I love Joel McHale so much. I watch The Soup just about every week as I subscribe to it on iTunes and it never fails to cheer me up. That show is obnoxious and oh so funny. They promote a lot of E! shows by mocking them, although it does seem like they’re gentler on the reality twits that E! churns out, particularly the Kardashians. In a new interview with JustJared, my imaginary occasional husband/weekend hookup I never have to clean up after, (married women know what I’m talking about) says that they’re barred from mentioning Kim’s sex tape at all. It makes me so happy to hear Joel mildly trash the Kardashians. Oh and in regard to the sickening amount of wedding coverage, you can go to E! for that. We’ll get to it eventually but the truth is we really don’t care.
JJ: What is it like to work on Community?
JM: “It is thrilling to be on that show and we just added John Goodman to be the new Vice Dean and Michael K. Williams from The Wire – he is our ex-con Biology teacher and he is hilarious. Get ready for some good times!”JJ: Tell us about your upcoming movie Ted with Mark Wahlberg.
JM: “It’s done! That was so fun! Seth MacFarlane is a genius and he wrote the script that has the same joke style as Family Guy, but it’s live action and has Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. Seth is a great director and does a great job on telling the story of the characters. It’s rare that I read a script and laugh out loud.”JJ: Has The Soup had any backlash with people that have been joked about on it?
JM: “I know the Kardashians don’t like me. No one has said ‘how dare you,’ reality stars without exception have come up to me and have said ‘Thank you for making fun of me.’ We made so much fun of Jake Pavelka, and he responded by coming on the show. With the Kardashians we’re not allowed to say they have a sex tape anymore because the network flips out. Tyra Banks was the only one that tried to make us not feature her show on ours, but then she changed her tune, and then she went off the air, much to our great disappointment.”JJ: What shows are you looking forward to make fun of on The Soup?
JM: “Dancing with the Stars is the show that keeps on giving. I also love Hoarders and My Strange Addictions, I like all the weird shows.”
[From Just Jared]
Yay, John Goodman is coming to Community! I love this anticipatory time of year, when we wait for all our favorite shows to come back. Most of them end up disappointing me, but not Community, that show is consistently hilarious and ridiculous. I don’t think it’s just the fangirl in me that is clouding my judgment. Community is coming in one month, with the premiere slated for September 22. *Claps hands and tries not to look like a total dork*
As for Kim’s sex tape, of course they’re not allowed to mention it on The Soup. The Kardashians think they own E! because they helped put them on the map. They were the right famewhore family that was there when the planets were aligned perfectly. We needed some more faux celebrities to mock and they fit the bill so nicely. Now they think they’re royalty when they’re just the next generation of soap opera.
Check out Joel with his family. So cute!

Ugh The Soup is the only worthwhile show on E! I’ve watched it since high school way back when Kinnear hosted. Mchale is a great host-those Lardassians are trash and he should be able to say whatever he wants. Oh and those little boys are adorable. I still haven’t watched Community yet I keep meaning to have a Netfix marathon.
Since that sex tape is what made Kims career,you’d think she’d be giving it away as Christmas presents.
*nervously looks around with shifting eye* clears throat…did joel get hair plugs
Joel McHale: my number one TV crush. Sigh…
And the Kardashians really need to get over themselves. I wonder how the late Robert Kardashian sr. would’ve thought about all of this. He never struck me as a good person but at least… sensible on some level.
LOVE. HIM. And I love how he consistently trashes Gaycrest. It almost makes up for the fact that Gaycrest is responsible for the whole Kartrashian Klan “reality” mess. ALMOST.
The Soup (and some of the True Hollywood/Crime documentaries) is the ONLY REASON to watch E!
Otherwise, it’s all Bobble-Headed Rancid (no typo), Gaycrest, and “reality” craptastic stuff. No thank you.
I was really pissed off when I saw this.
Wonder if it’s Dame Seacrests’ idea.
Joel should be able to make fun of the
Kardashians, they are the epitome of famewhory (new word).
She must be po’d that the conflict in Libya heated up and pushed her off the front pages. You know, sometimes real and important news does trump trash.
I like the Soup too, but I am one of the few who likes, or at least will admit to it, The Khardashians. I agree with most of the comments about them, but I still enjoy their show. I find that I laugh quite a bit at their antics and the sly things they say. I still find Scott to be the best of all of them though. I think I like the show because they are funny, a close knit family, which I like and they are attractive. Though I wonder why Kris is so hard on Scott when her son is such a loser. He is the only one I can’t stand on the show. I am also fickle so I go back and forth on who I like and why.
