- Joel McHale: (on being a member of the cast of Community) I love my job, I love the cast, and I love the crew, it's ideal. So something's going to go horribly wrong.

- Joel: I've always made fun of television shows and how ridiculous some celebrity behavior is, but I never thought my job would be commenting on it. There's a side of me that's happy I get to say these things out loud. But other times I feel like a whore.
