Isn’t that great? Penn was the voice of Comedy Central back in the day. Just hearing him now takes me right back.

It was one of those things I didn’t think was necessary until he returned.

Penn is a MSTie himself, from way back. He hosted a half-hour promotional special about the show back in the early years of Comedy Central.

And I believe he quit Comedy Central precisely because of the way the execs were treating the show.

Yeah, I love all the promo’s that they have been doing recently with Penn.
According to Reddit, @timryder directed the voiceover sessions. Have any great stories from those sessions ,Tim?

Don’t misspell Penn’s name or remove the space between his name and ‘is’ or there’s a problem.

Only that Penn was a true enthusiastic professional who blazed through an hour’s worth of material in about 35 minutes. I only had to correct a couple pronunciations and give him a couple notes on delivery. Otherwise, he just nailed it all. I think he was genuinely excited about doing the VO for MST3K again. It was cool to see.

Honestly, that’s the vibe I got too. I can just hear the “wow!” after he says you’re watching Mystery Science Theater 3000.
