J. Elvis Weinstein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

J. Elvis Weinstein is an American writer and performer, best known for his roles as Dr. Laurence Erhardt and the original puppeteer/voice for Tom Servo on Mystery Science Theater 3000; he was one of the founding writers/performers of the show in 1988 at the age of 17. He changed his professional name from "Josh" to "J. Elvis" to avoid confusion with former Simpsons writer Josh Weinstein. The two are frequently confused nonetheless.

After leaving Mystery Science Theater 3000, he went on to become a writer for My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star, Malcolm in the Middle, and the critically acclaimed NBC dramedy Freaks and Geeks. He has also been the head writer for NBC's late night show Later with Greg Kinnear, and America's Funniest Home Videos.

Weinstein has an extensive background in stand-up comedy; he has performed over a thousand shows as a stand-up comedian, and has also written material for Garry Shandling, Dennis Miller, Roseanne Barr, Louie Anderson and other comedians. He is currently the president of Stinkburger.com.
