Joel McHale is headed to “The X-Files” revival on Fox.
The “Community” star will play Tad O’Malley, the anchor of a popular conservative internet news network, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Joel’s character will become an unlikely ally to David Duchovny’s Fox Mulder.

Joking about his role on Twitter on Wednesday, Joel wrote, “I’ll be playing the part of Mathesar.” (Mathesar was a character on “Galaxy Quest.”)
“The X-Files,” starring David as Mulder, and Gillian Anderson as Scully, will premiere on Fox on Sunday, January 24 at 10 PM ET/PT.
