About this season
With this satirical series, the E! Entertainment Network returns to a format they helped create with the popular '90s show Talk Soup. Only this time instead of just poking fun at talk shows, they're setting their sights on all things in entertainment, reality TV, pop culture, and politics.

When a man wants to impress the woman he wants to marry, it's only natural that he gleefully mocks her breast size on national TV, right? Apparently it is when that man is bachelor William and he's roasting Bachelorette Ashley Hebert, who took the ribbing like a champ. And then broke down, weeping into her A cups in the wings. Don't worry, Joel McHale will make it all seem funny, plus he's stacked!
