While speaking toEntertainment Tonighton Wednesday, the formerChelsea Latelyhost was asked if she could see herself returning to the talk-show genre.
“Yes, absolutely. I’m moving in that direction,” Handler, 47, told the outlet before adding what she misses most from doing late-night television: “Having a female’s perspective.”
“It’s enough to have a bunch of guys that are on our side and are speaking up on behalf of us, but it’s not the same as having a woman,” she explained. “There is a lack of female representation, in late-night, and I can do that job. I’ve done it before and I’m gonna do it again.”

During the chat, Handler also shared that she is “really looking forward” to guest-hostingThe Daily Showduring the week of Feb. 6 afterTrevor Noahannouncedhis departure from the Comedy Central show.
“That’s pretty much a great gig for me because it’s political, satirical. You get to make fun of everything. So, I love the idea of it,” she added.
