"    If you were busy watching The Bachelor finale on Monday night, you might have missed Chelsea Handler&amp;#039;s guest spot on Piers Morgan Live. Thank the heavens for DVR and the Internet, then, because it is awesome: Handler not only brilliantly addressed all the pressures of being the only female host in late night television, she also completely shut down the piggish Piers Morgan in the process. &amp;quot;There have been so many times in the press where I have been marginalized,&amp;quot; Handler said. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to scream and yell about everything. I don&amp;#039;t want to be a squeaky wheel, I just want to be respected for what I do. You don&amp;#039;t have to like me, but you have to acknowledge I&amp;#039;m in the landscape of late night television. That&amp;#039;s my only issue.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I made a big deal about the last article that Bill Carter wrote in The New York Times,&amp;quot; she continued. &amp;quot;And now if I decided not to do late night any more, being the only woman in late night, it would be a problem, because then I&amp;#039;m leaving that space empty. So I kind of have to find someone to replace me. That&amp;#039;s what I&amp;#039;m doing right now,&amp;quot; she said, suggesting that when her contract ends in 2015 (which is sad) she&amp;#039;ll ensure a woman takes her spot (which is awesome).        But Handler didn&amp;#039;t just stick up for women, she stuck up for herself, too. When Morgan pressed her with &amp;quot;After the show, where do you go? What do you do?&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;How will you spend your life [in New York] this week, when you&amp;#039;re not working?&amp;quot; in this pedantic tone, Handler was annoyed. Understandably. It was like he assumed that because she wasn&amp;#039;t on the Chelsea Lately set, she must not be working. &amp;quot;Well I have to come here and tolerate this nonsense,&amp;quot; Handler said. &amp;quot;This nonsense is designed to flaunt your tawdry book,&amp;quot; Morgan shot back, which really just furthered Handler&amp;#039;s point that she has her hands in a zillion different projects, not just her late night show. And it only got more heated from there. &amp;quot;You tweet very amusingly,&amp;quot; Morgan said, at one point. &amp;quot;I wish you did,&amp;quot; Handler quipped. &amp;quot;I mean, in the middle of the commercial break, I want your viewers to know,&amp;quot; she added, suggesting he ignored her and was busy on his iPhone. &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t even pay attention for 60 seconds. You&amp;#039;re a terrible interviewer!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You just weren&amp;#039;t keeping my attention,&amp;quot; Morgan countered. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not my problem!&amp;quot; Handler said. &amp;quot;This is your show, you have to pay attention to the guest you invited on your show.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Maybe that&amp;#039;s why your show is ending,&amp;quot; she added. Like a bawse.  Photos Credit: YouTube   Via  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
