Its about being the first person to do that on this scale.
I think theres a lot of sameness.
In fact, Handler doesnt even like any of the shows.
While she has high praise for their hosts (I love Jimmy [Fallon]…
I love James Corden.
I love Conan [OBrien]), Handler said she isnt a viewer.
I like those guys.
Jimmy, I like a lot.
Jimmy Fallon, and hes done an amazing job, said Handler, 41.
Handler isnt quite sure that shes host material, herself, however: Im terrible at hosting.
I can talk and have interviews, but Im not a host in that sense.
I love to talk.