I thought Joel was gay…my mistake! Please, Celebitchy, no wedding coverage, just to be different! I love the fact that you only did one article!
I love Joel. I always thought if I was on a reality show, I’d do stupid stuff just in hopes that I’d make it to the soup!
If Joel can’t say it, I will…..”she is famous for her big ass and a sex tape.” Love The Soup!
Love Joel, The Soup, and Community (but Donald Glover/Troy is my fave -“yell at me all you want, but I’ve seen enough movies to know that if you poke a hole in the back of a raft, it will go faster!”)
The Soup used to refer to Kim as “famous for a big ass and a sex tape”. Sad the E folks don’t think everyone knows that’s all she is.
I’ve never seen photos of Joel’s wife or kids before – she’s pretty, and the kids are cute!
Andrea, you beat me to it!
His kids are damn cute. They have such fine faces. So adorable.
@lucy2 – one of my favorite quotes!
I used to think that Kim was kind of pretty… but lately she has REALLY freaked me out. There’s something surreal looking about her face… more so than normal. I don’t know if she got pre wedding work done, but she looks like a creepy doll or something.
I adore Joel. I love the soup, and community. I love that he makes fun of Seacrest, then on Community they have a running gag of him looking like him lol.
The ONLY thing I’ve really questioned about Joel is this whole Spy Kids movie… he makes fun of stuff like that but willingly did it for a movie. I’m chalking that up to him doing something his kids could enjoy.
Did he mate with his sister??? Creepy!!!!
I love him and The Soup! Such a funny show and ITA, it is the ONLY decent thing on E!.
I’m not sure I want to live in a world where the Kardashians (Kardashii?) make more money than Joel McHale.
I didn’t know he had a family! How cute!
I knew it!!
PLEASE don’t cover the wedding! I love that you all have only posted one tiny article about it. If everyone would just ignore them, they wouldn’t be raking in MILLIONS for nothing. I prefer celebrity blogs that mostly ignore reality famewhores.
Love Joel and love watching the Soup. His family is sooo cute.
Big fan of Joel mcHale, I have to please asked to not stop the comedy ,
P.s. ~ Joel if you continue to mention the trashiest family in the world maybe they’ll stop and go away !!!!!! TEAM MCHALE!!!!!
I would be more down with the fact that they are a close family, except for the fact that they are all tacky, soulless fame whores who somehow think that they have a “brand” that any sane person would want to emulate. Their fashion line is seriously the ugliest celebrity line I have ever seen. Way worse than Whitney Port’s.
I Love Community. Discovered it a while back and waiting on season #2 to come out on DVD so I can catch up.
McHale and Goodman, YAY!
“the truth is we really don’t care. ”
Yeah, uh, WE DON’T EITHER. Really enjoying the absence of wedding coverage at CB.com today!
You know, I’ll hand one thing to Seacrest: the man can take a joke. He thinks Joel is funny. I seriously doubt he’s the one enforcing this “no sex tape” rule – that sounds like something coming from a certain big-assed girl who has totally forgotten that she isn’t actually famous for being a famewhore, but for being a whorewhore.
If Joel McHale got hair plugs, they look pretty good and tastefully done. He didn’t go all little-kid-from-the-Munsters on us.
What is that thing in that shiny jacket? Is it real?
Glad you decided not to kover the Kardumphries…, other than Linnocent’s exemplary behavior at the wedding. Thanks.
So Joel cant bring up the sex tape..we still know how Kim got famous.
I love when Joel makes fun of the spanish soap operas,hilarious.
Love the Soup and hope that Joel doesn’t leave it anytime soon. I’ve noticed over the years the hosts think they’re moving on to bigger and better things and just up and leave.
It must be a new thing because he certainly used to introduce clips about Kim saying that “she’s famous for having a big ass and a sex tape…”
Love Joel McHale too!
Joel did SOMETHING with his hair. Those who remember The Soup in the earlier days when it was a bit more budget should also remember his receeding hair. However, whatever he did, it looks great.
I do love the Kardashians. In the wrong way. It’s soooo great to watch them try to be wholesome and like any other family. It’s just so funny that they think they are such fashionable, influential people.
the fact that he is a silver toungued devil was the reason i started watching community – i doubt he would put his name to anything he would make fun of!
boo to the kardashian ki-bash! seriously, that was one of my favorite parts of the soup… “Kim’s famous for her fat ass and sex tape!” – my hubby and i always busted a gut when he said that!
