Chelsea Handler Playboy Pictures: Seen Chelsea's Cover Lately?

Do you like Chelsea Handler? Think she's sexy? Sexy enough for Playboy pictures? If your answer was yes, then you're in luck. Chelsea Handler is on the cover of Playboy's December issue. E! Online jokingly referred to the Chelsea Handler Playboy cover that Jay Leno revealed Wednesday night as Playboy's "biggest issue ever." Jay Leno presented the late night talk show host of "Chelsea Lately" with a 10-feet tall replica picture of the Playboy cover on his show at the end of their interview.

Chelsea Handler appeared on "The Jay Leno Show" Wednesday night and seemed a bit surprised when Jay brought up her upcoming Playboy pose. To convince her, he told her he had called Hugh Hefner, Playboy magazine's living figurehead, to obtain a copy of the magazine. To prove to her and the audience that he had seen the picture, he had the enormous blown-up cover dropped from the ceiling.

Chelsea Handler, a stand-up comedian when she isn't interviewing people on "Chelsea Lately," couldn't believe it. Then she attempted to strike the same pose as the in-stride bikini-clad giant Chelsea Handler on the massive Playboy cover, the woman she had quit drinking "like a day and a half" to become. But she couldn't quite get it right. Laughing, she said, "We need the guy that airbrushed me to come back."

Chelsea Handler, 34, has a history with Jay Leno, having appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" as a correspondent back in 1992. According to the Internet Movie Database, Chelsea Handler was on "The Tonight Show" as Jay Leno's guest 10 times between 2006 and 2009, when he stepped down as the host.

In between the times she's been working with or guesting on Jay Leno's shows, she has done countless stand-up shows, dozens of television and movie roles (hosting several shows), was a regular on Oxygen's "Girls Behaving Badly" series, and starred in the E! sketch series "The Chelsea Handler Show," which ran for two seasons. She began hosting "Chelsea Lately" in 2007 and the show has aired over 200 episodes. The popular talk show garnered her a 2009 Bravo A-List Funny Award and her contract with E! network was extended through 2012.

Her relationship with E! network doesn't end there. She's dating Ted Haubert, CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, which controls E! network.

Playboy pictures and covers aside, Chelsea Handler has worked hard to get to the level of success she currently enjoys. And to have people think she's sexy enough to grace the cover of Playboy magazine? Comedy heaven...
