallon, jag vet att du inte kan svenska så jag säger det på engelska… Shape up, you bastard!
