Can I get a DU consensus review on Chelsea Handler?

[sharesunited]

She is on Comedy Central half hour stand ups. She's funny, in a very calculated way. And I am used to being a fan of uncomfortable and enjoying standup by another truth teller: Miss Sarah Silverman.

I know Chelsea Handler has recently been on Larry King Live to promote a book and let the world experience what her humor is.

Is Chelsea Handler funny and can she be as uncomfortably funny (laughing out loud, if I may be permitted) as Sarah Silverman?

1. She has a Nightly Talk Show ON E!

I admit I watch because the first half is a round table of gossip with a group of comics. My favorite shows are when Ross is on.

2. Friend of an Anti-Vaxer, Jenny McCarthy....So tell her PR people she sucks. n/t

4. Anti vaccination of ANY kind? Do vaccinations have any value according to your world view?

I haven't quite been enlisted in the anti vaccine movement yet.

Tell me in broad strokes what I need to know.

5. Kindly tell her PR 'Handlers' she sucks, marketing surveys for the OWN network aside.

Bit of inside baseball----

I participate in another board that was asked the same question.

One can google the Winfrey/McCarthy connection.

That Ms Chandler is being shopped to the OWN Network is unsurpising..especially since her good friend McCarthy wasn't able to clear certain hurdles for her show.

11. The anti-vaccine movement is only possible because of vaccines.

Because vaccination has been so widespread and so successful, diseases like measles, pertussis, and mumps no longer kill thousands of people and cause horrendous side effects. We've forgotten, as a culture, how devastating these diseases can be. And because of 'herd immunity', or the fact that because so many have been vaccinated, those who are not vaccinated have less chance of catching one of these diseases, more people are alive. To shun the very vaccines that increased the life span.

13. There hasn't been a Digital Equipment VAX made in decades

and why she would care about old computer equipment is beyond me.

Did she used to work for IBM or something?

10. I just wrote to my girlfriend that I am dumping her for Chelsea.

12. Have neve been a fan of Sarah Silverman

Find her boring and not very edgy for the comedy side of things. However, I do like Chelsea..she's quick, comes across as smart, and really puts on good show.

14. I love her and try to watch her as often as I can. n/t
