The Countdown Is On for Netflix and Chelsea
David Lean, Dick Cavett and great expectations.
As Dave Itzkoff notes in this weekend’s New York Times profile of Chelsea Handler, the offices for the comedienne’s Netflix talk show debuting May 11 are in the David Lean Building on the Sony Pictures lot. If you’ll forgive the puns: the reporter, through this Brief Encounter, was able to ascertain that Handler is a Blithe Spirit who seems ready to live up to our Great Expectations.
Another name from yore also pops up in the feature, to FishbowlNY’s great delight:
Handler said she wants to avoid inviting celebrities just to promote their projects, and would rather emulate hosts like Dick Cavett, “when he would put on Janis Joplin with Henry Kissinger,” she said.
