Get ready to laugh your economically depressed face off, because D+T Issue 19, in stores April 21, is the Comedy Issue! Danny McBride graces our cover, and the side-splitting comedian portfolio inside promises rip-snorting good times. Sure, stocks may be falling, but your mood will be rising.

Witty host of The Soup, Joel McHale, is featured in the portfolio alongside fellow comedians such as The Office's Craig Robinson (yep, it's Darryl), Upright Citizens Brigade's Greg Johnson, Jen Kirkman, and Kumail Nanjiani, Parks and Recreations' Aziz Ansari, and stand-up laugh riot Zach Galifianakis.

Get a sneak peek at D+T's comedic geniuses with the exclusive extended online interview with Joel McHale after the jump. Seriously, click the link--you don't want to miss McHale talking about his bro tattoo with Tyra Banks.

So how did you get in character to play Anderson Cooper on Robot Chicken?

How did I get into character to play Anderson... Well, I just imagined my mom was Gloria Vanderbilt, and then I poured some salt and pepper in what hair I have left, and that was about it!

Is Lou really your dog, or the show's?

Lou is a prop who we assemble before every show, and he's getting a little beat up so we're going to have to buy another one.

Hmm. Interesting.

Yup. Weird.

So, what's it like to be a judge on Iron Chef America?

It is awesome! I recommend it a hundred times, because you get to get free food, and some of the best cooks in the world are cooking for you, and to their faces on camera you can tell them, "Ehh, it’s OK."

After Rock of Love Ladies, a kind of standard TV fare in 2009, what's your prediction for the state of TV in, say, ten years from now?

My guess is Bret Michaels will be hosting Live Execution.

Ohh, god.

That's gonna be the way it goes.

If you could get a bro tattoo with Tyra Banks, what would it be, and where?

Ohh, boy. It would probably be a tattoo on my arm that says "Enormous Mistake." That's how I feel about most tattoos.

OK, same question, but with Ryan Seacrest. Would it be the same thing?

Oh, well we already have those--we already have lockets. You know, half of a heart. We each have one half of it. If we had to get tattoos, ooh--my guess is matching barbed wire wrapped around our biceps 'cause we both are just jacked.

OK, last question: Can you tell us something funny or uplifting to cure us of our recession depression?

Uhh... You're great, no matter what anybody says! And hey, just know that we still have it better than almost any other civilization in the history of the earth. We should feel good about that. And you're not out scrubbing garbage or being shot at while you're trying to vote, so, hey, there's that!

But for me, the most depressing thing about this year isn't the economy, and not the state of war and the world--it's really the ending of Battlestar Gallactica.
