Magic Voice is the voice of the Satellite of Love's computer on the science fiction/comedy TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000. She provides general announcements, like "commercial sign in 15 seconds", but occasionally participates in the dialog of the show's "host segments". Her personality implies a maturity somewhat lacking in the rest of the crew. She is a robot, as revealed in episode 424 "Manos" The Hands of Fate, when Joel temporarily gave her and the other bots a protocol module, making them think everything Joel said or did was absolutely brilliant.
In episode 518 The Atomic Brain, Magic Voice "appeared" in a segment of her own, conversing with the disembodied voice of the narrator from the film. She also counselled Tom Servo about making out in episode 418 Attack of the Eye Creatures and collaborated with Cambot to show Crow and Servo what life would be like if Mike had a different personality in episode 608 Code Name Diamond Head. At the end of season 7, Magic Voice became pure energy along with the rest of the SOL crew (despite the fact that she had no material body to begin with). She did not "reappear" until episode 809 I Was a Teenage Werewolf.
Several people provided the voice of Magic Voice throughout the series, but writer Mary Jo Pehl, who also played Pearl Forrester in seasons 6-10, assumed the role more or less permanently in the later years of the show until she began to be featured as Pearl, at which point the role was taken over by Beth "Beez" McKeever. Throughout the show's run on the Sci-Fi Channel, Magic Voice spoke only twice, once in season 8 and once in season 9.
