About this episode

Chelsea Handler comes to We Can Do Hard Things to talk for the first time about her breakup with Jo Koy, her definition of real love, and her commitment to never abandon herself. 


About Chelsea:

Chelsea Handler is a comedian, television host, best-selling author and advocate whose humor and candor have established her as one of the most celebrated voices in entertainment and pop culture. She was the host of E!’s top-rated “Chelsea Lately”, a tenure in which Handler was the only female late-night talk show host on-air. Her documentary series “Chelsea Does” was followed by her talk show “Chelsea” on Netflix in 2016. 


She has penned six best-selling books, five of which have reached #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list, including 2019’s Life Will Be the Death of Me. In 2020, she released her first stand-up special in over 6 years, the critically acclaimed “Chelsea Handler: Evolution” on HBO Max, which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. 


Most recently, she launched her iHeart Radio advice podcast “Dear Chelsea” and embarked on the “Vaccinated and Horny” Tour, bringing her sensational stand-up set to 40+ cities across the nation and winning “The Comedy Act of 2021” at the People’s Choice Awards.
