Chelsea Lately

I recently caught some episodes of Chelsea Lately hosted by female comedian Chelsea Handler and absolutely LOVE HER AND HER SHOW.

I think Chelsea is hysterical and love how she doesn’t hold back on anything – she’ll say whatever’s on her mind, no matter how un-PC it may be. She does a great job pointing out the absurdities in celebrity culture and isn’t afraid to make fun at herself and what she does for a living. I also think it’s great that she’s thriving in the “late night television” world, an industry typically dominated by male hosts.

I’m not surprised she’s a success – Chelsea has a ton of energy, is naturally hilarious, and very fast on her feet. She reminds me of myself so I think it’s only natural that E! gives me a talk show next.

Check out some of her interviews below:

On Letterman – I get the feeling Letterman is impressed by how sharp she is

Chelsea interviewing Adam Lambert – Lambert seems like such a sweet guy!

Chelsea spoofing Living Lohan – Ha, “Cody, just get out of the room okay, until I can figure out how to make some money off of you”

NY Times – Among Late-Night Writers, Few Women in the Room

“In many ways, television today is about women more than men. More women watch television than men; female producers and writers have had huge success in prime time and daytime; in January, women will occupy two of the three seats as anchors of network evening newscasts.

But there is one glaring exception: very few women make it inside the writing rooms for late-night television hosts, despite that women make up a larger proportion of their audience than men.”

Interesting article – I’ve noticed the lack of late-night women talk show hosts, but never knew about the lack of female writers.

On a side note, I’m a HUGE fan of Chelsea Lately. I think Chelsea Handler is hysterical and I love how she’s not afraid to speak her mind. Some of the guys I’ve met are turned off by how forward she is, but I like her attitude.
