Joel McHale Explains Why He Has '30 Good Years Left' on The Soup

The host still loves to skewer pop culture, one ridiculous clip at a time

Treetop Cat Rescue (yes, that's a real show), the sad demise of hitchBOT, Lenny Kravitz's penis—all topics covered in just a single episode of E!'s The Soup.

"As you can see, it's a very high-brow show," deadpans Joel McHale, who has hosted the pop culture-skewering series since 2004.

Every week, a team of 14 staffers spends the week with their eyes glued to the tube in search of the most buzzworthy moments. "These poor people have to watch so much television they're going to shoot themselves in the eye," cracks McHale.

As with any topical TV program, having an online presence is a must.
