In her opening monologue, host
Chelsea Handler talks about her habit of conducting employee evaluations during the Christmas season. Chelsea and her round table panelists
Chris Hardwick,
Loni Love and
Kurt Braunohler discuss what Chelsea gave herself as a Christmas gift, the cast of
Jersey Shore (2009) talking about their future after the show concludes, Cathay Pacific flight attendants threatening not to serve alcohol or smile until their contract is settled, hoarding, binge eating and skin picking now being classified as mental disorders, and a spike in sales of hillbilly porn. Chelsea provides an update of the office arrangement at their new studio. And Chelsea chats with guest
Kevin Pollak about his new book "How I Slept My Way to the Middle" which includes a story about his mother and
Jack Nicholson on the set of
A Few Good Men (1992), his love of doing impersonations, working with a lot of people who Chelsea considers "hot messes", and going on a stand-up tour together with
Richard Lewis.