@Original Ashley – I know, it’s my greatest fear, but also my greatest wish that people will realize how awesome Joel is and he’ll be too busy to do the Soup. I mean, Greg Kinnear went on to bigger and better, but the rest of them have kinda floundered (Aiysha Tyler, Hal Sparks, etc). Isn’t it amazing how that show manages to cast such great talent for hosts?
I have to roll my about about this Kardashian thing. It’s absolutely ridiculous that this family has, essentially, made an entire network it’s b!tch! And I’m really rolling my eyes at Peecrust, who was on CBS Sunday Morning, talking about how he doesn’t mind being the butt of the joke when you know that he’s using his clout to protect his investment i.e. the Kardashians.
I would only understand a tenth of the coverage of this wedding if anything about the bride and groom was interesting. Neither of them are virgins (as the sex tape indicate); neither of them endured any kind of tragedy recently; neither of them had to endure ups and downs in this particular relationship because they ran, top speed, to the altar. I hope this marks the end of such profound foolishness, but I kinda doubt that.
I am definitely going to have to start watching The Soup after all these comments that it is awesome! I only watch it sometimes the last minutes before Fashion Police comes on.
Joel is amazing and –at least on E! Latin America– that and Fashion Police are the only two reasons why I watch that channel. The rest is just Kardashian… Which is a shame, because i remember that channel was really entertaining years ago. I guess the little tiny Seacrest hand is behind most of the contents of that channel now.
I love how they make fun of the Spanish telenovelas too!!!
As someone who 1) loves Joel, and 2) was forced to watch Spy Kids 4 this weekend, I must say that he has definitely done something to his hair… something bad … like, Travolta-quality-hairpiece bad. You can really tell when it’s on the big screen, where his five-head meets the sharp line of a matte, furry rug. It’s either a piece or a combination of ratting/back-combing plus Toppix (hair in a can). Either way, not pretty.
Oh Joel, don’t you know we will still love you bald? Or in a hat, whatever.
“… Kim, who is best known for her big ass and her sex tape, and Khloe and Kortney, her two dead-behind-the-eyes sisters…”
And then there are the truly frightening screen grabs of Bruce Jenner’s face.
“The Soup” is one of my must-watch shows – my husband & I are huge fans! Been watching it since the Kinnear, John “Skunk-Boy” Henson, Aisha Tyler days. I wondered how long he was going to be get away with bashing the Kardashians. Ryan, you’re always going to be that insecure little fat kid, aren’t you? King Seacrest probably rules the E! office. But Joel is way cooler than Ryan could ever be lol!
I love this guy and ‘The Soup’, I’m not surprised the Seacrest and E protect the Kardashians, after all aren’t they just a ‘hard working’ family? (cough, gag, cough)
IMO Seacrest (however you spell his name) is just as nauseating as the Kardashians.
Ron Kardashian may seem like he’s drifting through life without any plan (okay, he’s the most underachieving Kardashian) but with the Kardashians making almost $100 million last year alone, he’s getting paid something! He doesn’t seem very happy on the show, kinda sad and embarrassed most of the time. I’m not sure that Robert Sr. would be very happy with his daughters paths in life, but it would be much harder for Lil’ Rob. He is the only boy and the namesake. Maybe if his dad were still alive, he’d have given him a few kicks in the ass and some direction. Rob seems to be forgotten by his mom who is much more into her girls.
Bruce seems like a truly nice guy, a terrific stepdad to those kids. I often wonder if he gets a little put off by the craziness and especially with his wife. Plus, his plastic surgery is the worst. He used to be so handsome – whoever talked him into doing that to his face should be slapped. What a shame!

Ryan, you’re always going to be that insecure little fat kid, aren’t you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOL!!!
And this is why every red carpet that Peecrust hosts suck!!!! That Lil Big Man doesn’t have the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with the A-List, which is why he’s trying to dilute the A-List by pushing D-List trash like the Kardashians all the time.
DiPandi Rancic has the same problem – she never got over wearing that scoliosis brace.
I love Joel McHale and have loved The Soup since the very beginning as well. Joel is the best smarm master ever. It is hands down my favorite show, so much so that as we travel the world, it’s the only thing I have an itunes subscription for!
