Chelsea Handler opens up about the best and worst types of chat show guests

Chelsea Handler's days of hosting talk shows may be over (at least for now), but that doesn't mean she's done appearing on them.

On Thursday, the former Chelsea Lately host was a guest on A Little Late, where she told Lilly Singh all about her favourite — and least favourite — types of guests.

People she likes? Rappers. People she's less keen on? People who star in films she watched, but didn't enjoy.

So how exactly does she handle interviewing the latter?

"You just say, 'You look great,'" explains Handler. "You start with 'you look great' to everybody, 'cause people love that.

"I have trouble lying — I have trouble saying that I watched something that I didn't, or I liked something that I didn't — so I would say, 'Wow, what a... stretch for you.'"
