Joel McHale's New Show Looks Fantastic

by Chris Hardwick on May 4, 2009

I think we can all agree that Joel is phenomenal on “The Soup.” But there is not doubt that he will soon own a shiny chunk of Hollywood with some kick-ass new projects this Fall. First, McHale will pop up in The Informant, directed by a guy named Steven Soderbergh. Nextly, his NBC show, “Community,” just got picked up and looks nothing short of hilarious. (Come back for Chevy Chase? I hope so.) Check out the trailer below.

Joel is literally one of the nicest, funniest guys you could meet and I fully support the success of nice, funny people. AND SO SHOULD YOU!!!

Jesse Thorn May 4, 2009 at 8:58 am: Joel McHale and Chevy Chase are very, very funny.
Mark May 4, 2009 at 9:01 am: Whatever happened to “The IT crowd” or whatever it was called?
Tom May 4, 2009 at 9:09 am: NBC, lose the schmoozy music! That was hilarious!
Johnny Hugel May 4, 2009 at 9:13 am: Can’t wait. The much needed device to usher both McHale and Chase (back) into America’s homes.

Now who picked up the Norm MacDonald pilot?
Victor Morales May 4, 2009 at 9:19 am: The show looks promising but what will happen to The Soup?
Tony May 4, 2009 at 9:22 am: Did that guy just call him “Seacrest”?

Ooooh, it burrrrrrns.
KV May 4, 2009 at 9:49 am: Don’t forget, it also stars the guy from the Blackberry commercial with the talking butt and the McDonald’s snack wrap commercial in which he’s very decisive.
MGMDetroit May 4, 2009 at 10:18 am: Thanks for the opinion.
Deltus May 4, 2009 at 10:48 am: Damn, that looked really funny! Good to see Chevy Chase working again too.
Alex May 4, 2009 at 10:59 am: haha, cant wait for this
Harold May 4, 2009 at 11:59 am: I feel like I’ve seen the first episode already.
Natasha May 4, 2009 at 2:34 pm: Lol. That looked very funny, and I love Joel McHale!
ultimatenerd22 May 4, 2009 at 3:11 pm: Epic.
Michael LaMere (The Fish) May 4, 2009 at 3:57 pm: That does look really really good. I was a little afraid that his acting chops would be a little lacking, but as far as the trailers go, he seems pretty good. What’s most amusing about this whole thing is that I am going back to Community College right now to take some classes and this should hit home nicely.

Thanks for the information and I hope I don’t see too much of myself in McHales character, that would be just too damn pathetic.

Deltus May 4, 2009 at 5:24 pm: Well, ultimatenerd22, thanks for the completely off-topic and self-promoting link in the comments there. And by thanks, I mean “you’ve proven yourself to be a douchebag”. I might just DRDOS your domain on general principle. I shall mull it over, and see how malevolent I’m feeling in an hour or so.
ultimatenerd22 May 5, 2009 at 6:28 pm: i got my high-school nick name back.
ultimatenerd22 May 5, 2009 at 7:55 pm: Other than nerd, geek, freak, the walking dictionary, dale, and nube.
Kristi May 6, 2009 at 5:15 am: Wow. This looks like an intelligent, funny, worthy-of-my-attention show. Usually this means it will be cancelled after the first season.
Here’s wishing success for it instead!
sean808080 May 6, 2009 at 10:45 am: looks funny. We dig McHale. He’s that dangerous combination of cute and funny…much like you.

When do you get your network show?!?! We’d watch that!
ultimatenerd22 June 26, 2009 at 12:59 pm: i should tivo it with my new tivo
Phil July 5, 2009 at 9:22 pm: This show appears to take two things that I enjoy (Joel McHale and laughing at stuff) and mix them up like so much delicious brownie batter!

I can’t wait to set my DVR to record it while I waste away at work while it airs!
