What insights does Chelsea Handler share about Hollywood parties?
All right, we got Chelsea Handler. Chelsea Handler, old friend, old friend of the show. I see her out and about a lot. Always funny. Just did the Critics' Choice Awards. We talked to her, and she was, of course, on fire, getting laughs.
Yeah, she's a pistol. She's got a lot of energy. She says what's on her mind. Very funny. Never been shy. Never been shy. Yeah.
We covered a lot. We talked about dating. We talked about stand-up tours, who's filling arenas these days. All the ins and outs of her life. Had a lot of laughs. Anytime you have a just straight-up comedian on, we have a lot of laughs.
Yeah, we started laughing the minute we started, and it went all the way through.
So here she is, Chelsea Handler.
Chelsea Handler.
Hi, my two penis-faced buddies.
I don't know. I saw Chelsea recently, Dana, at a little backyard get-together. Oh. Remember, I came over here on the couch. I said hi.
Was it at Ted's house?
What are Chelsea Handler's thoughts on dating in Hollywood?
It was at Gervitz's, our manager.
Oh, yes.
How does Chelsea Handler describe her stand-up comedy career?
Yes, yes, yes. That was a really fun party. Apparently, I left that party too early. I heard it went all night long and that you got on stage and sang.
No, you know what? That was the idea. There was, it was going to be, uh, people would sing, but by the way, I got there at seven cause everyone was a little older. So I got there at seven going, Oh no, no one's going to be there yet. And then people are leaving. I go, wait guys, this is, I'm the old guy, but I wasn't the oldest guy there for once. And, uh, and then Dana, I don't think you went to that one, but after about nine, it was kind of slowing down. And then I go, are they going to sing? And they're like, no, they did a birthday cake. And then they go, and then his daughter sang. Remember that Chelsea?
Yeah. Yeah.
Lovely song. And then I said, I guess that's it. And they go, no, Eddie's not going to sing.
What experiences does Chelsea Handler have with her special?
And I go, oh, I thought we're going to all going to sing. Okay. So I leave. And then about two hours later, Sandler's like, you're up. And I'm like, I'm up. I'm in bed. I don't know. Are we doing this? And did you go back? No, he's too far away. It was an hour.
Right, exactly. There was a lull in that party after about two hours. And that's when a group of people left. I didn't know that we were supposed to stay and things were going to, you know, there was going to be an act too. So I also, I was, we may as well have left together, David. David, like we've done so many nights of our lives.
So many times. And I liked it because the party was fun, but it felt like a long party and it felt like there's a cake and we weren't really bailing out. It was just like, I thought they were trying to say scoot, you know, because it's probably 30 people left.
Also, I feel like Gesundheit, if that was a sneeze, Dana. I also feel like LA is so lame. You know what I mean? Like no one is out at till nine. I mean, that's what time everyone goes to bed. Every party ends earlier. It's just, it's almost like it's so hard to even go out because- The scene is kind of just so subdued. So many people are sober. It's just not what it used to be. I'm going to just throw that out there.
Throw that out there to talk about. Explain to me as a fellow human being why anybody... And their right mind would go to a Hollywood party. No. Isn't it the most hideous? I mean, I like four people at your house for dinner. I'm not going to book it. That would be nice. Five. One conversation's happening. But the small talk derby, what's up? Chelsea, what's going on? Oh, yeah. You know, God, I don't know how you guys deal with it.
Well, when it's hours of that and you keep walking to the same people all night, you don't know what to say the eighth time you see them. Yeah.
And it's also like you have to question why you're at parties. Like, what's your motivation?
How does Chelsea Handler view the evolution of female comedians?
Why are you why am I here? Like, am I promoting anything? Like, am I why am I going to an Oscar party? I'm not nominated for an Oscar. Why am I at the party? Like, I always I'm like, no, it's like, you know, you got to show up once in a while to, like, refresh people's memories. but um i find la to be if i wish i i want to i want to have a place in new york that's going to be my my goal i think that's a little bit it's too unhealthy like i'm becoming almost elderly in this lifestyle whenever i'm here which isn't frequently i come back home and like last night i was supposed to go over for friends for dinner which was the kind of event you're describing or dinner you're describing dana which is actually sounded really nice but even getting in my car
