You Should Absolutely Watch Joel McHale’s Upcoming Series on Netflix

After hosting The Soup on E! for eleven years, Joel McHale left the popular talk show to star in the NBC sitcom, Community. Now, McHale is returning to the host’s chair with his latest Netflix series, The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, billed as a “fast and funny distillation of everything people are talking about that week.”

The new talk show “takes a sharp, absurdist look at pop culture and news from across the globe,” and will include “celebrity guests, comedy sketches, and insane video clips from the worldwide realms of TV, sports, politics, celebrity culture, and every corner of the internet.” McHale shared a teaser for the series on Twitter earlier today.

hour talk show, The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale will ensure regular giggles for Netflix subscribers.
