In Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Moltar is the director and producer of Space Ghost's talk show.

He tends to be very good friends with Zorak, even though Zorak does not have the same feelings for him.
Moltar Sells Out
From 1997 to 1999, Moltar was the original host of Cartoon Network's Toonami block, where he would broadcast action cartoons such as The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and Thundercats at the Ghost Planet Industries building, and give out moral advise to viewers. He would also broadcast Japanese anime series at around this time, including Sailor Moon, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, and Dragon Ball Z. After Toonami went through a brand refresh in 1999, Moltar passed his hosting duties to TOM (short for Toonami Operations Module), who permanently became its host in addition to several incarnations throughout its run (such as the block's revival on Adult Swim in 2012). Moltar was mentioned by TOM 1 during his introduction.[1] Later in a 2016 bumper, as tribute to the then-recently deceased C. Martin Croker, TOM 5 recieved a old transmission from Moltar, which SARA deciphered into a message of him acknowledging TOM's role on the block:[2]
| “ | Hey, TOM. I've been called back to Moltor and I won't be coming back. There's a money oven waiting for me. Just wanted you to know, I always thought I was a better Toonami host than you. Good luck never being able to fill my boots, sucker. ― Moltar's transmission[2] |
” |
Following the transmision, TOM wishes Moltar the best of future endavours and to keep his oven forever lit.[2]
In 2000, Moltar made an appearance in the Cartoon Network special "The Big Game XXVIII," where during the "halftime" segment, he and Fred Jones discuss on the latter's experience with the events of The Scooby-Doo Project.
