Before Chelsea Handler had her own standup shows, she was just starting out in comedy. What do you think of the 23-year-old comedian doing her thang back on 1998?
Did you know that Chelsea Handler’s talk show is still streaming new episodes on Netflix? Well it is, but only for a couple of more months because today she announced that she is leaving her job to be more political. She wants tour the country and help get women elected to public office, register people to vote and campaign for people who are fighting for women’s rights. Who knows maybe she will follow in Kid Rock and Antonio Sabàto Jr’s footsteps and run for office? How much more of a joke can DC become?
When it comes to her making the decision on her leaving her show, I do not think it was only her decision. Even though Netflix does not release numbers, barely anyone talked about her show. Not that it is a surprise because she is the worst part of her shows.
Have you ever pondered what the Hamburger Helper looks like under his white glove? Nope. While you and I haven’t, @soongrowtired did and even drew some pictures of what he was thinking. One with a head in the palm and the other with a full skeleton in the mid section.
Somehow, Hamburger Helper heard about his plight to unglove the oversized hand and replied back to the curious fan with, “I cannot be defined by your so-called human standards.” Then two hours later, they revealed the answer to one of the great mysteries of our time that we did not know we needed the answer to.
Last Friday, Conan O’Brien was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and he told a story about how David Letterman got him a horse, yes a real horse, as a thank you gift for writing a nice letter to the semi-retired talk show host about all he did for late night television.
The story goes, when the TBS late night host heard that Letterman sent him a gift, he got overly excited. He got even more excited when he heard that the truck the present was in was too big to fit through the gates of the Warner Bros lot in Burbank. Therefore, he skipped, I am assuming, to get his gift that also skips. That is because it was a horse. What does a Harvard Man from Boston in LA via NYC know about horses? Nothing that is what.
Therefore, he found a place to take care of the unridable horse, and it was not cheap. On topic but off track, there are several equestrian centers in Burbank that are within a mile of where Conan tapes his nightly show. He could literally walk there, that is how close they are close to him. Anyways, after two years, he found a new home for Dave, so they donated Dave the Horse that was given to him by Dave the Letterman. A place so nice that is why we say that hoses go to greener pastures.
You would think that is where the story ends. It does not. David Letterman was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday, since the ABC host is taping the show in Brooklyn this week, and Dave told his side of the story. Letterman likes to give gag gifts and thought he would send Conan the horse with two cowboys while O’Brien’s show was taping and the stallion would take a big dump on the stage like when Ben Stiller brought a camel onto JKL many years ago. Then after the horse took a big sh!t on Conan’s stage, the giftee would sent the gift back to the gifter. That did not happen and Letterman had to pay for the thoroughbred that was returned to sender.
What did we get out of it? Two late night talk shows telling their stories on two other late night shows that are not their own. I cannot wait for Letterman to be Conan or Conan to be on Letterman’s Netflix show, so we can get the next chapter on their story.
And how did you like that in both cases the guests, who are also late night show hosts, totally dominated their interview segments on the other person’s late night show. The men behind their desks knew that they had met people who are better at their jobs than they are.
On that note, I think that Conan should spend a block of his show telling an unscripted tale because he is a great storyteller. I could watch him talk for 4 hours every week just talking about whatever. Don’t you just love the way he tells stories?
While most people wear their hearts on their sleeves, Rachel Bloom wears hers in a place where men think it is. Over her crotch.
The above photo is a unused shot for the ads The CW used to promote Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s third season. Instead the network went with one much closer to the way we saw Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and also one that is much safer. Which I think is a mistake because this one would get hearts pounding in the same place where hers is! It might even get more people check out the show that airs Friday nights at 9p. Why aren’t more of you watching this show that sings songs about UTIs, heavy boobs and period sex. What other program does that?
