Chelsea Handler decided to do her new talk show, Chelsea, because she wanted to get the college education she never had. So, when Chelsea premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, May 11th, one of her guests will be U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King.
You can learn a lot from a TEDTalk, so one of Chelsea’s guests on Thursday, May 12th, is TEDTalk’s Chris Anderson.
And what college education is worth the money spent on it if it doesn’t include a course on comics? On Friday, May 13th, comics expert Amy Dallen gives Chelsea a primer on the Marvel Universe just in time for the premiere of Captain America: Civil War.
Chelsea will run three nights a week – Wednesday-Friday at 12:01 PT beginning Wednesday May 11th. For her first week’s complete guest list, follow the jump.
