Over the years, The Soup has been hosted by Aisha Tyler and Hal Sparks, before McHale took over.

Yahoo spent roughly $35M on Community Season 6 — compared to NBC spending about $13M on Season 5

The Wall Street Journal explains the differences in costs, reporting that Yahoo, “according to people familiar with the matter,” spent “roughly $2.7 million per episode for the show’s 13-episode sixth season. NBC had paid Sony only about $1 million per episode to air the previous (13-episode) season, the people said. Why the big price difference? Yahoo’s rate covered the full production costs of the show. Plus, Yahoo agreed to pay Sony a guarantee for syndication fees, the people said.”
