Joel McHale on Playing College Football, “The Soup,” and Marrying People at the Space Needle

Comedian and television host, Joel McHale, has worn many hats. From his starring role on the NBC television show, Community, to hosting Netflix’s Tiger King postmortem to, this weekend, marrying couples under the historic Seattle Space Needle, McHale is game and more than capable of rising to any occasion. He’s sharp, funny and kind. He’s generous and jovial. And he will bring all of these qualities to the altar at the Chihuly Garden and Glass under the Space Needle on Sunday for Valentine’s Day. We caught up with McHale to ask him about his early childhood in Rome, what it was like to play football at a D-1 school in college, how he came to comedy and much more.
