Early life

[edit]

McHale was born in Rome, Italy, on November 20, 1971,[1][2] the son of Jack McHale, who worked as the dean of students at Loyola University's Rome Center, and his wife Laurie. His father is American and is from Chicago, while his mother is Canadian and a native of Vancouver.[3] McHale is of Irish and Norwegian descent,[4] and was raised Catholic. He grew up on Mercer Island, Washington, and briefly lived in Haddonfield, New Jersey, before returning to Mercer Island.[5] He attended Mercer Island High School.[6] He received a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Washington in 1995, and was briefly in the Theta Chi fraternity but left it because he "couldn't stand it."[7]

McHale was recruited to be on the University of Washington's rowing team but later joined its football team. He was a walk-on as a tight end. He spent two years with the team but did not play in any games. He was on the team that played in the 1993 Rose Bowl.[8][9] He was part of the Almost Live! cast, a local sketch comedy television show produced by Seattle's KING-TV. From 1993 to 1997, he was a member of the improv comedy group at Unexpected Productions, participating in Theatersports! at the Market Theater located in Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle.[10] He received an MFA from the Professional Actors Training Program at the University of Washington.[11]

Career

[edit]

Hosting

[edit]

In 2004, McHale began hosting The Soup, a satirical weekly television show on the E! television network. Throughout the show, he takes the audience through the oddities and ridiculous happenings of the week in television. He frequently appears as a co-host on Loveline. He has been a judge on Iron Chef America. McHale made a guest appearance on the finale of Last Comic Standing's sixth season, when he recapped the show's events in his typical format of jokes made popular on The Soup. He made an appearance as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race season 11, episode 4, "Trump: The Rusical".

McHale was the host at the 2014 White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner.[12] He hosted the 2011 Independent Spirit Awards and the 2015 ESPY Awards. In 2016, he appeared as an occasional co-host alongside Kelly Ripa in the ABC morning show Live with Kelly.

In January 2018, it was announced that he would be receiving his own talk show on Netflix in February. The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale combined celebrity guests, pre-taped sketches and video clips in a half-hour series that focused on pop culture and news from around the world.[15] On August 17, 2018, it was announced that Netflix had canceled the show after 19 episodes, reportedly due to low viewership.[16]

On April 8, 2019, TVLine reported that McHale would host a revival of the game show Card Sharks for ABC.[17] The revival would premiere on June 12 of that year,[18] running for two seasons and 21 episodes until July 7, 2021. The iteration was canceled in April 2022.[19]

Beginning March 27, 2020, McHale co-hosts The Darkest Timeline podcast with former Community co-star Ken Jeong; the podcast was created in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[20] Also in 2020, he hosted an after-show special of the Netflix documentary series Tiger King. With Jeong, they became the new hosts of Fox's New Year's Eve special New Year's Eve Toast & Roast.[21] The second edition was canceled due to the quickly rising cases of Omicron variant in the COVID-19 pandemic.[22]

In 2021, McHale began hosting Crime Scene Kitchen, also on Fox.[23] In 2023, McHale hosted the E! reality competition series House of Villains.[24]
