As the charming host of television's The Soup, Joel McHale is able to inflate his own ego by demeaning others.  Though it should be noted that he only targets those who truly deserve it-and, in some cases, their children.

Aside from The Soup, you may have seen Joel sleepwalking his way through such TV staples as C.S.I.: Miami, Will & Grace, and Pushing Daisies, as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Countdown with Keith Olbermann and, on radio, The Adam Carolla Show. Additionally, very attentive viewers /stalkers mayhave noticed him in the film Spider-Man 2. Next up, catch Joel starring opposite Matt Damon and Scott Bakula in the Steven Soderbergh-directed film The Informant. He also entertains fans around the country with his stand-up comedy.

Although not raised in a church-going family, gospel leader Kurt Carr took it upon himself to start attending services at age 13 and soon became active in his church's musical programs. Finding inspiration in albums by gospel greats Walter Hawkins, James Cleveland, and Andrae Crouch, Carr attended the University of Connecticut in his hometown of Hartford, graduating with a degree in fine arts and a new found appreciation of classical music. He was mentored by the classically trained gospel legend Richard Smallwood, who broadened the young student's horizons to include elements of different musical styles in his compositions and whom Carr still refers to as his "godfather." In 1986, Carr joined with Reverend James Cleveland and his ensemble, acting as pianist and musical director until the reverend's death in 1991.

Best known for her superb 1984 cover of Prince's "I Feel for You," R&B singer Chaka Khan enjoyed solo success as well as popularity as a member of the group Rufus. Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Great Lakes, IL, on March 23, 1953, she was raised on Chicago's South Side, and at the age of 11 formed her first group, the Crystalettes. While still in high school, she joined the Afro-Arts Theater, a group which toured with Motown great Mary Wells; a few years later, she adopted the African name Chaka Khan while working on the Black Panthers' breakfast program. After quitting high school in 1969, Khan joined the group Lyfe, soon exiting to join another dance band, the Babysitters; neither was on the fast track to success, but her fortunes changed when she teamed with ex-American Breed member Kevin Murphy and André Fisher to form Rufus.
