Hey Joel

Hey Joel is an American adult animated television series that aired on VH1 in 2003. It is about Joel Stein,[1] the host of a three-minute rock-star interview show on VH1 called "3 minutes with Joel". However, he is anything but respectful to his famous guests, often badgering them with aggressive, pointless, irreverent, and often insulting questions.
