message: I thought he isn't married but according to this site he is.
:I wasn't able to confirm whether or not he is from a few google searches (or imdb), but I'm willing to defend that as established info unless someone can provide a source that he isn't.  He's certainly not married to Gypsy though. :) --Syrthiss 02:02, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

:Don't worry, you don't. From his interview for the Onion AV Club:
"It's really weird. A guy today was talking to me about Superman II. And I watched Superman II about six months ago, and there are parts of it I didn't remember. He was expecting me to remember, because people think of me as this videophile, and I kind of have to smile and nod and go, "Oh, yeah, I know what you mean." But I can remember parts of it. A good analogy is that my girlfriend is an attorney, and she has to read so much for her job that at the end of the day, when she wants to read for pleasure she rushes through it, kind of gleaning the information. She's not reading for pleasure. It just shows how your work affects you in different ways."
:Would that be the 1999 interview?  A lot can change in 10 years, evidenced by the fact he's wearing a wedding ring in the 2008 photo there.  --68.49.33.154 (talk) 22:57, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Does it say John Joel Hodgson on his birth certificate?  I remember back when Joel still ran gizmonics.com, he said his full name was Joel Gordon Hodgson.  Or was this some private joke I'm missing?

message: I've slapped an  tag on this article because most of the text in it isn't backed up by any of sources, explicit or implicit, listed in the article. I've added and reformatted some source citations to make it a bit clearer what is supported, but the article really needs heavy sourcing work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I reworded the discussion about Joel's departure from MST3K because it was trying to make an argument that the "real" reason he left was over the creative conflict between him and Jim Mallon. Reading the cited source, it's clear that his interest in staying behind the camera doing creation and production has always trumped his interest in performing. I believe my rephrasing better follows what the interview says — that there was more than one reason he departed, and that both were important factors. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have no idea if IMDB counts as a valid enough source for wikipedia to not immediately revert any changes, but I noticed his name in the credits of the first episode and looked it up. It's great to see him so heavily involved in the revival.
