Last night, CNN’s Piers Morgan found himself, as a kick-off to his one-year anniversary celebration, in the role of interviewee when late night host (and, now, sitcom star) Chelsea Handler confronted Morgan about his aggressive — and often flirtatious — interviewing style.

HBO’s Bill Maher paid a little visit to E!’s Chelsea Lately, where he revisited a certain pesky little story that has been following him around for nearly a year now. Maher told host Chelsea Handler that his February 2011 joke involving The View‘s Elisabeth Hasselbeck and CBS’ Lara Logan had not been in reference to the sexual violence Logan endured while covering the uprising in Egypt.
