Joel McHale (Tad O'Malley) excited to star in The X-Files: 'I've seen every episode'

Now you're filming a role in the ­X-Files revival. Who do you play on that?
I play a guy named Tad O'Malley and I'm a host on a news show. I contact Scully and Mulder.

You get your own episode?
I get a couple. Believe me, I thought it was a prank when my agents first called.
You were in your early 20s when it was first on. Did you watch it?
I think I have seen every episode. At one point, someone mentioned that I was a fan and David Duchovny was standing there and he said, "Are you a fan?" and I said, "Yes, yes I am, Mr. Duchovny. Please don't be mad. You guys have no idea how big of a fan I was." And they were like, "Ok." They were so cool about it because I was like, "I know you're a huge Soup fan, right dude?" It was still a dream come true.
