Mike, Kevin and Bill will be on Comedy Central on the Chris Hardwick hosted "@midnight" on June 9th. Was this announced already? I know I saw it on Satellite News, but I don't remember reading it here, and don't see it...but anyway... Should be fun.

Ah, very cool! I've enjoyed @midnight and noticed a few of the old Best Brains crew participate in their Twitter games, especially Josh, so this should be cool! I'll have to remember to tune in.

Thanks for the heads up. That Hardwick kid does a nice job on Talking Dead but I've never seen his show.

He's really done well for himself after crawling out of the 90's MTV sludge - co-hosting Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy - to his whole Nerdist thing and his current hosting duties. @midnight is fun, the Rifftrax guys should be great for the format.

Caught this last night and it was really good. Hardwick even mentioned at the beginning that it was the first time they had been on Comedy Central since Mystery Science Theater 3000 (even though Bill was never on CC). For the garbage recognition that network has given the show over the years, it was really nice to hear that, actually. http://instagram.com/p/3uzvf9pGmo

I watched it last night and thought that it was great. A bit tired now though. Back in the 90's I could watch MST3K from midnight-2AM and not feel so bad the next day. Last nights show ended at 12:30. Fun getting old. Anyway the folks at Rifftrax posted this on Facebook Missed last night's episode of @midnight with the guys? You can watch the entire episode on Hulu or Comedy Central! www.cc.com/…/-midnight-tuesday--june-9--2015-season-…

Saw it last night and also thought it was great! I really liked the part where they made names for boring reality shows.

Never seen the show before. It was hysterical.

I was wondering how they'd do in this format (some very funny folks have floundered), but they crushed it.
Crushed it!

On too late for me. I DVR'd it. It was funny. Uh...what was with that footage of that giant puppet art exhibit from Australia? What on God's Green EARTH were the people thinking who put that little nightmare together?! That was just BIZARRE! (And ugly). It gave birth, but it looked like a guy...with boobs and a vagina. And why hit it on the head with a BRICK?! Guess you had to be there? Anyway...the show was good. The guys were funny. Don't get the point system, though. I guess it's like Whose Line is it Anyway? where the points don't matter? Everyone gets points for their answers throughout the show, then - they're just wiped clean and one person gets to "win" for their last answer? Doesn't make sense, but I guess it's just a show and they're just goofing around so the rules don't have to make sense.

I've only ever seen one other episode of "@midnight" (the one that featured Greg Proops), and usually the one with the least points gets disqualified, and leaves the set, but here Chris said he didn't want to break up the team and allowed Bill to stay (ironically, Bill ended up "winning" anyway).

Also, the point values increase mysteriously at points because of jokes too dirty for air.

Also, the point values increase mysteriously at points because of jokes too dirty for air. I noticed the editing was choppy. Wow, not sure what horrible things could have been said or shown that didn't make the cut. Perhaps there were jokes that Comedy Central considered TOO tame/nuanced/obscure to air. You know, like much of MST3K's humor.

I'm guessing it was some sort of population control experiment because I'm pretty sure after seeing that those poor victims....I mean, children....aren't going to be into procreation much when they grow up.
