The Soup host Jade Catta-Preta says revamped show is less snarky and 'bro-y'
which premieres this Wednesday. While she was a fan of the series and its previous formats like the Brazil-born standup comic told EW she felt the show’s voice was often “bro-y” and looked down on entertainment. As a woman from an immigrant background who genuinely adores pop culture, she told EW she wants her various perspectives to shine through. So take McHale’sand TikTok references, and you’ll have Catta-Preta’s new recipe.
Yeah, I think that for a long time, it was like a little bit bro-y, you know, which was [Joel’s] style and I loved and I think that people really, really loved. But I think it’s just a different time and different people want to relate to the show. For a long time, before I did stand up, I would go to these comedy shows, and every joke was putting down women and I would heckle. And so I just hope to bring in people that never felt like they had had a voice.
Our writers, this whole time, we’ve just been trying to figure it out. And so there’s so much more to cover now. And people are such fans of reality shows now in a way that they weren’t before. And so I think we just want to do it justice and if it’s funny, and it makes us laugh, it’s on the show. I’m fully in the process, from picking the showrunner, I’m in the writers’ room every day. I really want it to feel like it’s my point of view. I’ve been doing stand up — it’s gonna be my 12-year anniversary in a couple weeks, and I want it to feel like it’s something I would say on my own regard like in a stand-up show. I want it to feel like it’s just a friend that you’re having fun with laughing at stuff.I feel like it can’t be more of a fitting job.
