Subject:  TVs Frank news

hi everyone.  I’m posting this message for Jim Mallon, Producer of MST3K. 
 I have some sad news to report.  Best Brains is announcing today that
Frank Conniff or TVs Frank to all of us, has decided to leave the show for
new endeavors.  The following are Frank’s comments to you all:
___________________________________________

As of this January I’m leaving my job at “Mystery Science Theater 3000”. 
Why?  Because I’ve lost my mind.  But there are also a few other reasons. 
I’ve discovered that after 5 seasons and 109 episodes, I have a need for
change, even if change means losing the best job I’ve ever had and most
likely will ever have.  I have a need to grow and evolve and to find new
challenges and adventures in my life.

The hardest part about leaving MST3K will be having to say goodbye to
everyone here at Best Brains.  It is unlikely that I’ll ever be able to
find a group of people as intelligent, kind and down right fun as the BB
staff.  I will miss them all dearly.  They will no longer be my co-workers
but they will always be my friends.

This has been a hard decision for me to make, but everyone here has been
extremely supportive.  I’d like to thank all you fans for your love and
support throughout the years.  I hope all you Misties out there will be
equally understanding.  If any of you run into me in the future, I hope
you’ll be nice and tell me how much you enjoyed my work on MST3K and how
much you admired me for taking that big risk in my life when I left the
show.  If you do, I promise I’ll give you one of my patented TV’s Frank
smiles, look you straight in the eye and say, “would you like some fries
with your order?”

Frank Conniff
___________________________________________

Frank will be working on new projects including a humorous
autobiographical book and has, as he describes it, grandiose plans for
screenplays, TV shows, plays novels, etc.

I’m sure you all join us here at bbi in wishing Frank all the best albeit
with a tear in our eye.

Jim Mallon
