“I am so sorry I had to cancel my shows tonight in Portland and my show in Eugene,” Handler said from her hospital bed. “I had a scare at the hospital, and I don’t have COVID, and I’m okay, but I had to reschedule my shows.”
“So, I just wanted to say that, and I will see you all when I see you, and I’m sorry that I had to cancel,” she continued. “But I’m all OK. And I’m not pregnant.”
