And by Conan's "reaction", I just mean that he had almost no reaction. It looked like he recognized that it was mean spirited and "low hanging fruit", momentarily having a "that's a shitty joke" look on his face. Of course Andy's response had gotten noticeable reactions afterwards, but I always thought Conan should have gotten more recognition for his response than he did, especially because he didn't even try to fake laugh like you can catch him doing from time to time on his Late Night shows.
Does anybody know the episode he calls out Chelsea handler? It was right before she did her white privilege Netflix thing. He was going on a rant how it’s the cool thing in Hollywood to be anti-white and said “…and fuck Chelsea handler!” Lol classic.
Whenever people say the whole idea of crazy wokeness is just a big right-wing myth promoted on Fox News, I refer them to shit like this. From Handler: “If you’re a man talking to a woman about sexism, or if you’re a white person talking to a person of color about racism, the only responses are ‘Thank you,'” Handler said. 'Thank you for telling me, thank you for spending your time explaining this me and I’m sorry I didn’t know better.'"
"The only responses".... wow. So say a woman said something was sexist and you didn't think it was in fact sexist or a person of color said something was racist and you didn't think it was racist then what... oh right the "only responses" are "thank you and I'm sorry I didn't know better."
It's truly something. Now what if another woman or person of color enters the room and disagrees with the other woman and/ or person of color that ABC comment or perspective is sexist and or racist... do you then have to defer to their judgement or is deference to women and people of color only required when they are promoting a victimhood narrative? I imagine it's the latter.
Submission statement: If it weren't obvious, celebrities, woke culture, and the illiberalism inherent in these sort of attitudes is an issue Sam rightly cares a lot about.
EPISODE SUMMARY > Handler!? You hardly even knew 'er! But now you're gonna, on a wild ride through pinky rings, $2000 cab rides, and nasal swabs on first dates... with none other than Chelsea Handler. Can you even handler it!?

So I was never dying to hear LVP’s podcast but Chelsea and her was my 2 worlds colliding so I watched it.
First of all, LVP suuuucks at conversation, I didn’t realize it so much on RHOBH because of the editing but she’s the worst listener ever because 1. She doesn’t actually listen and 2. Doesn’t connect to the person she’s talking to.
The first half an hour she’s interrupting, she’s annoying Chelsea a bit and she’s fascinated with non-conventional life choices.
This is where it got interesting. They share a life story. Chelsea lost her brother and that affected her a lot and so did LVP when her life changed a lot. I didn’t know this but LVP says she went to grief counselling and got on antidepressants at the time.
So from this point on the interview got good. LVP showed a real interest in how this happened to another woman she actually “looks up to” and she was very inquisitive about how you find someone that you trust with this etc. How you let someone guide you through emotional stuff and shape you in a way. She was really interested as she saw a common thread in this tragedy and how it affected her.
Chelsea, I assume does not watch RHOBH, and does not “know her” as much as we do, so she did her shpiel a bit with jokes about therapy where I hoped if this was off camera they could’ve had a heart to heart.
So my 2 takeaways from this are:
- I don’t really like LVP when It’s 45min long scene and not 10min over a whole episode, I dislike people who are so closed off and don’t connect with other people
- She has a lot of emotional wounds and I wish she would go to therapy and truly work at it. I feel it would be so good for her.
What do you guys think? Anyone watched this?
During the opening remarks of the Fred Stoller episode, he and Adam are trying to encapsulate the late night hosting drama for the folks at home, discussing who might take Leno’s spot. They run through various names and then Norm says, “Chelsea Handler beats ‘em all, and no one seems to care.”
Link to the Fred Stoller episode. Jump to about 7:30.
So, what I’ve always wondered is, was this off-handed comment an honest opinion? Was he really that big of a fan of Chelsea? Did he think she was funny or was he just expressing bewilderment that Chelsea’s name was never really thrown out there as a serious contender?
I don’t personally think she’s funny and I also don’t think she would play well in that traditional late night host spot, but that’s neither here nor there - I’m just wondering if anyone has an opinion on this very important matter.
Is anyone else so surprised to see Chelsea Handler has gone on Call Her Daddy after the slut-shamey comments she made about being on GGE?
