She was highlighted on that TLC "Who Are You" show...she went overseas to discover her Jewish lineage...saw her in a different light. A very intelligent, witty, funny comedienne.


I love "Who Do You Think You Are" and saw the Chelsea Handler episode as well. Very interesting, but then there has not been one episode of that show that I didn't find fascinating.

I've seen Chelsea Handler's show a couple of times and don't find her terribly funny, so I won't miss it.

Is it safe to say I like her? She had another series on E quite a few years back which I liked. I do think she's been unhappy with the E network and it shows on this series. I think she's more suited for cable TV or regular stand-up gigs.

I can see why she would be unhappy with E!, now that she has broken up with the president of the network!

I just looked it up...she actually was dating the President of Comcast, Ted Harbert - 20 years older than her. He runs ALL the nets! They were together for a number of years - that's like a lifetime for her, with her dating patterns.

So glad she will be gone--her show was pathetic, she is so rude and crude.

I've only seen her a couple of times. She's one nasty lady.

I think that's OVER, awhile back.

I don't 'get' her. I don't mind her, but mostly I don't get it. The interviews can be ok. It's so late it's hard to pay attention!

Re: Chelsea Handler To Exit Her Show

She had some popular and very current guests which would have been interesting if the focus would have been on them more and not her. So far the only guest I ever saw that she couldn't control was Mike Tyson. She was completely flummoxed by him because he took control and wouldn't buy into her innuendos, etc. That lifted him in my eyes and I gained a new respect that I had never had for him before. I like many of her recurrent panel members, but she is extremely rude to some of them repeatedly. I guess she has made a lot of money with her crude attacks on people and her discussion of her s * x life as part of her act, but I'm not sure that should garner respect or admiration. You can be wealthy and still be trash.

I read that he's no longer with Comcast and is currently the Chairman of NBC Broadcasting.

I'd say they both moved on. They were together for four years from 2006 to 2010. He married for a second time in 2011.

She got the job when she was dating the president of the network...it's only fair that she loses her show now that they have broken up.

I actually lost respect for Jennifer Aniston since she says that Chelsea is one of her closest friends.

Have you ever heard the mean things that Chelsea has said about Angelina? Terrible stuff!

Definitely nasty but Angelina did steal Brad away from Jen her close friend. Not a fan of Chelsea her humor is a little harsh for me. I saw her show once while channel surfing and I surfed on by.
