McHale the Con Man

Joel McHale sure can make us laugh, as anyone who has ever watched TV’s Community or The Soup on E! can attest.

But now, the hottie with the (surprising) body is gon’ get his drama on.

The actor has booked a multi-ep arc on FX’s Sons of Anarchy’s upcoming fifth season. He will be playing a con man who picks the wrong person to double-cross, so, y’ know, things might not end up so good for the guy.

Making the gig even sweeter? McHale is said to be sharing many a scene with the show’s underappreciated (except by the Golden Globes) Katey Sagal, who tweeted the pic at right (to show off – nah...I keed, I keed).

Good goin’, guy. Here's to hoping they’ll have you all shirtless and s---, too.
