   	Well, why not give it a try?   
      
   	There's much about the Joel approach which appeals to me more   
   than the Mike approach.  That's not so much in the riffing as, I think,   
   the effort to make the host sketches closer to the monster movie host   
   rather than, particularly in the Sci-Fi Channel episodes, something   
   with a canonical universe behind it.   
      
   	The only two episodes I've seen that I can't really get into   
   are both Mike episodes, although that is with the special note that the   
   KTMA/Season Zero year is pretty much excluded.  That may be fair as   
   that was the season they largely figured out how to do the show, but   
   it does also mean eighteen (or twenty-one) Joel episodes that I mostly   
   find as a way to marvel over how good a comic voice J Elvis Weinstein   
   had at such a young age.   
      
   	In writing MiSTings I feel like I write Joel sketches better   
   than I write Mike sketches.  However, my riffing has gone to either   
   host with equal ease, so I suspect there's not so much difference   
   between How I Would Write The Show and how either host had the show   
   presented.   
      
   	So overall I suppose that I'd say I like Joel a touch better   
   than Mike, but bear in mind this is a small difference, and with big   
   standard deviations for comparing the episodes.  That is to say, it's   
   quite possibly a difference which would vanish if I actually listed   
   all the episodes I'd seen and ranked how much I like them.
