Of course Josh started it since he refused to go along with the Corporate Sellout of MST3K. Josh was an independent Free-Improv comedian on the show and he kept it that way. That's why Josh was kept as an underpaid intern maxing out at $25 per show despite Josh being a co-creator of the show with Joel...

I THOUGHT it was just an off-version of Ronald Reagan to go with Lisa (instead of Jodie) Foster.
Recently while watching a video about the Iran-Contra Affair, I was shocked to realize Donald Regan was a real person! The writers didn’t just make up a funny name, that was Reagan’s Chief of Staff!
Snuck this past the censors!!
