Buzz Interview: Five Minutes of Fun With Joel McHale

BuzzSugar — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:30:00 PST

I had the pleasure of chatting with Mr. Joel McHale earlier this week at the NBC party during the Winter TCA. As expected, the funny man had plenty of quips to share about The Soup and Community, plus a few additional pearls of wisdom (?). Stay tuned for my interview with his costar Alison Brie later this week (which includes a lot more fun about Community), but for now I couldn't resist sharing a few of McHale's wacky and weird one-liners:

On The Soup's audience: "Young people watch it on Saturdays, old people watch it on Fridays."
On Community: "It is the time of my life. I look forward to going to work every day."
Does he actually watch all the shows featured on The Soup: "How in the hell could I watch that much television?"
Will Community get more guest stars besides Jack Black? "Yeah, sure, Ryan [Seacrest]'s coming on, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Obama's gonna come on, it's gonna be great. Bilbo Baggins - the real living one is coming on - the cast of New Moon . . . I know you ladies love the gawky vampires."
How much longer will he pull double duty? "I don't know. I have another year left in my contract. I don't know what the future holds as far as that's concerned. I love doing it, they're all my friends and I love them. I'm having a great time doing it and that's my plan at this point, is to keep doing that. So we'll see.
New Year's resolution? "To quit smoking. I don't smoke, but my resolution is to remain smokeless. My skin is like teriyaki beef jerky."

Zombie Woman on the Judge Jeanine Pirro Show

Lady, you need to get your weird self to a diction specialist pronto! This zombie auctioneer style of talking to Judge Jeanine Pirro about how you had a distinguished career before you started working at a brothel isn't doing you any favors. Trust me.

Poor Doggie!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:00:00 PST

This poor dog's only crime is that he likes to eat food on the dinner table. (OK, that is pretty annoying, but still.) So his owners brought in a trainer to teach Stains (yes, that's his name) how to exhibit some self-control. Basically, Stains goes into a zombie-like hypnotic trance when faced with a plate of cupcakes. I know that expression well: It's the same look I get when face-to-face with a plate of nachos or some Southern fried chicken. Poor Stains. With a name like that, it's no wonder you have issues!

VH1's The Pickup Artist: The Most Douchetastic Show on Television?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:00:00 PST

I really need to start watching cable again. VH1's The Pickup Artist starring Mystery (you may remember him from yesterday's If You Had To . . . challenge) looks spectacularly hilarious. The premise is simple: take some dorks and have a man who dresses like a "goth aviator" tell 'em the secrets to picking up chicks. (It involves a lotta cheesy pickup lines, wearing fuzzy hats, and sporting guyliner.) "Someday," he tells the cool-challenged fellows, "you're going to get so good at this, you will teach it to your sons." Ha! Something tells me Mr. Brian already has some tricks up his sleeve . . .

Men in Thongs: Yea or Nay?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 07:00:00 PST

An eagle-eyed reader recently alerted Joel McHale from The Soup to soap star Cameron Mathison's thong-slip in an episode of All My Children. The bane of my existence, thongs are a wear-only-if-you-need-to appurtenance. If you're wearing bulky jeans, as this dude is, why on earth . . . oh, I'll stop and just ask you. Men in thongs: yea or nay?

Captain Underpants Is Not Ready for Prime Time

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:30:00 PST

The Soup is traumatizing us with all sorts of weirdness this week. Al Roker dressed up as a gingerbread man. And then this poor child dressed as. . .I don't know what it is. All I know is that usually screaming is a sign someone's not happy.

Flashback: Deep Thoughts From Gary Busey

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 09:00:00 PST

Gary Busey is not like you or me. Busey has been touched by a mad angel. This causes him to to rant, rave, and inspire others, as he does in this old clip from Celebrity Fit Club 4 which was introduced by The Soup host Joel McHale. I sooo need a victory juice injection to power through today . . .

Tyra Banks Is Out of Her Ever-Lovin' Mind

GiggleSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:00:00 PDT

Joel McHale from The Soup didn't even need to make jokes about this recent Tyra Banks taking a bath story. It pretty much makes the commentary on its own. Step away from the crazy, Tyra.
