Chelsea Handler trashed her bosses at E! pretty hard on The Howard Stern Show earlier this year but that hasn't affected her hiring prospects. The comedian's hour-long special Uganda Be Kidding Me will air on Netflix in October as a prelude to Handler's upcoming talk show gig on the streaming service. The special tapes tomorrow at Chicago's Harris Theater.

The talk show isn't scheduled to start until 2016, but Handler will be busy with Netflix in the meantime, as she's got four "docu-comedy specials" coming next year, Netflix said.
