At the same time Ellen DeGeneres announced she is ending her daytime show after 19 seasons, Chelsea Handler says in a new interview she could make a return to hosting a talk show.
“I could see myself coming back to [a talk show] now, now that I’ve had enough space from it, and I’m getting to do the projects that I really want to do, projects with meaning,” she tells digital publication Story + Rain. “I think I’d have a much clearer vision for how I’d want to proceed with a show like that. It will probably happen at some point.”
Handler’s “Chelsea Lately,” ran on E! from 2007 to 2015.
“I was just burned out on celebrities for a while because it was all I did. And I felt like I had so much more to share and so much more to learn,” she tells the publication.
Handler also had a documentary series on Netflix. She currently has a new iHeartRadio podcast, “Dear Chelsea” where she gives advice.
As for what’s next, she’s looking at big issues.
“I’m very interested in death,” she says. “I’m very interested in parenting. I have a lot to say on parenting, because I have an objective look at all sorts of different kinds of parenting, and I know what’s up.
“As a single person who
chose not to contribute to all of the children in the world, I think I have something to say on the subject.
I’m going to do something big with parenting, because I am ready to.”
Adding she’s also interested in “anything with travel and learning, and anything involving experiences I haven’t had. All sorts of drugs.”
