Summary
Joel McHale joins Bobby to talk about whether the long-awaited Community movie is actually happening, his funniest celebrity friend, and the unusual path that took him to TV. Plus, Bobby and Eddie get into a ranking of TV stars as they debate who belongs at the top, who is the most likeable, and which names are impossible to leave off the list. It’s a fun mix of behind-the-scenes stories, TV talk, and the kind of arguments that only get stronger once the rankings start. Joel also shares some of the stories and moments that have made his career such an unexpected one. And as the TV star debate heats up, Bobby and Eddie try to make their case for who really deserves a spot near the top.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:11.0 | Hey, welcome to the Bobbycast. |
| 0:13.6 | Now, we do have Joel McKale coming up. |
| 0:16.1 | Love Joel McHale. |
| 0:17.0 | I think Joel McHale is one of the friendliest seeming guys in television or movies. And so I have Eddie here. And I just gave him the challenge of who do you think are the nicest guys? We don't know them. Yeah, that's tough. We can't know them. It's tough. Because we know a couple, but we can't pick anybody we know. Like even if we've spent time with them but really don't know them. |
| 0:37.8 | Like they've been around. |
| 0:38.8 | I kind of know their personality, but we don't know them personally. I think it has to be just people that we see on screen and that we feel are super awesome just from the characters they play or the interviews they do. Got it. If we're betting money on them being awesome people, that's who we bet on. Okay. So I'm going to remove, and this came up because of that, because I love Joel McHale, didn't know him. |
| 0:57.2 | And that interview with we'd bet on. Okay. So I'm going to remove, and this came up because of that, because I love Joel McHale, didn't know him. And that interview with him's coming up. He's freaking awesome. He's awesome. That's cool. Another one that I'm going to eliminate is Michael Strahan, because I think I would have picked him because he seemed so fun. I have been on GMA a couple times, have interviewed him on this. I would have put him on, but I have a 1% relationship with him, but I'm taking him off, but he would have been there. He seems like a really nice guy. I love Michael Shrehan. Can't get enough. Yeah. Okay, so we'll go back and forth. I'll let you go first since you're the guest. |
| 1:27.7 | Okay. |
| 1:28.0 | All right. |
| 1:28.6 | My first one that since Saturday Night Live, I've loved Jimmy Fallon. |
| 1:33.4 | I feel like he is just genuine. |
| 1:36.2 | He is who you get who he is just by seeing everything he does on TV. |
| 1:41.2 | He's so funny. |
| 1:42.6 | And the fact that he can make fun of himself and how much he |
| 1:45.3 | laughs at himself, I think it'd be just great to hang out with him. Do stories we read about them |
| 1:51.9 | factor in? Yes. Okay. Yeah. I agree with you. I know that there's been a few things. No, nothing, |
| 1:57.9 | nothing bad. Nothing cancelable. Right, right, right, right. But personality |
| 2:00.9 | traits. To me, what's crazy about Jimmy Fallon is how great of a singer he also is. Yeah. |
| 2:06.8 | Because you don't know him as a singer, but then when he actually does try to sing, not just on a show, |
| 2:11.3 | but he'll go and sing with people at concerts, he's awesome. Even when he does like Mick Jagger, |
