The Soup Show Summary

With this satirical series, the E! Entertainment Network returns to a format they helped create with the popular '90s show Talk Soup.

Only this time instead of just poking fun at talk shows, they're setting their sights on all things in entertainment, reality TV, pop culture, and politics.

This Emmy-winning show, hosted by comedian Joel McHale, serves up a wickedly funny, fast-paced smörgåsbord of the most titillating - and at times tasteless - segments on talk TV.
