In her opening monologue, host
Chelsea Handler talks about her comparison to a famous black talk show host, and the work of black people on television in general. Chelsea and her round table panelists
John Caparulo,
Arden Myrin and
Mo Mandel discuss
Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention, the Vanity Fair article on Scientology choosing
Tom Cruise's wife,
James Franco being sued by his ex-NYU film professor for defaming him for giving Franco a failing grade, an Atlanta teacher allegedly helping her students cheat, and
Jennie Garth and
Luke Perry possibly dating. And Chelsea chats with guest
Sanya Richards-Ross-Ross about winning two gold medals at the London Olympics, her training and nutrition regimen in prep for big meets and how she celebrates winning races knowing that she has another race coming up, doing her hair and make-up for races, and being originally from Jamaica and her take of why Jamaican runners have so much success.
