Comedian Chelsea Handler, who currently stars on her own late-night talk show Chelsea Lately, saw a version of her Playboy cover, which is due out in December, last night on The Jay Leno Show. Evidently, the actress had not seen the said cover so Jay Leno surprised Handler with a larger-than-life version of the magazine cover.
According to Handler, she quit drinking for "like a day and a half" to get in shape for the Playboy cover, which featured her standing in some fake snow, wearing a barely there white bikini and tall cushy boots.
When asked by Leno to strike a similar pose for the audience, Handler got shy a little bit while she jokingly said, "We need the guy that airbrushed me to come back."
