For those who may be unaware, The Soup was basically the best thing that E! Television ever made - EVER - and the idea of Joel McHale going back to that kind of buzz is frankly exciting.
The new show, titled The Joel McHale Show Starring Joel McHale, will see the veteran comedian take "a sharp, absurdist look at pop culture and news from across the globe," and will probably feature lots of green-screen if this opening video is anything to go by.
Take a look.
