[3] In late June 2013 Comedy Central announced a television production of the show titled The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, which debuted in July 2014.

In February 2011, Ray revealed on an episode of the podcast that Jonah's Arcade, a video gaming-comedy pilot he created and stars in, was not picked up by Comedy Central.

In October 2012, Ray began hosting his own podcast Jonah Raydio featuring guests from various independent music scenes.

On November 16, 2015, Mystery Science Theater 3000 creator Joel Hodgson announced plans for Ray to host the series' upcoming continuation.

In April and May 2021, Joel Hodgson ran a second successful Kickstarter to produce season 13, in which Ray returned as Jonah Heston.
