 The Soup is a weekly round-up the best/worst in reality TV, soap operas, talk shows, and whatever sort insanity that is broadcast weekly. It features all sorts of great segments, inside jokes, inside not-jokes, and dreamy host Joel McHale. Prior to Joel... wikipedia posted:Hosts included Greg Kinnear (1991–1995, the final year concurrent with his hosting stint on NBC's now-defunct late night series Later), John Henson (1995–1999), Hal Sparks (1999–2000) and Aisha Tyler (2001–2002). Various celebrities filled in as guest hosts from 2000 to fall 2001, with Donna D'Errico standing-in regularly for summer 2001. Guest hosts included Ryan Seacrest, Roger Lodge, Janeane Garofalo, Jenna Jameson, Jason Lester, John Henstein, Scott Lasky, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Teri Garr, and Survivor contestant Susan Hawk. Never refer to it as "Talk Soup". The Soup occupies these corners of the web: (Thanks to notthegoatseguy) We'll see you next week!

I can't believe we don't already have a thread for the closest thing to an SA tv show (except the host is way too good looking). What the hell happened to Jon Henson anyway?

I also watch it every week, but it's mainly because of the lady. Joel McHale is pretty funny, but some of the jokes are extremely long-winded and overblown. I can't argue with the quality clips, though.

One of my favorite clips which they played for the longest time since it originally aired: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soxncOUs8cI For the heck of it, here's an almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds version of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caYOs5qmQyI

I like how relaxed it is. If Joel breaks a joke because he's laughing so hard, he just gives the signal to fastforward the prompter and they keep going. The crew playing a different song everytime for the "My Stories" intro bit always gets him and makes me laugh.

I came across it by accident and i had just started watching Community so stuck around and now I am hooked, but i have missed so many eps which i will never get the chance to see. I think i probably miss a lot of the jokes because I am in Australia but the way he gives so much poo poo to Ryan Seacrest is brilliant, and i don't even really know who he is. And all the in jokes are great, most of these shows they rip on are not even shown here and I am usually stunned by the sheer amount of ridiculous reality shows on (I Love Toy Trains) What bothers me is that so many things are edited, like i figure he gets out a gun and shoots that intern guy, but the gun is blurred out and the sound is edited out also, is it the same in the US?

Australia is usually much more relaxed when it comes to what we show on TV compared to the U.S. Shows with heaps of violence and language that are only shown on Cable in the US (like HBO) are shown on our free-to-air channels so i dont know why this is censored in particular, seems really strange to me.

The Soup is one of the few reasons to turn on the TV. I can't help but find it ironic that the show is on E, and yet it lampoons basically everything that E produces or represents. Stains was a classic moment. I must of watched that clip dozens of times. I love all the Seagal riffs... I just wish that he would come on the show; although apparently Seagal is too good for the Soup. Which is odd, considering the shlock that he puts out on a yearly basis.

He decided he was too funny for the show I guess, and after a couple failed shows of his own on Spike TV and TV Guide Channel of all places, he found out that he was very, very wrong.

It's not just Australia that has censorship, I get it here in the UK as well. It's pretty much the same thing, they blur out the Gun and a couple of other things (The logo on the Steven Segal can is blurred over for example - but you can't fool me, I'd recognize that can anywhere).

The only thing that bugs me about The Soup is that Joel puts the emphasis on the wrong word in "My Stories." It's supposed to be "My Stories," like "LEAVE ME ALONE WHEN I'M WATCHIN' MY STORIES" but he says "My Stories" which makes no sense at all. Gettin mad as hell about word emphasis itt

I like Wipeout, because I like watching annoying people hurt themselves, but the straight guy is funnier than him. His entire gimmick for the show I guess is that he has an IQ of 70, I don't know if it's sadder that he took such a demeaning job, or that it's the only job he could get.

I never watched the show when Hal Sparks was involved, because if VH1's clip montage show countdowns are any indication, he most likely wasn't very funny on The Soup, either. Sorry man, I just really do not like him at all.

This is the part where I'm gonna remind everyone here that you can get an 8 episode subscription for the Soup for $6 on iTunes. It's really the best deal ever, because you get them right after they air, basically. It's nice to watch the show without commercials.

Also my name is not Nathaniel and I do not like to dance - but that kid is awesome. I think this is one of the only shows that I 've watched consistently on a weekly basis. I don't have cable/like E! but the show provides me about 95% of what I know about current pop culture and shows like The Bachelor and Jersey Shore. Plus a couple friends and I always go "SWEET POTATO" when the tuber comes up in conversation. That or Oprah's Vajayjay  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu7JeCGALcg
