Chelsea Handler Signs Off E! Show in Star-Studded Farewell

Last night marked Chelsea Handler‘s last hosting Chelsea Lately, and she got a massive sendoff featuring all sorts of big-name celebrities, from Ellen DeGeneres to Jennifer Aniston to Miley Cyrus. How’s that for variety?

Some of these celebrities participated in some fun sketches with Handler, including Ellen fighting Handler in the shower, and Aniston, Sandra Bullock, and Mary McCormack staging a last-ditch intervention on Handler’s behalf.

But at the end of the show, an incredible array of celebrities––including Gwen Stefani (poking fun at her “Colbert” mispronunciation at the Emmys), Tim Gunn, Tim Allen, and Avril Lavigne––joined Handler on stage for a “We Are the World” spoof bidding Handler a fond farewell.

And finally, Handler spoke directly to the audience, thanking her fans and her crew for staying by her for the past seven years. And she ended with an excited reminder of where she’s headed next: “See you on Netflix!”
