Joel Edward McHale, known simply as Joel McHale, was born in 1971, in Italy. Joel is a famous comedian, actor, producer, writer and TV personality. Joel is known for his roles in such television shows and movies as “The Soup”, “Spider-Man 2”, “Community”, “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World”, and others. During his career, Joel has been nominated for and has won various awards. For example, EWwy Award, PAAFTJ Television Award, Satellite Award, Primetime Emmy Award and others. In addition to his appearances in movies and on television, McHale has also been a part of several Web series: “12 Angry Bros”, “Video Game High School”, “Water and Power”, “Save Greendale” and “Street Fighter Tape”.
Joel McHale Net Worth $14 Million
So how rich is Joel McHale? It is estimated that Joel’s net worth is $14 million. Of course, the main source of this sum of money is Joel’s acting career, but it’s clear that Joel is a very talented personality who has a lot of activities. During his career, Joel has been able to gain respect and acclaim in the industry. There is also a chance that this sum will grow in the future, as Joel still continues his successful career.
Joel studied history at the University of Washington and later continued his studies at the same university and received a degree in Professional Actors Training Program. Joel began his acting career in 1993, when he became a part of the show called “Almost Live!”. Later McHale acted in such shows as “CSI: Miami”, “Diagnosis: Murder” and “Will & Grace”. All these appearances made Joel McHale’s net worth grow. In 2004 Joel started hosting his own show, called “The Soup”. This show had a huge impact on the growth of Joel McHale’s net worth. In addition to this, Joel has worked on such shows as “Iron Chef America”, “The Adam Carolla Show”, “Last Comic Standing” and others. In 2009 he secured a role in “Community”, in which he works with Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase and others. Other movies and television shows that Joel has appeared in include “Ted’, “Blended”, “Deliver Us from Evil”, “Conan”, “Phineas and Ferb” and others. All these appearances have contributed to the growth of Joel’s net worth.
While talking about Joel McHale’s personal life, Joel is married Sarah Williams in 1996 and they have two children.
All in all, Joel McHale is one of the most talented and successful TV personalities and actors. What is more, he has a great sense of humor and this has added a lot to his success and popularity. There no doubt that Joel will appear in more television shows and movies and will become even more famous, and acclaimed by others in the industry. This would also make Joel’s net worth higher. Let’s hope that McHale’s fans will be able to see him more often and enjoy his appearances and talent. Joel is only 43 years old, so there is still a lot that he can do.

[on The Soup's mascot dog, Lou] I didn't like Chihuahuas very much before I met Lou, I thought they looked like big-eyed rats, but now I'm in love.

I've always made fun of television shows and how ridiculous some celebrity behavior is, but I never thought my job would be commenting on it. There's a side of me that's happy I get to say these things out loud. But other times I feel like a whore.

I won't do porn. Well, I won't do triple-X porn.
