Joel McHale revealed that he has had four hair transplants. On the We Might Be Drunk podcast, he admitted "Yeah, I'm fully bald" and had his first transplant via the strip method which he doesn't recommend due to the pain. Instead, "Do plucking. Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it's a miracle." He also advised to be careful of international doctors who offer cheap prices because, "You get what you pay for." The actor has paid roughly $10,000 for his from Los Angeles based specialists.
