Patton Oswalt Confirmed as Final New MST3K Cast Member
In an update to the ongoing MST3K Revival Kickstarter, series creator Joel Hodgson revealed the final new cast member for the returning series: Patton Oswalt.
Oswalt will be playing “TV’s Son of TV’s Frank,” the assistant Mad on the new series. He joins fellow mad Felicia Day’s Kinga Forrester, Jonah Ray as the new “test subject,” as well as the new ‘bot voices Baron Vaughn (Servo) and Hampton Yount (Crow).
Oswalt’s casting is a late addition to the show, as he hadn’t been approached until after the kickstarter had already begun (hence no fancy video revealing him), but his addition seems appropriate considering Oswalt’s considerable nerd-cred.
