Chelsea Handler zings Piers Morgan: "Well, maybe that's why your job is coming to an end"
Not once in any of her previous "Piers Morgan Live" visits has Chelsea Handlerpulled any punches.
Not when she stressed the importance of "sleeping around with people you work with".
Certainly not when she spoke of her attempt to read "50 Shades of Grey", before giving up, and ultimately describing the book as "poorly written" and "trash".
And not even when the television personality and comedian weighed in on Sarah Palin, referring to the former Alaskan governor as "not a serious person".
So, it should come as little surprise that the 39-year-old star of "Chelsea Lately" held nothing back when sitting across from Piers Morgan on Monday evening.
As the topic turned to social media, the host attempted to pay his guest a compliment, noting "you tweet very amusingly."
In classic fashion, Handler fired back, and not in a loving way:
"I wish you did."
Knocking the host for his lack of focus, the author of the new book "Uganda Be Kidding Me" really lit into her fellow late-night colleague.
"You can't even pay attention for sixty seconds. You're a terrible interviewer," she said.
Attempting to defend himself, Morgan offered the following explanation:
"Well, you just weren't keeping my attention."
Handler, however, wasn't having it:
"That's not my problem ... this is your show. You have to pay attention to the guests that you invited on your show ... it doesn't matter how interesting I am. You signed up for this show," she insisted.
Morgan continued to suggest that it was the guests fault for not being interesting enough. At this point, Handler went where only she could go, unleashing a zinger that left an embarrassed Morgan speechless:
"Well, maybe that's why your job is coming to an end."
Trying desperately to redeem himself, Morgan went to the well with one of his usual questions, asking Handler about the prospect of reliving one hour of her life.
Without hesitation, she hammered him once more:
"It would be spending this hour differently."
Watch the above clip for more, as the host begs his guest to "be nice." And, for the next episode of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9p.
