Chelsea Handler is already slated to take a turn guest-hosting “The Daily Show,” and she told the cohosts on “The View,” she’s open to making it a full-time gig. After promising to fill her hosting stint with content about Elon Musk, George Santos, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert, the longtime late-night personality said, “I’m open to talking about doing the job permanently, depending on what the logistics and what the relationship is like. I’m going to go in and host it for a week and then we’ll see how that goes.”
But even if it’s not Handler herself, she thinks it’s time to see a woman behind “The Daily Show” desk. “We need a woman hosting a male talk show,” Handler said, to great applause. “It’s enough already. Like enough time has transpired. There’s a dearth of women in that position and it’s just too much.” She acknowledged that “men are doing a great job in late night representing us, but they’re not women. We need women representing women.”

Of course, Handler is best known as a comedian, but she’s no stranger to getting political. In fact, in 2017, per the New York Times, she quit her talk show “Chelsea” in order to focus on political activism full-time. Now, maybe she’ll get the opportunity to do both.
