Joel McHale

“E! didn't like it when we'd make fun of clips from ESPN - they'd be like, 'That's sports! That's not our audience!'”

“It's an awesome thing to be flung out onto the stage twice a weekend in front of 250 people, and you have to make it up as you go along.”

“Follow what your head is telling you and work hard. That's the big secret.”

“Once you've been booked, people in Hollywood say, 'Oh he must be good.' All the while you're the same actor.”

“Netflix is just wonderful.”

“I operate off of fear almost exclusively.”

“You have to have talent. You have to get the audition and then you have to nail the audition.”

“'Maury' and 'Jerry Springer' get so theatrical that it's hard to believe.”

“'Big Brother,' I can't believe people watch. It's just people whispering to each other for hours and then some silly challenge like, who can pull the most stones out of a stuffed alligator, with some product tie-in.”

“Acting is what I'd always wanted to do; hosting 'The Soup' was more because of Greg Kinnear.”

“When you are an actor or trying to be a working actor in L.A., most people have commercial agents, and then they have legitimate agents, and you just end up going on a thousand auditions.”

“My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.”

“I don't feel any pressure to joke about #MeToo - in fact, I'd say you shouldn't, because it's a great movement that is exposing some really awful behavior and hopefully changing the culture.”

“If you have a dream, just lie about it. Lie your way unto your dreams.”

“Joel McHale is so money, he should be printed on money.”

“I always excelled in sports, so I knew I had advantages there. That really gave me, like, confidence and self-esteem.”

“I couldn't read the way that other students read, so I would just cheat, which, in my silly brain, I was like, 'This is a skill that I'm developing - how to just get around everything!'”

“On 'The Soup,' we were never a political show.”

“The editors and the creators of 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette,' they are so good at casting and at finding these young, beautiful lunatics to go on the show.”

“I like anything with Zak Bagans and ghost hunters.”
