Let’s take some E! for the last time. According to Variety, E! has cancelled their long-running clip comedy show, The Soup.
Hosted by Joel McHale, The Soup began in 2004 and will be ending on December 18th.
A revamp of Talk Soup, the clip series featured a satirical take on the many absurdities of television. Popular targets included Tyra Banks, teen soaps, and the reality series of E! itself.
The series has been running for 22 seasons and McHale signed a two-year extension for The Soup back in 2014. The network hasn’t commented on why the show was cancelled before the deal ended.
What do you think? Do you watch The Soup? How do you feel about it ending? What were some of your favorite moments on the show?
I see I Am not alone, I never watch E! except the soup, I never really liked talk soup but this was a great re-tooling. After the soup is gone I will NEVER return to the brain rot, eye cancer that is E!,this was my only holdout/exception. Farewell joel, I hope something better comes along ( also I hope E! broke the contract and still has to pay you, screw you E! see you never)
This was the best show on E!. Funny, current and a great 1/2 hour of escape. It was the only show that I watched on E!. I really hope that it gets picked up by Netflix or another network. Since I don’t watch or like the Kardashians, I can cancel my cable subscription to E! at the end of the year. May set up a petition on-line.
This is/was literally the ONLY reason I ever watch E!
I have just set up an on-line petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/965/344/293. Please sitn it and pass it on.
I love this show and will really miss it.
I loved the show. It was fun to see the garbage I wouldn’t watch on other channels.
