The People’s Choice Awards and CBS announced today that comedian
and star of CBS’ “The Great Indoors,” Joel McHale, will host

live broadcast from Microsoft Theater L.A. Live, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017 (9:00-11:00 PM, live
ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network.
“The people have spoken, and they want Jimmy Kimmel to host the
2017 Oscars! And the people have also spoken, and said that it
would be okay if I hosted the 2017 People's Choice Awards. Well,
one person said that. Luckily, that person was Les Moonves, so no
one questioned it,” said Joel McHale.
“Joel is a brilliant comedic talent, and the perfect host for
this show," said executive producer Mark Burnett. "He is a triple
threat. An actor, a writer and a performer, and we look forward to
him bringing all those amazing talents to the 2017 People’s Choice
Awards.”
McHale is well known to television audiences for his starring
role in the comedy series “Community,” which aired for six seasons.
Also, McHale was the popular host of the series, “The Soup,” which
satirized pop culture and current events for 12 seasons. He
recently appeared in the revival of the cult sci-fi television
series, “The X-Files.” He has amassed a number of feature film
credits, including “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas,” opposite Robin
Williams, the supernatural thriller “Deliver Us from Evil,” the
romantic comedy “Blended,” alongside Adam Sandler and Drew
Barrymore, “Ted,” “What’s Your Number?,” “The Big Year,” “Spy Kids:
All the Time in the World in 4D” and “The Informant.” A successful
stand-up comedian, McHale continues to perform his act around the
country to sold-out audiences as well as lend his comedic voice to
a number of events. In 2014, McHale hosted the annual White House
Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C. and the 2015
ESPY Awards. In October, Joel McHale published his part memoir,
part how-to guide, “Thanks for the Money: How to Use My Life Story
to Become the Best Joel McHale You Can Be.”
