Chelsea Handler Tour

Archive for April, 2011

Not content on simply being known as Chelsea Handler’s older brother who was slowly plucked out of obscurity after appearing in the “Chelsea Lately” spin-off, “After Lately” as a series regular, Roy Handler now says he wants to have his own show and his own side-kick too.

“I’m gonna pitch something to Chelsea about doing a cooking show…But it’s not necessarily a cooking show, it’s more of you cook but you actually converse during the whole show, not about the food, about comedy and hanging out with people. Just about everyday stories,” says Roy, a professional chef but whose recent taste of fame – thanks to his youngest sister – might have caused the sudden career detour. As for his idea of a side-kick, it is clear that Chuy does not stand a chance for the bill because Roy wants a “nice, pretty girl sidekick.”

E! will be airing the season finale of “After Lately” on Sunday at 11 PM. The episode will feature the older Handler in a bit with Tori “Horse Face” Spelling as she tries to win him over as she is in the hunt for a personal chef. Tori will also let her hair down as she makes fun of herself and tries to get back at Chelsea for comparing her to a four-legged creature.

“There’s a scene in After Lately that’s coming up where she calls herself ‘horse face’. So she’s mocking herself and mocking the s–t that Chelsea said about her,” Roy adds.

If you think you’ve seen all the hilarious stops from Chelsea Handler and her gang of riotous comedians, then you ain’t seen nothing yet as the ‘Chelsea Lately’ spin-off, “After Lately”, will be bringing all the outrageous fun this Sunday for its season finale, in an attempt to prove a point to their home network that they deserve to be picked up for a second season.

So what should you expect in this Sunday’s episode? A whole lot of pranks involving Chelsea herself, everyone’s favorite ginger comedian Brad Wollack, Heather ‘long boobs’ McDonald, Sarah Colonna and her never ending attempt to show “decent cleavage”, and Chris Franjola and his dance-off challenge with pop star Justin Bieber.

The episode will also feature a cameo from Tori Spelling in a bit involving her and Handler’s brother, Roy, as she intends to hire him to be her personal chef. Dr. Drew Pinski will also be gracing the episode in a segment spoofing “Celebrity Rehab”, “except we aren’t as famous as Keyshia Cole’s mother or Tiger Woods’ No. 1 VIP waitress,” says McDonald.

“How many other shows on TV could have Dr. Drew, Tori Spelling and Justin Bieber on the same episode?…There are no more original episodes after this Sunday, so it’s your last chance to laugh at the TV series that hasn’t made you laugh this hard in years. Hopefully someone at E! is reading this and decides to give us a second season already!” Wollack says. Laugh out loud this Sunday when “After Lately” airs on E! at 11 PM EST.

Chelsea Handler Says Cancer is No Laughing Matter

Posted by deyb On April - 1 - 2011

Jokes are commonplace on April Fools’ Day.

And Chelsea Handler, comedian, likes to hear good jokes. However, on this April Fools’ Day, she is addressing a topic that no one can laugh about.

Handler, along with her Chelsea Lately staff, is joining forces with AbolishCancer, a non-profit group dedicated to raising awareness about the deadly disease. She will be asking her fans to donate $1 on April 1 to a cancer charity of their choice as a part of AbolishCancer’s “1-4/1 Cancer’s No Joke” project.

The group intends to bring the cause to the forefront of everyone’s minds through the use of comedy. They also want to raise funds to support cancer research.

Handler did her part by taping a public service announcement in which she indicated that her reason for participating is her mom. Sarah Colonna, one of the writers on the show and who appears often on air, will be giving $1 as a tribute to her grandma. Brad Wollack, Heather McDonald, Josh Wolf, aChris Franjola, and Jeff Wild are all comedians participating in the campaign.

Colonna released a statement in which she said, “They say laughter is the best medicine, so if I can combine my profession with helping the fight against cancer, it’s a win-win. Let’s all support Abolish Cancer.”

Even though the current state of the economy might prevent people from donating a lot of money, according to Darah Bonham, founder of AbolishCancer, just bringing attention to the matter is a main goal of the project. The group wants to show that even $1 is significant in fighting the disease.
Bonham stated, “We’ve all been touched by cancer in some way or another. We want to unite passionate people to raise awareness and money to put an end to this disease and show solidarity as a global cancer-fighting community.”
