About the Show

Joel McHale is the star of NBC comedy series "Community," where he plays a lawyer forced to go back to community college after his undergraduate degree is declared invalid. While there, he forms a study group with other misfit students including Chevy Chase.

Joel also stars opposite Matt Damon in Steven Soderbergh's comedic thriller, "The Informant," playing an FBI agent working with agri-business insider Mark Whitacre (Damon) to stop a price-fixing scam.

Many know Joel from E!'s "The Soup," a weekly entertainment show which satirizes pop culture and current events. Joel's quick wit and sharp comedic timing have made "The Soup" a pop culture phenomenon, and Joel has been touring the country to sold-out audiences with his stand-up act.

Born in Rome and raised in Seattle, Washington, Joel was a history major at the University of Washington where he also was a member of their championship football team. In addition, Joel received his Master's of Fine Arts from UW's Actor's Training Program. After moving to LA, McHale landed roles on "Will & Grace," "CSI: Miami" and "Pushing Daisies." He also jumped onto the big screen with roles in "Spider-Man 2" and "Lords of Dogtown."
