You’ve been showing Joel McHale, host of The Soup on E!, a lot of love on PopWatch in recent months. He’s the reason many of you chose the network as one of the five cable channels you have to have; he’s on many of your personal "Top 5" lists. Apparently, the feeling is mutual: He’s phoning us Wednesday to answer your questions. Just post ‘em below before noon ET on March 5, and we’ll make sure he hears the best of the best.
If you need inspiration, feel free to ask about the new The Soup Presents specials he’s rolling out, beginning with March 17′s look at TV shows featuring "pretty, stupid models." On March 24, he pays tribute to celebrity news and gossip programs. On March 31, he honors the love and sex on your TV. And on April 7, he takes a good, long look at television’s best "side show" acts (think: tattoo artists, magicians, cops, and anyone on E!).
Has there ever been a time where you cracked on somebody and thought “Okay maybe we went too far”?
How do you get away with making fun of other E! shows? (Please don’t stop!)
The Soup is the only thing I watch on E!, cuz it’s freakin’ hilarious! A lot of that is due to Joel McHale’s puckish delivery…he’s almost apologetic, but you can tell he’s enjoying himself.
Oh, here’s my question: Does Ryan Seacrest pay you to mention him frequently so he gets even more exposure? (He seems to go with the “any publicity is good publicity” approach.)
Joel, can you get me a date with Mankini?
When are you going to let Patrick, of I’m Bringing Blogging Back, be on your show? It’s his DREAM!!! Do you want to squash his dream?
Has there been show that has gone off the air that provided such great Soup fodder that you were actually worried about what you would fill its time with?
Who does Lou belong to? He must be a really good dog to be willing to be dressed in such ridiculous outfits.
Why isn’t he in every show?
How are you taking the news that Passions is cancelled (again)?
Would you do dueling David Carusos with David Caruso?
You come down pretty hard on Tyra, which, believe me, is deserved. Have you ever heard from her? Has she invited you on the show? Or has she asked you to kiss her fat ass?
How are the shows selected to profile? Are there shows that your aren’t legally allowed to profile?
I was also wondering if Lou was actually Joel’s dog? Also, who is in the “audience”? Is it just The Soup interns? If so, can I be an intern?
Are there any TV shows that you constantly make fun of, but actually enjoy watching?
Why do you think your moving performance in “Rainbow Brite: The Movie” was snubbed by the Oscar committee? Too avant garde?
Who is the one person you’d want to make an appearance on The Soup?
