All Hail McHale

The Soup host and Community star Joel McHale has joined the comedy "What's Your Number" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on Karyn Bosnak's book "20 Times a Lady the story follows a woman (Anna Faris) who thought she'd find her perfect guy by the time she'd slept with a maximum of twenty men.

Waking up after a drunken night in her boss's bed, she realises she's reached that limit but hasn't achieved it. Rather than increasing the number or staying celibate, she tracks down all her ex-partners in an attempt to make things work with one of them.

Joel will play Faris' "mildly charming" boss, who inadvertently sets off her quest through her sexual past for the perfect man. »

The cast includes Andy Samberg Zachary Quinto possibly Chris Evan as her womanizing next door neighbor, Matt Bomer as her dream guy, and Ari Graynor as her soon to be wed sister.

Mark Mylod (HBO's Entourage) directs from a script by Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan

Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are producing the comedy.

Shooting kicks off later this month.

This has been a busy time for McHale who also landed a role in David Frankel's upcoming comedy "The Big Year".
