‘The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale’
Hoping to capitalize on the popularity of Joel McHale’s show “The Soup”, which ran for 12 seasons, Netflix launched “The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale”. It had all the elements that made “The Soup” so popular, with McHale exploring pop and internet culture with humor and sarcasm. The show wasn’t Netflix’s only chat-style show to got canceled. Michelle Wolf’s “The Break” and Chelsea Handler’s “Chelsea” also suffered a similar fate, prompting some to speculate that audiences simply weren’t looking to Netflix for chat-style shows.
