Joel McHale Calls It Quits For His Kids

Joel McHale is a stand-up kind of guy. Well... sort of.

The 39-year-old comedian recently quit his stand-up act in order to spend more time at home with his kids, Eddie, 5, and Isaac, who's almost 3.

"I'd like to see my children grow up," McHale told Emmy in their latest issue. "I kind of missed it last year."

That may be because Joel's been doing double duty as the host of E!'s The Soup and star of the NBC comedy Community. Add that to a grueling stand-up schedule, and there's not much time left for family... or anything else.
