Joel McHale tweets goodbye to his 'Soup'

You've probably already heard the semi-devastating news. E! has gone and canceled Joel McHale's pop culture bedrock, The Soup, following his 12-year run as host. And the end is coming soon: Dec. 18.

Could it all be a ruse?

OK, so it's real. This is the end. McHale tweeted his short goodbye in two parts.

Just in case you thought he was leaving without one last dig at the Kardashians.
