The Soup - 10pm, Friday nights on E!

If you're not a fan of the show The Soup on E!, you should be. Right now. Do it. Seriously.

There are dozens of reality shows on TV with so many ridiculous people on them, that they need to be made fun of. (Sure, ended that sentence with a preposition...sue me.) Joel McHale is just your man. Every Friday night at 10, he presents the stupidest parts of the dumbest shows and cracks wise about them. Sometimes he even targets E! shows or personalities themselves - The Kardashians, Ryan Seacrest, Billy Bush and Mario Lopez are some of them. (Lopez is in tonight's show - Seacrest is mentioned almost every week)

You may watch some of the quality television programs that are frequent targets of McHale's - The Wendy Williams Show, Jon & Kate Plus 8 (not anymore since its off the air), I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant - a show that has been on the air for more than one episode, which itself surprises McHale - For the Love of Ray J, The Tool Academy, The Hills, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, So You Think You Can Dance and that Bret Michaels dating show that was on TV for whatever reason.

When you watch The Soup - Fridays at 10pm on E! in case you forgot from 10 sentences ago - there are all kinds of graphics and a cool set, but all of that is green screen. When shooting, McHale just stands on a mark in front of the small audience of between 10 and 30 (I got bored with counting after 12). Some of his staff appears on the show - sometimes in costume, sometimes with their headsets still on and one of the guys gets fake-shot about every third week. In tonight's show, there is a costumed guy and a producer who appear on camera.

If you get the chance to go to the show and sit in the limited audience, good for you. Its a tough ticket to get - much like the Latin Grammys or a Kardashian wedding.

Its very fun. McHale talks to the audience in between the comedy joke fixing and the stopdowns. Very personable and nice, McHale will also pose for some photos after he shoots - which is a considerable gesture, since he also films the NBC show "Community" daily (which airs on Thursday nights) and, by the time of the Soup shoot, he had been working since 6AM.

Check out the Soup (Friday) and watch Community (Thursday on NBC). Both are very funny and one has Chevy Chase on it. And one doesn't.
