'Fully bald' Joel McHale reveals he underwent FOUR hair transplants
Joel McHale has undergone four $10,0000 hair transplants and admits he is "fully bald".
The 53-year-old actor and comedian - who is best known for hosting The Soup and his role as Jeffrey "Jeff" Winger on the NBC sitcom Community - says the treatments he has had are "a miracle" because he lost all his hair ages ago.
Appearing on the We Might Be Drunk podcast, he confirmed: "Yeah, I'm fully bald. [I've had] four transplants.
"I did it way back when it was a strip. Painful. Don't do a strip. Do plucking. Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it's a miracle.
"You're still going bald, so that hair is still falling out, but the hair that you put there is growing, but you'll still thin, because the hair that was going to fall out is going to fall out."
On the recovery process, he added: "They send you home with Tylenol. If you shave your head, it goes faster."
He's hopeful there is going to be a pill to cure baldness, adding: "They are still trying to unlock the DNA but they thought that would be solved 15 years ago."
Joel recently revealed a Community movie is in the works.
He starred as a suspended lawyer who attends a community college in the NBC sitcom - which originally ran from 2009 until 2014 - and, in April, he revealed the budget had been put in place for a big-screen adaptation.
He told Us Weekly: "We are going to make the movie and we have the money.
"We are funded. That is the hardest thing to get made, or get to get done, and we have got that done. It's come down to scheduling. And so, I think it'll be done by — I think it'll shoot at some point this year. Probably in the autumn. That's my prediction and that's also my hope."
Last year, the Ted star - who appeared alongside the likes of Donald Glover, Alison Brie and Yvette Nicole Brown in the sticom - explained that any delay in the movie's development was down to him and his hectic schedule.
He said: "If it's anybody's fault, it's my schedule on this one. It's not [Donald's] at all. He was available. … We love Donald. You can fully blame my schedule."

Hamilton star Anthony Ramos calls out Madonna for using iPad during Broadway performance
Anthony Ramos says Madonna lit up the whole theatre with her iPad during a performance of Hamilton on Broadway. The 33-year-old actor originated the dual roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the Broadway show and is among a group of Hamilton actors to speak out on Madonna's alleged behavior in the audience. Appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Thursday (19.06.25), Ramos said: 'The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face. She was like this [shining a light] the whole time. 'I was like, 'Damn, shorty. If you're not enjoying it that much, you know the door is right there. You don't have to stay here.'' Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the musical who played Alexander Hamilton, also appeared to call out The Queen of Pop in a since-deleted post on Twitter in April 2015. He penned at the time: 'Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou." However, the Like a Virgin hitmaker's publicist rubbished the claim, telling Us Weekly: "It's not true. She was invited backstage four different times. She texted post show when they were doing their fundraising pitch. Madonna had already made a generous donation.' Jonathan Groff, who starred as King George, also fumed 'that b**** was on her phone.' He said at the time: 'You couldn't miss it from the stage. 'It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show.'
