Hey, it's Jonah! We all know Jonah.

Born in Hawaii, and later moved to Los Angeles, he started out as a punk rock musician before transitioning to comedy. I guess that explains the wicked drum skills!

While slugging it out in the stand-up comedy trenches, he also worked on a bunch of TV shows, notably The Andy Milonakis Show and The Soup.

And when you think of comedians and the early aughts/teens, what word immediately comes to mind? Of course--podcasts! Jonah was a cohost on the Nerdist Podcast, and in 2012 launched his own music-related one called Jonah Raydio.

Of course, his greatest achievement in the field of entertainment (as far as we're concerned) came with his casting as Jonah Heston on the re-animated television show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, our new host for season 11 -- and beyond! (In addition to the other hosts that participated in season 13, but we'll get to them when we get to them.)

Happy birthday, Jonah -- and well done, sir! I know riffin' ain't easy, but you make it look like a cool breeze from a circular air-recycling system.
