Joel McHale would be totally bald if not for $10,000 in painful transplants

Actor and comedian Joel McHale revealed that he has had four hair transplants to get his hair back.

"Yeah, I'm fully bald ... This is four transplants. I did it way back when it was a strip," McHale explained, referring to the hair transplant method that involves removing a strip of scalp. "Painful. Don't do a strip." "Do plucking," he emphasized, noting how the procedure has evolved in recent years. "Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it's a miracle." 

McHale then noted that in spite of the viral online trend of heading to Turkey for a hair transplant, he received the procedure in Los Angeles. "I can get you a name of a guy in Turkey," he jokingly quipped, before adding, "But just make sure, because if somebody is like, 'I'll do it for $3,000,' then you don't. You get what you pay for."

The Animal Control star went on to share that he spent $10,000 on the procedures, but noted, "it might have gone up." Here's what he told the podcast host who is also considering the procedure.
