Chelsea Handler will be taking questions about her new Netflix series on Twitter Thursday morning, March 17 at 9 a.m PT. The comedian officially announced her new thrice-weekly Netflix spot on Twitter via a picture of a handwritten letter. The talk show will stream every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday beginning May 11. Episodes will be 30 minutes with no commercials, and available to watch on Netflix forever.
Handler asked for title suggestions on Twitter and she got a few good contenders. Check out the list of names and potential Netflix title designs below:

Few details about the show have been revealed, though the letter above states, “You’ll be traveling around the world learning new things.” The passage continues, “When interviewing respected public figures. It’s election year, good timing.”
The author of the letter also included a dream guest list consisting of The Pope, Michelle Obama, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's maid. “You’ll be streaming in 190 countries, so remember to keep a deeper, more culturally sensitive perspective. Especially toward the germans, they're still touchy about everything they did,” the letter concludes.
This will be Netflix’s first regular series. Unlike other shows where an entire season is released at once, followed by another batch of episodes a year later, Handler’s will stream continuously, multiple times a week. Other streaming services, such as Hulu and Amazon Prime, have yet to use this strategy to attract subscribers.
