Michael J. Nelson, born October 11, 1964 in St. Charles, Illinois, has been nominated for two Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing for a Variety or Music Program, that program being Mystery Science Theater 3000, one of my favorite shows of all time.
According to imdb.com, he was working as a waiter at T.G.I. Fridays and doing stand-up comedy when he was offered a job typing for MST3K. He was allowed to make comments on the movies they were watching, and they were so impressed with his wit, they made him a staff writer. Later, he became the head writer.
Joel Hodgson picked him as his replacement when he left the show. One reason cited was because he looked great standing next to bots Crow, Tom Servo, and Gypsy.
