Netflix announced its new weekly series “The Joel McHale Show” coming to the streaming service in February. “The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale” is a new, weekly half-hour topical series that takes a sharp, absurdist look at pop culture and news from across the globe. It’s a fast and funny distillation of everything people are talking about that week.
