Editing Mystery Science Theater 3000 (section)

By 1996, Comedy Central had started creating an identity for its network under the new leadership of [[Doug Herzog]], which would lead to successful shows like ''[[The Daily Show]]'', ''[[Win Ben Stein's Money]]'', ''[[South Park]]'' and ''[[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist]].'' This left ''MST3K'' as an oddity on the network taking up limited program space. Herzog, though stating that ''MST3K'' "helped put the network on the map" and that its fans were "passionate", believed it was necessary to change things around due to the show's declining and lackluster ratings.<ref>{{cite magazine | url = https://www.ew.com/article/1995/12/15/rip-mystery-science-theater-3000 | title = R.I.P.
