Joel McHale

Known for his sharp wit on “The Soup” and “Community,” Joel McHale has a surprising athletic past. He walked onto the University of Washington football team in 1992, having only played one year in high school. Joel’s brief football career was less about game time and more about enduring grueling practices.

Despite not making it to game day, he found his calling in the locker room, performing skits that showcased his comedic talent. Now a successful actor and comedian, Joel often reflects on his football days with humor, cherishing his time with the Huskies as a stepping stone to stardom.
