Michael Kosta “Comments” On Joel McHale: “He’s A Terrible Boss”
Michael Kosta gets to wax poetic on all the crazy opinions and remarks that litter our pop culture universe. Whether these readers are insightful or just plain internet trolls, they are front and center in the new E! comedy series The Comment Section.
