Chelsea Handler Changes Netflix
Entertainment Weekly
“It’s just hard to go from seeing elephants living their lives in the wild and not being bothered by humans, to seeing them put in a bunker every night and then being forced to take assholes like us on rides.”

I've never been a fan of comedians or comedy shows. I've never liked late-night talk shows. But Chelsea Handler changed all of that.

"My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate."

After the ever-so-successful "Uganda Be Kidding Me" on Netflix, along with the newly added episodes of "Chelsea Does," on racism, marriage, Silicon Valley and drugs, Chelsea Handler will be re-entering the Netflix realm -- this time, in a unique way. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night, her new 30-minute talk show episodes will become available for streaming.

“I’m a ridiculous person. If you take anything any comedian says seriously, then you’re stupid."

Premiering May 11, Chelsea's talk show will show three nights a week from there on. But "talk show" doesn't do the new show justice. According to Entertainment Weekly, Handler said, “You’ll be traveling around the world and learning new things all courtesy of Netflix. Treat this as an opportunity to get the college education you forgot to get."

So, why this recently rash decision to jump from E! to Netflix? The celebrities she had to work with? (*cough* Justin Bieber) The content she was dealing with? Handler told ET, "It's the difference between playing with kids on a playground and being in a really well-respected college."

Streaming to 186 countries, she wants to keep it real and intriguing to all. By writing a letter to herself, and posting it on social media, she revealed comical (of course) details of her show.

She writes to herself, "Sign up with Netflix." Previously, Handler joked about needing to learn how to stream and continues that joke to this day.

Her dream guest list consists of "Michelle Obama" and "The Pope" and "Arnold Schwarzenegger."

With some motivation and sass, she writes, "You wanted a new show, you got it. You wanted to be on Netflix, you are. You wanted to spread your wings, now fly bitch." How can you not love her?

So, tune into Netflix on May 11, or May 12, or any day, anytime, to watch Chelsea Handler's talk show -- which remains unnamed to the public -- to get your much-needed dose of sexually ambiguous, graciously hilarious and mildly vulgar humor.

“Laugh loudly, laugh often, and most important, laugh at yourself.”

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
