Starting Oct. 2nd on E! at 10:30PM, The Soup hosted by Joel McHale will be followed by a companion show, also hosted by Joel McHale (sorry if some of you thought it was going to be Chris Hardwick) called The Soup Investigates featuring such good comedy folks as Michael Kosta, Sarah Tiana, Eli Olsberg, and more.

So, with this and all growing number of shows that accompany a hit show, the Emmys might have to make another category for Outstanding Variety Companion Show?
