“Sometimes Twitter. Well, no, Twitter, if you're naked because they don't take it down. Newshot. That's right. So if I'm in the bushes and I take my top off in Moscow, that goes to Twitter. Okay. After I leave Russia. And then Facebook is good for videos. That's probably the best place for videos.”

“And I know I have a Yeah. So I'm like, okay, well, then there will be something else after Snapchat. Sure. But, you know, Instagram to me is... Very everybody with their filters and their silly, like everyone wants to look so beautiful. I'm very anti that. I like to look good, but I'm really gross. I find it gross to kind of constantly change your features, you know, and like trick people. So I've always been a little bit more, I have erred on the side of like, this is me at my, you know, not my best. When we do a glamour shot with me, my girls, it's like we're all just like, it feels so weird to even be like, okay, take a picture for Instagram, you know. Of course, I've done it, but it's not as authentic as me like, you know, disrobing and going here, this is how silly I look in the morning naked. Where”

“I thought I could make this fun. And I did, and I have fun with it. Talk about Snapchat because we just had our conference and everybody was sort of talking about the ascendance of Snapchat, even more so than before. And I know I have a 14-year-old. He lives on Snapchat.”

“Twitter, I like to just kind of send out Twitter's not a video place, really. I like, I think Twitter's kind of a little bit more cerebral than the other ones. So I like to, you know, tweet out one-liners or commentary on the election or Trump or whatever and make fun of things. You know, it's nice when you have a stream of consciousness or you wake up with a funny thought and tweet it out. I didn't embrace it as much. In the time I took off, I was kind of like absent from the whole social media world. So you come back and there's this influx of, I'm like, I have to Snapchat. That is like the most narcissistic gross way to spend my day. But I rearranged my brain around it and I thought I could make this fun. And I did. And I have fun with it.”

“And I just looked this morning, and for the kids, I'm not great, it's like 600,000 views on Facebook. I'm like, that seems like a lot. That's a lot. And that's one of those things that hits without you even realizing it. Like they posted that yesterday or two days ago and I had no idea. Right. Do you use it?”

“Right. Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, we put out a video, like I do this PSA, this recurring PSA is called Kids They're Not That Great. Like you don't have to have kids. And we just filmed a bunch yesterday called Marriage. You can say no. Yeah. Like the advantages of being single, successful, and not tethered to anybody. Right, right.”

“You know Right Right. But there is a thinking that you have to do these. I hate to use this word, but they're called snackable. Snackable that people can flip through them, and they're structured that way because of the way people are watching.”

“Yeah, I don't love doing stunt stuff. I mean, I think it's fun if it's well thought out and it fits within the show's format, but doing a stunt for the sake of doing a stunt? No. You know, I mean, that works beautifully for James Corden and like Carpool Karaoke or, you know, and for Jimmy Fallon and his stuff. But you have to find whatever it is organically because the show by nature of it is already viral. The fact that it is streaming makes it viral.”

“I'm like, what is stream But I don't think I'll ever really question. I don't really care how it works. It's just that it gets there. But I do think there's a different way to create. When people are watching in an online mode or in a binging mode, there's a different way to create than the way television has been done.”

“To me, it's a TV show. I don't feel like it's online. You know, I don't even really know what that means. I'm not some tech savvy person who's like, when they said streaming, I had to have somebody really break that down for me. I'm like, what is streaming? Yeah. I mean, I think I do, but I don't think I'll ever really quite get it. Not like you get it.”

“Okay Well, if you're talking about, you know, it depends if you're talking about being just creative for the sole purpose of being creative, or you're talking about being monetarily creative if you're talking about making the most of your situation. For me, that kind of thing, my impetus has never been money. So like constantly creating things around my brand or persona is not interesting to me. What I'm trying to do is create a television show that's that, you know, this is the first global talk show in the history of television. I want to focus on that and be really and get really good at that. Right. So creating that, yes, you have to be mindful of the fact that this is being fed into all these different languages and that humor translates sometimes and doesn't all the time. But you can't pander. I can't decide, okay, I want to appeal to Germany all of a sudden because then the rest of the people are like, well, wait. So I think as a somebody who's like a comedian, you have to just be really authentic to your point of view and then send that message out.”

“Yes, I wanted to basically use Chelsea Does as a bridge to the new talk show, and I wanted to kind of coalesce the two things, a talk show format with elements of Chelsea Does, which is exactly what I'm trying to do. I want to kind of have that vibe. You know, those are documentaries, so you're watching, I mean, I use that term loosely, you're watching those in an hour long, so it's a little different because you don't have an hour to explore a topic within a 30-minute format. But you can still do it a little bit. And I like that. So we're kind of combining the two. And so you're just finding your footing within that. Is interesting and doable. So we're, you know, every day we're like, okay, that worked, this worked, this didn't work, let's do it this way.”

