As reported by Deadline, Joel McHale has just signed on to be a guest star on Fox’s X-Files revival, dashing the hopes of anyone who expected it to be nothing but Mulder, Scully, Skinner, and the Cigarette-Smoking Man hanging out and talking about aliens without any guest star-related interruptions. McHale—who, of course, plays (played?) Jeff Winger on Community—will be “the anchor of a popular conservative internet news network who becomes an unlikely ally for Fox Mulder.” That makes it sound like he’ll be a kind of Glenn Beck-style character with the abs of Jeff Winger, which is already scarier than a lot of the monsters that showed up in The X-Files’ original run.
