No, it’s Joel McHale, and it’s still a felony! If none of this makes any sense to you, then congratulations for having higher standards and not wasting a moment of your time on the crap comprising pop culture. For the rest of us, we have The Soup on E! to help us wallow in it.
Last weekend, D and I caught Joel performing downtown. McHale’s been filming The Soup for over four years, but launched into a live standup tour last year. As you might expect, even without the clips and teleprompter, he is one funny dude. Along with his animated stage presence, his tales of Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark, Tyra Banks, and his son Eddie (the genius/retard) were a hoot. From what I’ve read, preSoup Joel got his start in an improv group. It showed. While his set material was good, some of his best moments were improved remarks about audience members in the front row. The constant cracks directed at the ‘pirate woman’ were great. He said the only logical reason to be dressed like that was if she just got off work from a cheesy seafood restaurant. “Arr, would ye like to hear the specials?” I’m sure glad we were in the second row instead of the first!

I have no clue who that is. I am a pop culture zero.
