It was bound to happen sooner or later. Another host from E!‘s The Soup would start to get the attention he/she deserved
Back in 1991, actor Greg Kinnear kicked off what was then known as Talk Soup. He is now probably better known for his Oscar-nominated work in As Good as It Gets. Since then, other hosts have moved on from that weekly program to varying degrees of success. (The most notable ones being Hal Sparks and Aisha Tyler.) Could current frontman Joel McHale soon be outgrowing the recap roundup as well?
It has just been announced that the 36-year-old comedian will be branching out from the clip show to work on a much larger project. Joel will soon be starring in The Informant, a new movie from director Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven). McHale is slated to play an FBI agent who will work alongside Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) and Matt Damon.
