The “Mystery Science Theater 3000” reboot has added former “Daily Show” head writer Elliott Kalan as its new head writer.

Series creator Joel Hodgson made the announcement on the show’s Kickstarter page on Friday morning. “To a lot of you, Elliott’s name is familiar because he was the former head writer from ‘The Daily Show,’ but he’s written lots of other great stuff too,” Hodgson said. “He was at the top of my wish list, so I’m really happy to have him on board.”

Kalan served as head writer on the Comedy Central satirical news program under former host Jon Stewart. During his tenure, the show won four Emmys for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Series.

First Patton Oswalt and now this guy. They are really putting outspoken liberals on this cast. I don't know about the other cast members though.
