Chelsea Handler to replace David Letterman next year?

Chelsea Handler is supposedly in talks with cBS to replace old, crusty pervert David Letterman next year. If this is the best CBS can come up with to replace the old coot, then they are really in trouble. For instance, Conan O’Brien’s contract with TBS is up in 2015. Jay Leno is a free agent. So CBS is going for Chelsea Handler? Yawn. Late night comedy just isn’t the same since Johnny Carson left. Chelsea Handler will leave E! in December. I guess it would be ironic though, a woman replacing a womanizer like Letterman.

The Wrap:
Insider tells TheWrap that the star was already negotiating for a show with the network ahead of David Letterman’s retirement announcement

Chelsea Handler is in talks with CBS for a late-night talk show, an individual close to the producer and E! talk show host told TheWrap.

CBS contacted Handler to discuss the potential of hosting a syndicated show in the wake of her announcing this week that she’s leaving E! when her contract expires at the end of the year. But Handler has told CBS that she isn’t interested in that option. As a result, CBS then expressed interest in considering Handler for Craig Ferguson’s 12:30 a.m. slot.
