The Soup Is Going Cold!!!
Yes its true, one of the funniest clip shows that started several careers has officially been CANCELLED and now The Soup Is Going Cold.
CelebNMusic247.com has just got word via Variety, that E!, who has decided to end “The Soup,” the pop culture comedy series hosted by Joel McHale for 12 years is no longer hot.
The pop culture comedy and E! staple for more than two decades will NOT be serving anymore soup to fans after its final episode will air on Dec. 18, serving as the series finale.
Jeff Olde, exec vice president of programming and development for E! said:
“We are incredibly proud of the long-running success of ‘The Soup.”
“‘The Soup’ has delivered countless laughs and unforgettable episodes, and we are grateful to the talented team’s fearless wit and clever approach week after week. Joel took the show to new heights for more than a decade, and his irreverent humor and unique brand of comedy as captured so perfectly on ‘The Soup’ will be missed.”
McHale adds:
“I loved doing ‘The Soup’ for all of these years — 86 to be exact — but am excited to solely focus on my acting career now.”
“Thanks to all who watched, and thanks to Kim Kardashian’s ass for all that it’s done for me and my family.”
Leading up to the Dec. 18 finale, new episodes will continue to air Friday nights, featuring McHale looking back on the series’ most memorable moments from the past 22 years.
The sarcastic comedy show “The Soup”, which first debuted as “Talk Soup” kicked off the careers of Greg Kinnear, who hosted from 1991-1995, John Henson, Hal Sparks and Aisha Tyler. In 2004, the show was re-launched as “The Soup” with a star-made host in McHale.
“The Soup” hails from Wilshire Studios with McHale serving as an exec producer, along with KP Anderson and Ed Boyd.
The final episode of “The Soup” airs Dec. 18 at 10:00 p.m.
