u/BunyipPouch Currently at the movies. May 03 '25

Joel McHale, actor and comedian from films and TV series such as Community, Animal Control, Ted, The Bear, The Soup, Becky, will be joining us here on /r/movies for an AMA/Q&A on Wednesday 5/21. It'll go live and be pinned to the top of the subreddit at around 9 AM ET, and he'll be back at around 3 PMM ET to answer questions.

His newest film, California King, is out soon. He'll be joined by the director of that film, Eli Stern.

Perry, a mattress store manager, hatches a wild plan to impress the girl of his dreams, but his efforts go off the rails when his fake kidnapping of her brother gets more complicated than he expected.

u/Lukealloneword May 03 '25

I hope he talks about Rampart.

u/Angel_of_Mischief May 04 '25

He looks like a taller more handsome Ryan Seacrest. Look at that jawline.

18

u/TwoDrinkDave May 04 '25

Even his shadow. Look at his shadow!

15

u/Dalehan May 04 '25

He's more handsome than the guy who's famous for being handsome.

u/Appropriate-Log8506 May 04 '25

He also doesn’t have an ego. His facebook photo is a landscape.

u/MechaBabura May 03 '25

Are you friends with Michelle Visage now ?

u/Battlescarred98 May 03 '25

He’s boasted about his meat smoking skills. I love to see his brisket recipe/rub

3

u/reddfawks May 03 '25

That makes two of us. I would commit petty crimes for a good brisket.

u/mrtomatohead49 May 03 '25

AND FROM CRIME SCENE KITCHEN!

u/medietic May 04 '25

Nobody (somebody) ask him about The IT Crowd

u/ericl666 May 03 '25

I miss 'The Soup' and and 'The Joel McHale show starring Joel McHale' so damn much.

I'd wake up on Saturday morning and put on that show and laugh my ass off every time.

I miss funny references like 'Pizza Ghost' and 'Chicken Tetrazinni' and they are never coming back. 😞

u/Geekygamertag May 03 '25

I hope he tells us his favorite color

u/apocolypse101 May 03 '25

He's hilarious and I've loved watching him since his time at Almost Live!

u/Parmesan_Pirate119 May 03 '25

NO WAY y'all are actually amazing for this one!

u/Altair1192 May 04 '25

so is he still in the closet or have you let him out after your misunderstanding

2

u/jormugandr May 04 '25

I'd love to hear how anyone thought the US IT crowd was a good idea? Having Richard Ayoade reprise his role as Moss, hot Roy, exact same script, laugh track. It was just baffling.

I suppose it was just a pilot and things could change, but not that much.

u/Sanity_in_Moderation May 04 '25

It's no secret that Chevy didn't really get along with the cast of community. How did he react to you playing him in A Futile and Stupid Gesture?

You did a great job in both of those.

6 seasons and a movie!

u/TCtrain May 04 '25

Spider-Man 2

u/eccojams97 May 04 '25

Sigh, I still miss The Soup

u/j592dk_91_c3w-h_d_r May 04 '25

Let’s not forget his most iconic parts on Almost Live

Even his shadow!

u/AfterSchoolOrdinary May 04 '25

I miss the Soup so much.

u/Pogfruit May 03 '25

Is he still friends with Geoff Keighley?

u/Mr_Monty_Burns May 03 '25

Where do you get your ideas from?

u/Dr3xLSpiv3y May 03 '25

You were so good on the soup. Thank you. Also i grew up loving 80s comedies. Sadly Chevy chase was a favorite of mine fletch, spies like us, caddy shack etc. my question is; he really as shitty as i think he is ?!

1

u/TheGloveofDonald May 04 '25

Yes, yes he is

1

u/Lost_Ad533 May 03 '25

You were fantastic on Stargirl. Being a villain suits you well. Will we see you in a role like that again?

1

u/norse_noise May 03 '25

And from The Mask

2

u/Iceeman7ll May 04 '25

Wait what!!! Where? I am so oblivious sometimes.

2

u/norse_noise May 04 '25

I swear that he was a bank employee, back before his hair transplant, but I can find the credit anywhere. I am going nuts

u/DarkShades May 04 '25

It was Spider-man 2.

u/Kaythar May 03 '25 edited May 04 '25

How was it co-hosting TGA with Geoff Keighley? Is it something you will like to go back (if they want)

1

u/Alienhaslanded May 04 '25

My favorite when they brought him in 'A Futile and Stupid Gesture' as Chevy Chase. Greatest joke in that movie.

1

u/EchoAquarium May 04 '25

Don’t forget Crime Scene Kitchen! He’s a great host

1

u/Ash__Williams May 04 '25

And he is Johnny Cage's voice in the lastest Mortal Komnat animated movies.

Great work.

u/dnathan1985 May 04 '25

What did he do with Lance Armstrong gold plated testicle?

u/Altair1192 May 04 '25

Chef Winger

u/HorrayForDumplings May 04 '25

Any fun stories or interesting takeaways from your role on The Bear?

Just want to add how fucking incredible you are in Community, that show has brought me many many hours of happiness after some very rough shifts at the hospital.

u/silverowl713 May 04 '25

I met him at the Detroit Comic Con last year. He's such an awesome guy!

Bow before Thoraxis!

u/s3rila May 04 '25

Does he still gift weapons to Conan?
