Updated: Chelsea Handler will record four episodes of her talk show Chelsea Lately in Oz in November.

clUS talk show host and vodka lover Chelsea Handler will record four episodes of her show Chelsea Lately in Australia in November.

The show, which screens on E!, is notable for being the only late night talk show currently on any network with a female host. Handler is only the second woman since Joan Rivers to present late night television.

“I’m waiting for someone to tell me (why we’re going) though. You should just be happy I’m not bringing a former president over with me,” she told The Australian.

Chelsea Lately is known for deriding celebrity, on a network that traditionally embraces it.

Handler is known to have shown a dislike for celebs including Zac Efron, Tori Spelling, Megan Fox, Tyra Banks, Jonas Brothers, Paris Hilton, Madonna, Amy Winehouse, John Mayer, David Hasselhoff, and Brooke Shields. Others are sometimes credited with “being a good sport”, such as Lisa Rinna, Michael Lohan, Denise Richards and Antonio Sabato Jr.

“You don’t make fun of celebrities who don’t deserve it; you only make fun of the people who really do,” she says.

“It’s easy to make fun of somebody just for the sake of it but there’s so many people to focus on who just make asses of themselves, it keeps us pretty busy.”

The shows will be recorded from November 23 to 25 at Sydney’s Foxtel Studios in front of a live audience, and will feature Australian guests.

Chelsea Lately currently airs 10.30pm on weeknights on E! Entertainment.
