Jonah Heston is a fictional character featured in the renewal of the American science fiction comedy television series Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). He is portrayed by actor/comedian Jonah Ray.[1]
Overview
The first episode of the renewal of the series explains Jonah’s backstory: formerly an ore transporter and inventor for Gizmonic Institute, Jonah was tricked into believing that a moon station was experiencing an emergency[2]: he landed his transport spaceship on-site, and then was captured by Kinga Forrester and Max, respective children of primary villains of a previous iteration of the show, Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank. He was immediately transported onto the Satellite of Love in order to renew the Forrester experiment: being subjected to terrible movies to see which might drive him crazy. On the satellite, he found the ’Bots Tom Servo, Crow, Gypsy, and Cambot, who assist him in getting through the movies.
Jonah has been the host from 2017-2018, for Seasons 11 and 12[3], and his time has brought a return of the “invention exchanges,” where he and his tormentors would come up with whimsical inventions, a common feature when Joel Robinson was the test subject from the beginning of the series until he escaped with the help of the ’Bots.
Name
Jonah’s character was named for Charlton Heston, in a reference to his participation in the Planet of the Apes series of movies.[3]
