The first minute or so was a little rough, but then he hit his stride and it's like he never left The Soup.

The soup was great and should’ve never ended. When I logged in last night for my bedtime office binge this was quite the pleasant surprise. Hopefully they pick it up after the 1st 13 episodes because I need more hollywood bashing in my life.

Deffinitly took a minute to find its pace but it was good shite once it did. I used to enjoy the soup but hardly ever caught it. This format should do well for it

Read recently where E! made him stop doing Kardashian jokes. First he was told to do less then flat out told to stop.

It started bad, then Joel launched into a few minutes of what felt like Abed's Nicolas Cage impression, and then I was outie. Staggeringly awful.

I thought the whole episode was very good. The series could be great. Joel has been missed and it’s good to have him back doing what he’s best at.

McHale did a solid Chevy Chase in that movie about the National Lampoon head...

"A futile and stupid gesture"

Would kill it as Fletch, but Joel is getting older

Loved seeing him back in stride. I hope he was able to cherry-pick the staffers he really liked from E! and bring them on board.

There are so many times during some of the Bachelor seasons since The Soup went away that my wife and I would look at each other and say "Dear God, why isn't the Soup still on for this???"

I was shocked he didn't find a way to shoehorn his dog Lou into the show already.

The various Netflix star cameos were a nice touch, as was the Netflix sounder every time they said the name. If true about the Kardashians, I hope he goes after them with both barrels, now. Joel's promo appearance for the show on Kathy Lee & Hoda's Today show segment last week was pretty hysterical, given the inordinate amount of shite he's given them over the years. It's like they have Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to him.

I got into one laughing fit where I had to press pause. This is all I ask of a show. Do this once, and I will continue to watch. I might still watch otherwise, but if you do this, it's a guarantee.

Bumping a post from a month ago instead of starting a new one? That's a solid veteran move there. Thanks I had forgot about the show Ill give it a watch.