“It’s OK tiny pony, we found someone to ride you” (cuts to picture of Seacrest on the smallest horse in the world). “I knew he’d ride sidesaddle.”
hahahahahaha!
Dunka doo balls!
The thing I don’t like about Kim is she tries to portray she’s not a drinker, not a party girl, and is clean cut and wholesome, when it’s obvious she’s not.
She partied back in the day with Paris Hilton, where she was seen chugging from a vodka bottle, she released her own sex tape and is probably still making money off it, and she willingly posed for Playboy and W Magazine nude.
I’m sure Pimp Mother Kris had something to do with The Soup not being able to mention the sex tape. She must protect her “brand” after all.
OMG I love me some Joel! I got rid of cable in June and haven’t missed anything but The Soup! Thanks for letting me know about suscribing on ITunes – totally going to do that tonight!
And hairplugs or not, Mr. McHale is the sexiest man on tv, bar none! All hail Spaghetti Cat!
That was a fetish tape she got PISSED ON! Now she thinks she’s an “American Princess”? WHORE please!
I LOVE THE SOUP!
Brin, I think it is famewhorery. It was put in websters last year with a picture of Paris Hilton.
Need to catch an episode of The Soup or Community.
I think his wife looks like Anniston.
I only started watching Kardashian shows this summer. Some of it is mildly entertaining some of it I can’t stomach. I used to like Kim until I watched the stuff after Khloe got engaged and the New York show-she is so transparent. It bothers me that she goes on record saying stuff on the show then in public presents something different obviously for $$ and under Momma’s influence (e.g. W magazine breakdown/ jealous rant over Khloe’s marriage). Crass though she is, I like Khloe and her show. Somehow the woman still has values. Nonetheless, if they all go away I won’t be sad.
McHale should try to put a spin on the situation. He should mention them (lightly) then backtack and act like he doesn’t want to talk about them b/c maybe if he doesn’t mention them they’ll go away. Like show a wedding picture or talk about the wedding then quickly say, “oh wait. I can’t talk about them. Maybe if we all stop they’ll disappear.” But I’ve never seen the show and don’t know if thats feasible.
Now, now, now you guys. Don’t be so hard on Kim Kardashian…it’s gotta suck when you’re in denial that your sex tape is the only reason people know who you are.
She looks like a bird.
I haven’t been watching The Soup lately, but I agree with most comments that it’s hysterically funny and the only thing on E! worth a damn.
Seacrest and the Kardashians are ruining E. And you can pretty much tell that people are tiring of it. The only people who cared about the wedding were their 50 fans, Seacrest and the Kardashian zombies. Kudos to the celebs who refused to take part in that mess. E only has a couple of entertaining shows, the Soup and Fashion Police. It’s sad when I’m more excited to see a new episode of Ice and Coco or Kendra than another Kardashian rerun crammed down my throat. I wonder if that’s why Chelsea Handler was not on last night because King Seacrest didn’t want to hear a negative remark about the wedding. Which I did see E News and it just seemed tacky, overblown and the people who pander to this mess are delusional.
I have never watched the Kartrashians but I know who they are, you would have to live in a cave, they are everywhere, like cockroaches. What have these people contributed to society, they are crass, disgusting marketers of themselves for the sake of cash. Oh yeah, I forgot they give money to Pimp Mama Kris’ church! I have not commented on them before, and I have vowed to myself after this disgusting fake wedding where all sorts of money was spent while people are struggling in this economy, I felt like it was a slap in the face of humanity. I don’t give a shit for this whole disgusting trashy family. Good riddance.
Those kids are beautiful!! I hope they get his sense of humor too…
I love “The Soup”!! My favorite bit was when they did the bit for the Rainbow Brite movie, with Joel as Rainbow Brite.
Joal your show is the only show i would give blood for.WERE DO I SIGHN AGAINST E for putting you out for Chelcy . Youve shown me all the reasons why im glad im not gay
You made some decent factors there. I seemed on the internet for the problem and located most individuals will go together with along with your website.
I love Joel Mchale and the Soup. Its the only show on E! worth watching. I think the Kardashians are just jealous becasue Joel has real talent and worked hard to get where is today and hes a wholsome descent person something they know nothing about. And everything Joel says about them is the truth anyway.
P.S Joel has the cutest family!
It is in point of fact a great and useful piece of information. I’m glad that you just shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
