\n Funnyman Joel McHale takes a dramatic turn as a scientist in a new episode of \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d on CBS All Access.<\/p>\n

In the Season 2 episode, \u201c8,\u201d \u2014 co-starring Nadia Hilker (\u201cThe 100\u201d) and Brandon Jay McLaren (\u201cUnREAL\u201d), McHale plays Dr. Orson Rudd, leading a team of explorers who discover a new species of highly intelligent octopus-like creatures.<\/p>\n

And, in typical \u201cTwilight Zone\u201d fashion, the mission does not go as planned.<\/p>\n

\u201c[A large] number of people on the set said, \u2018I won\u2019t eat octopus ever again,\u2019\u201d says McHale, 48. \u201cI wanted the episode to be a whole series<\/a>! I did research a bunch of stuff about octopuses \u2014 they\u2019re probably the smartest animal in the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

His app<\/a>earance on \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d adds to McHale\u2019s growing list of credits outside of the comic arena. While he\u2019s best-known for playing Jeff Winger on NBC sitcom \u201cCommunity\u201d (2009-2015)\u00a0 \u2014 and for hosting \u201cThe Soup\u201d (2004-2015) \u2014 he\u2019s also guest-starred on the FX biker drama \u201cSons of Anarchy\u201d and on The CW\u2019s \u201cStargirl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just kind of call them like I see them,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen I get [a role], if something comes up that\u2019s really cool or just kind of appeals to me, I\u2019ll go after it. I know that my access point into the business was comedy \u2014 thank God that somebody allowed me to do it! But I\u2019ve done a ton of serious plays, and a bunch of [serious] guest stars here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reserves his highest praise for Jordan Peele, who used Rod Serling\u2019s classic CBS \u201cTwilight Zone\u201d series as a road map for his CBS All Access reboot. (Peele introduces each episode a la Serling.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just so cool that I get to be a part of this incredible franchise,\u201d McHale says. \u201cI jumped at the chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he was born long after the original series went off the air, McHale says he grew up watching reruns. \u201cMuch like the original \u2018Star Trek,\u2019 it\u2019s one of the greatest TV shows ever made,\u201d he says. \u201cRod Serling changed television forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, speaking of change, he says his role on \u201cCommunity\u201d is what he\u2019s most recognized for, now that it\u2019s streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really shows you how ubiquitous Netflix is, the number of people who are like \u2018Hey I just discovered that show!,\u2019 \u201d he says. \u201cI knew when we were making it that it was good. That sounds arrogant, but between the script and the cast \u2014 I knew at the time I was in something good.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cThe Twilight Zone,\u201d McHale is also co-hosting a podcast with Ken Jeong called \u201cThe Darkest Timeline\u201d and he\u2019s still set to host the ABC game<\/a> show \u201cCard Sharks,\u201d though they\u2019re still working out the logistics in light of the pandemic shutdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I have the heart of a hummingbird, so I can\u2019t sit down for long,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m always in motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I start relaxing, that\u2019s when I panic.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
