In season 9 episode 433 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen welcomes actor and comedian Joel McHale to the show. McHale is known for his roles in TV shows like Community and The Soup, as well as his stand-up comedy.

Ellen and Joel kick off the episode by discussing how they met, which was during a taping of The Soup. Ellen had been a guest on the show and had to eat some less-than-appetizing food for a bit. Joel says that he remembers Ellen being a real trooper during the segment.

From there, the conversation turns to Joel's recent appearance on another talk show, where he was discussing how he and his wife recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. Ellen congratulates Joel on the milestone and asks him if he has any advice for other couples looking to make it that far. Joel jokes that he doesn't really have any advice, but says that it's important to have a good sense of humor and not take things too seriously.

Ellen also asks Joel about his new show, The Great Indoors, which premiered recently on CBS. Joel plays Jack, a rugged outdoorsman who is forced to take a job at an online magazine that caters to millennials. Joel says that he loves working on the show and that it's been a lot of fun playing a character who is so different from himself. He also talks about some of the challenges of working on a sitcom, like having to do multiple takes of the same scene.

Later in the episode, Ellen surprises Joel with a game of "Heads Up" that she's modified to be all about him. The game involves Ellen holding up a card with a clue on it, and Joel has to guess what the clue is referring to. The clues are all related to Joel's life and career, and he does a pretty good job of guessing them all.

Following the game, Ellen announces that she has a surprise for Joel. She brings out several of Joel's family members, who are sitting in the audience. Joel is clearly touched by the surprise and says that he hasn't seen some of the family members in years.

For the rest of the episode, Joel sticks around to help Ellen with various segments. In one segment, they try to guess what people are saying while wearing noise-cancelling headphones. In another, Joel shows off his dance moves while Ellen tries to guess what kind of dance he's doing.

Overall, season 9 episode 433 of The Ellen DeGeneres Show is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases Joel McHale's humorous personality. Fans of Joel McHale and The Ellen DeGeneres Show are sure to enjoy this episode.
