Mary Jo Pehl (/piːl/; born February 27, 1960, in Circle Pines, Minnesota) is an American writer, actress, and comedian. She is best known for her various roles on the television series Mystery Science Theater 3000. Pehl was one of the writers on MST3K. From 1992 to 1996, Pehl played the role of "Magic Voice", a disembodied woman's voice who would announce upcoming commercials at the beginning of the show. In 1996, she began playing the role of Pearl Forrester, the mother of Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu), initially as a guest character and then as a recurring character on the departure of TV's Frank (played by Frank Conniff). When Beaulieu left the series at the end of the seventh season, she took over as the head "mad" on the series. She would retain that role to the show's end in the tenth season. Pehl also played a number of other small roles on the series, such as "Jan in the Pan", a woman's head that had been removed from a body (inspired by the movie The Brain That Wouldn't Die), and "White Trash Party Girl" from the MST3K episode 517 "Beginning of The End". In the Bonus Features of the DVD release of The Leech Woman, as part of the larger, special (tin container) release of the 25th Anniversary Edition (12/2013), Pehl is featured in an ongoing series, Life After MST3K.
