Voices CHELSEA HANDLER HUFFINGTON 03.02.14 TIMOTHY WHITE/E! No One Puts Baby in Parentheses FOR THE PAST six-and-a-half years I’ve had a job hosting Chelsea Lately on the E! network.

To me, it’s never been about being a woman in a man’s world; it’s been about delivering a consistently funny Chelsea Handler in a promotional image for her late-night talk show, Chelsea Lately.
