Chelsea Handler just announced on Facebook that she will not be returning for another season of Chelsea, her weekly Netflix talk show. Handler said she is planning to focus on activism, write a book and partner with Netflix on an original documentary that highlights her perspective on the current political climate.
Chelsea marked Netflix’s foray into the comedy talk show arena. New half-hour episodes were released three times a week in Season 1 before Handler switched to an hourlong weekly show format in the current second season. The show developed a following as Handler’s fans found her on the new platform, though it had a hard time breaking out in a very crowded comedy talk show space. Under Handler’s rich deal with Netflix, Handler also did the Chelsea Does documentary series, which was well received
Here is the full text of her post:
“Like so many across the country, the past presidential election and the countless events that have unfolded since have galvanized me,” Handler wrote. “From the national level down to the grassroots, it’s clear our decisions at the ballot box next year will mark a defining moment for our nation.
“For these reasons, I’ve decided not to return for another season of Chelsea, and instead devote as much time as I can to becoming a more knowledgeable and engaged citizen and to focus on projects that have significance to me. My goal is to be better informed, raise my voice, and participate in a more meaningful way. I want to travel the country and visit areas and people I don’t know enough about, speak at colleges and listen to students, and gain a better understanding of our political divide. I have joined forces with EMILY’s List to elect more women to public office, register people to vote, and campaign for candidates who are fighting for women’s rights.
“I’m excited to share that I will continue my partnership with Netflix, working together on a documentary where I’ll engage with people I don’t talk with enough – people of different ethnicities, religions and political philosophies. Netflix could not be more understanding, and I’m grateful for their continued support. New episodes of Chelsea will continue to stream weekly until the end of this year.”
Additional details on her upcoming original Netflix documentary will be announced at a later date.
Yes. She'll talk to Marxists AND Stalinists.
Who or what is a Chelsea Handler?
“Who or what is a Chelsea Handler?”
A skank of exceptionally extreme stupidity
Why is it that Leftist celebs think anyone is interested in their political commentary? And why is it that production companies pay them to do this stuff? Do these types of vanity projects actually make any money, or are they produced because the producers agree with the political bent?
She was a judge on the Gong Show and I’m not sure why she was even there. She scowled the whole time and made snarky remarks that weren’t even close to being funny. She also looked liked she hadn’t bathed or washed her hair in a week.
She’s an angry/depressed hygienically challenge beyotch.
That ‘s what the Rat Tard party needs more of: negative, sloppy, snarky women.
Agree that she is a shank.
Because...she learned so much about documentaries at film-making school? No....because she wants to put her Masters degree in communications to good use? No...because she worked on the school newspaper in college? No...
“At age 19, she moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles, California, to pursue acting, and worked as a waitress to support herself. At 21, Handler decided to pursue stand-up comedy after telling her story about a DUI to a class of other offenders, who found it funny”
I guess she’s entitled to lecture to us all after her successful books, such as “ Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me” and “My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One Night Stands”
I saw that one on our digital queue and asked my wife to delete it. I wouldn’t be watching anything with that person in it.
An alcoholic mudshark.
Good riddance.
Wait, that moron still had a talk show..WHO KNEW! Just heard she wants to travel the country and “Learn stuff” its gonna take that blubbering idiot 1000 yrs to learn anything
A butterface drunk with the IQ of a bowling ball.
I just thought she was some run of the mill late night moron "comedian", but she's a full-retard leftist activist.
I didn't really know what a hysterical freak she is, then I saw the election results and her interview where she was fanning herself to keep from crying over Trump being POTUS.
You ask who or what is a Chelsea Handler?
A walking, talking example of why the 19th amendment was a huge mistake.
I say that with all due respect to the female FReepers.
Nobody ever watched.
supposedly she’s also a “comedian”, but apparently completely unfunny. I think even Carrot Top had more on the ball than Handler.
I was going through Netflix shows and her name ‘Chelsea Handler’ sounded intriguing, so I tuned into about 3 minutes of her show and then tuned out... That’s how long it took to recognize that she was merely a potty mouthed liberal piece of trash who’s claim to fame is obscure at best... Apparently, she knows a lot of ‘A’ list (I’m pretty sure we all know what the ‘A’ stands for) celebrities.
Surprised it made through 2 seasons.
Good, now onto that Canadian leftist hack Samantha Bee, total twit on TBS.
Chelsea “if these were brains I’d be worth listening to but then I wouldn’t have a show” Handler.
Common middle name among liberal actresses...
So she was canned by Netflix.
