Chelsea Handler

I don't like when people call me a trailblazer either because

I'm not out there with, you know, blazing trails.

But I think that it's just good to see women succeed.

It's good to see women being taken seriously.

And it's like the idea that women aren't funny is just so dumb.

And I know both of you know that.

But like, you know, for so many men out there who really think that men

that comedy is just a men's game.

It's been so insulting for so long that you just kind of turn off that noise.

Like, you know, when I was doing, for instance, my first talk show, Chelsea Lately, I didn't pay attention to any of that because I didn't go home at night thinking, what was it like to be the only woman in late night?

Those were just comparisons that everybody else made.

And I feel like if you spend too much time thinking about that,

aspect of it you're it's taking away from your creative outlet anyway you know what i mean you should be creating you should be doing your thing and not looking around to see what your your competition is doing because i certainly didn't look at david letterman and think i was in competition with him you know what i mean i wasn't i was on the e-network you know um so

Yeah, I did at that time.

Well, yeah, Whitney's show didn't really last too long, but we tried.

And then we produced a show for Ross Matthews.

He wasn't really a production powerhouse at the time I was there.

So it was really hard to get.

We did After Lately.

David, you were on that show with us, which was like a satire of Chelsea Lately, where I was just like a really exaggerated version of, you know, the cunt that I am.
