10 Spots You Can Probably Run Into Actor Joel McHale in WA

Washington state native, Joel McHale has a new TV show on Fox TV that just debuted this week. It's set in Seattle (filmed in Canada though) and the name of the show is Animal Control. Whether or not Animal Control becomes a hit show remains to be seen but one thing I know is that Joel McHale is still “kind of a big deal” in Hollywood.

Seattle Met magazine just wrote a really great article about Joel McHale and they spilled the beans on some places we can probably run into him in Washington. I am definitely not a stalker, but I would "fan girl" if I ever bumped into Joel McHale in one of these places!

IYKYN (If You Know, You Know)

Actor Joel McHale is originally from Washington state. He was raised in Mercer Island and is a famous alumni of the University of Washington. He became very popular when his TV show, The Soup, used to air on the E! Channel. I thought he was strangely hot so I would always watch The Soup whenever I could during the early 2000s. He has this funny yet biting sense of humor that I find incredibly appealing.
