Stephan Colbert Can Eat It!

A straight, 47-year-old male probably does not fall in the normal demographic for the E! channel’s Chelsea Lately, but when said male’s television remote is hijacked nightly by a 19-year-old daughter who considers the bestselling book Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea her bible, he suddenly finds himself hostage to the program. Then the talk-gossip show host’s smart-ass shtick starts to grow on him. Then he finds himself watching the show when the 19-year-old is away. Then you-know-what replaces Colbert on his TiVo record list. If the obsession does not end with attendance to Handler’s upcoming standup gig—with her sidekick Chuy Bravo and her best friend Heather “Long Boobs” McDonald in tow—go ahead and fill out a stalker complaint.
