Hailing from Seattle, WA and blessed with Irish and Nordic ancestral roots, Joel McHale is one of the whitest and fairest stars around. Armed with sunscreen, his Mariners jersey and plenty of Wellbutrin, Joel became a cast member of Comedy Central's 'Almost Live!'
Joel managed to complete the Actor's Training Masters Program at the University of Washington where he honed his acting craft, played video games incessantly and discovered his passion: single malt scotch.
Finally seeing his day in the sun, Joel took off for Southern California in pursue a future in acting and fell in with... with Korean BBQ. Well satiated with marinated beef, he quickly landed roles on 'Will & Grace' and CSI: Miami.'
Now he is the star/writer/producer of E!'s 'The Soup' which covers the most absurd, hysterical, surreal and wacky moments in the world of pop culture and current events.