“Just, you know, I wanted everything. I wanted to talk to different. I want to talk to older people about the election, younger people, kids. I talk to kids a lot. They're a big part of the show. And I talk to, I mean, when I say kids, like eight, nine-year-olds. You know, talking about Donald Trump is very entertaining. And then we went, you know, we just like, we went in Tokyo, I took geisha training classes, and I went to Geisha school, and then we went to an event with Geisha.”

“You're just like, okay, see you next time because you Right, right, et cetera. Right. And so you just taped them as the way you used to do a show on a set, and then when you go out, you do the out, but it's not different in terms of production or how you think. Well, what we did.”

“But for the most part, other than politics and other than kind of stories that happen, there are broader topics that you're just going to touch on regardless of the time. So it doesn't really, I mean, it's definitely something to be mindful of, you know, when we're going off, it's like, okay, see you next time instead of see you tomorrow night. You're just like, okay, see you next time because you don't know what order people are watching, et cetera.”
2016-06-13 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: Chelsea Handler · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“No, it's much different. I mean, we put a lot more effort into this because it's more, you know, it's a much broader show and there's a broader scope of topic. So there's a lot that goes into it. We actually shoot the shows on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, because they need a 36-hour turnaround to feed them into the other countries. So we shoot them Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then we spend all day, Thursday, and Friday figuring out how we're going to approach, you know, like with the election and stuff. Right. If there's going to be new stuff that's coming out after the show's aired, we have to kind of be strategic about when we place that show during the week.”

“You can categorize it as late night based on that alone. But, you know, I think, I don't know when you watch a show like that, nor do I care. I just, I like the access I have to all these different kinds of places and countries. And Netflix is so encouraging about going and traveling to all these places and highlighting the cultural differences to many places that people may never get to go to. It's like if I'm going to go on vacation and see all these places, why not film it and show everybody what it's like in Mexico City that it's not that dangerous, that it's a beautiful place, you know, and that we should be more broad-minded about certain things. Sure.”

“Wherever you want, whenever you want to watch it. You want to watch it in the morning, you can watch it in the morning. I mean, you can binge watch them all on the weekend if you want to, or you can watch one episode and be like, oh, these are the dinner parties she does. I like those. I don't like the rest of the show. Or I like when she does this kind of show. I want different types of shows within my show. Right. So that, you know, when you're tuning in and you see the caption, you're like, oh, okay, that's when she does this. Right. So, for me, there are myriad reasons to be on.”

“I've always had control. At E, they let me do whatever I wanted to. So that wasn't the issue as much as The difference is that it lives there, first of all. It goes online, it's streaming, it's there forever. You know, you don't have a time to tune in. You know, if you look at the ratings of networks of late-night television shows, people aren't watching them. They're not watching them from start to finish, certainly. They have viral clips that they watch online. Well, they're doing it.”

Everything that I, you know, that makes up a full person, stuff that interests you and that you read in the paper and that you want to talk about with other people who can kind of inform you about, you know, we had Bill Nye on the other day.

“Well, it's an explanation sometimes. Sometimes I'm sitting down. Sometimes I start with a piece with kids, me talking to kids about politics. I just want the flexibility to have it different all the time so I can stay interested. I like the energy of not knowing what's going to happen next.”

“I can barely get by in this language, so I'm not really that eager to hear me in Germany. And then it gets fed into 190 countries. So that kind of platform is hugely attractive. I didn't even realize how big it was going to be when I signed on with Netflix because they just went into 190 countries about three months ago.”

I can have celebrities on, but there's a much different, you know, of course, you're going to have some celebrities on. I never said I wasn't going to do that.

“I could have done, of course, but what excites me, what's challenging, you know, I want to be out of my comfort zone. I want to do something I've never done before. I wanted to create something from the ground up. And I knew that Netflix was really the only partnership to do that with. And it is challenging. And it's everything I had hoped it would be. It's fulfilling in every way. You know, I'm working 12 hours a day doing stuff that I like, getting pulled in a million different directions, but in a way that I can now have politicians on my show.

And I said, can you get me in a room with Ted and whoever else is in charge over there? And so he did. And then I sat down with them and they got it. And I said, I want to do something different. I want to have a bigger platform. I want to do a more responsible show. I mean, I still want to be an idiot, but I want to give information in a fun way. And I want to do something a little bit more worldly and be a little bit more responsible with how I'm spending my time and what I'm putting out there. And I was bored and I wanted some time off. And they said, do it because we're not going to figure out the capabilities to how to stream your show for about a year anyway. So take a year. And then in the interim, I pitched the idea of doing like those four documentaries. And I said, I want to do one about racism. I want to do one about technology. I want to do one about drugs. And I want to do one about marriage. I want to go to Peru and do ayahuasca. And Ted goes, great, do it.”
