About
Quick guide
Weekly satire that riffs on pop‑culture clips and current events.
The Soup premiered on July 1, 2004, on the E! Entertainment Network and ran until December 18, 2015, with a brief 2020 revival. The show is a spin‑off of 1990s Talk Soup, offering a quick‑fire, live‑audience format where host Joel McHale (and later Jade Catta‑Preta) delivers snappy commentary over a curated selection of clips from talk shows, reality TV, news, and viral internet footage. Each episode is split into recurring segments that parody the source material while highlighting the absurdity of mainstream media. The program blends sharp humor, playful mockery, and a touch of political commentary in a light‑hearted, fast‑paced style.

Format Overview
Each 22‑minute episode follows a predictable structure: Joel McHale opens with a quick joke, then moves through a series of themed segments, each featuring a clip from the past week. The audience laughs along, and the host adds commentary that is both sarcastic and insightful. The show relies on a blend of scripted gags and spontaneous reactions to keep the energy high.
Recurring Segments
Key recurring segments include Chat Stew—talk‑show clips; Chicks, Man—celebrity gossip; Reality Show Clip Time!—reality TV moments; and Clip of the Week—a highlight deemed the best or most absurd clip. These segments give the show structure and allow for a wide range of topics.
Signature Characters
The show features recurring on‑screen personalities, such as Mankini, a man in a bikini top; Spaghetti Cat, a cat that appears in various segments; and a cast of interns who sometimes become targets of jokes. These characters add a layer of running gags that viewers anticipate.
Live Episodes
In 2014, The Soup began airing live episodes, which added immediacy to the jokes and allowed real‑time audience interaction. Live shows were sometimes canceled due to external events, but the format was well received by fans of quick, real‑time humor.
Revival and Legacy
After its 2015 cancellation, The Soup returned in 2020 with host Jade Catta‑Preta. The revival ran for a short period before ending again. Despite its brief run, the show left a lasting influence on pop‑culture satire and inspired several spin‑offs.
Cultural Impact
The Soup became a go‑to source for comedians and media commentators to reference viral moments. Its quick‑cut humor and clip‑based format set a standard for online content that relies on short, punchy segments.
