Chelsea Handler earned her first Grammy nomination last year for best comedy album. She lost to Louis C.K., who admitted to sexual misconduct. “I would have preferred to lose to someone that I love a lot — like Kevin Hart,” she says.
on Dec. 27. Her recent breakup from her ex-boyfriend, comedian Jo Koy, also contributed to her continued revolution of self-reflection.
I’m hanging out with Handler two days after the midterm elections. Sitting in sneakers and a jumpsuit in her backyard, she’s feeling optimistic that the red wave was only a cable news myth, which voters stopped.“I don’t think this country is going to hell in a handbasket, which is what I thought for so long,” she says. “I’ve always been politically aware, but Trump sent me over the rafters. It is my responsibility as a well-known female to make sure I am standing up for women all the time.
“I definitely see room for a female voice in late night comedy,” says Jimmy Fallon, the long-tenured host of “The Tonight Show” on NBC. “It was Chelsea’s choice to leave. She wanted to do other things. And she did. And she did them well. I think the audience is still there for her.” As Handler looks at the late-night landscape, it “doesn’t look optimistic,” she bluntly says. “Talk shows are a dying art, and there has to be a new iteration of them. They’re not fresh. They’re stale. I don’t know what the answer is. But I’m definitely willing to be part of the solution.”
“It has become clearer, especially the last couple of years, that specials belong on Netflix,” Handler says. “That’s the best place to be. I have a long history with them, and I have a lot of stuff on that platform, so it’s a pretty natural relationship to go back.”
