US comedian Chelsea Handler has kicked off the 28th annual Critics Choice Awards by making reference to the Duke of Sussex’s recent controversial memoir in her opening remarks.
The awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles have been blighted by a number of withdrawals because of Covid, but Chelsea was in fine form getting the show under way. “Before we get started, I just want everyone to know that we are here to have fun and keep the vibes high,” she told audiences. “I know that I have a reputation that precedes me, but you should all know that I have visited two years of therapy. So everyone is safe now.”
Speaking about CCA-nominated Netflix show, Dahmer, she added: “Dahmer became the third highest viewed show on Netflix with a combined watch time of one billion hours, which apparently is the same amount of time we’re going to have to listen to Prince Harry talk about his frostbitten penis. It’s enough already.”
