[culwin]

[einbischen]

How is it possible Joel had less hair back in the 90's ?!!

Joel has hair implants!!!

[joelslover93]

i still love him even though his hair looked weird...but he is hot now!

[Hopeful71]

You should have seen him in grad school...he was total grunge.

Barely recognize him now.

[SilverDollarCityGirl]

he is so much cuter now.

[alexnval]

It was based in Seattle because it was a local Seattle show--not to be cool. What you saw on comedy Central "in the days" was repeats of the shows that ran on Saturday nights in Seattle.

[CJthecoolest]

scary

[punkedge1]

HES BOLD NOW!!!!!!!

[sweetnessXOlove]

no he's not. have you even seen the soup?

[silaku]

he's BALDING, but not bald. You can see the hairline going up and that "spot" on top of his head, but still he's damned sexy!!!

[JKismylover]

OMG look at Joel's hair!!! xD haha

[dustindo]

young Joel looks like Christopher Titus.

[silaku]

Oh yeah!!! That's right!!!!!

[mrspotter94]

hahahahaha i love you JOEL

[eriatarka209]

i remember this on comedy cental WAY back in the days. i think the only reason they based it in seatle is because it was early 90s and everything was about seatle, pearl jam, soundgarden, nirvana, sonic youth, screaming trees, mudhoney... it was all about seatle in '91. this had a great sketch called "rock star fantasy camp"

[TokioHotelLover111]

haha i laughed when i first saw his hair xD haha but is he from seattle?

[ock3bffs]

yep he was born somewhere else though

[KirstenAnn99]

I love him

[SocialOutcasts2]

haha i love his hair!

[dengirl28]

OMG I love Almost Live.....thanks for posting this!!!!

[mitchio83]

Its wierd, it seems like everybody in seattle in the 80's had that same hair.

[SuperSora64]

except for the first guy i think everyone back then and maybe now have a mullet

[DarkwingsDesending]

WOW! I just looked up to see if he was really born there. He's not. He's was born in Rome,Italy! You guys might have known that, but I didn't.

[mukimpokun]

omg tha hair....wtf!? heheh i still love you joel!!

[mukimpokun]

*that

[heh sorry]

[wakingneddevine]

His hair...AUGH! hahaa

[angelgirl1992]

He's so young in this clip! This does prove that he's always been funny though.

[srambo529]

Almost Live! I had forgotten all about this show! I used to love Bill Nye (pre-science guy) on that show. THanks for posting and where the world did you find it?

[jay2christine]

Oh you should record more almost live skips and put them on you tube. I remember when Joel Mchale was on Almost live. I knew him in college.

[BonanzAA]

which college here in seattle?

[jay2christine]

he went to U of W

[Hopeful71]

Hilarious, my wife knew him when he was getting at MFA at UW (post Almost Live). A number of people that knew him from then find his 'character' on the Soup so ironic compared to the type of guy he actually is/was.

[sailormoonrocks]

well people constantly change.

[torgman]

I know the bald guy from a Comedy Central show eons ago.

[PenaltyKillah]

They're a little like Jay @ Silent Bob! How fitting!

[mag7nyx]

Notice the long hair starts on top and works its way down. Not pretty to be sure, but definitely not a mullet.

[Boobalopbop]

Whatever you guys.. you know that kind of hair was hot in the 90s. He is just sooo cute, and I dont usually go for that type.

[sexychula19]

lol the hair i like him better with shorter hair and when he grows sort a small beard he looks soooo damn sexy

[eyepatchplease]

Hey, Bob Nelson!

[boagieking]

give him a break it was the early 90s prolly, at that time people were wearin neon pink and green and mullets were swtill fashionable so who cares everybody looked funny in the early 90s, and I'm not forgettin the boxcut the black people used to rock lol high top fade lmao

[sushicourier]

Boy, "Bob" really did a lot in that piece.

[triniturtle09]

lol at the hair. :D

[runaway21]

that is crazy. yeah his hair is pretty bad here.

[PowerGlove79]

Almost Live rules!!

[Jay6385]

Damn look at that hair i've never seen this before thanks for putting it up hopefully more clips of him from his early days will be found and uploaded on youtube.

[lobster02]

Wow his hair is so different! Thanks for this clip!

I gotta say Joel's much hotter now...
