Chelsea Handler was a guest on Piers Morgan Live Monday night when she ripped into the host for his poor skills as an interviewer.

Chelsea Handler Slams Piers Morgan

During a commercial break, Piers Morgan apparently couldn’t be bothered to chat with Handler, who was on the show to promote her new book, Uganda Be Kidding Me. When Morgan asked her what her day-to-day looked like, Handler said, “Well, I have to go here and tolerate this nonsense.”

Changing the subject, Morgan told Handler, “You tweet very amusingly,” to which she replied, “I wish you did.”

“In the middle of a commercial break [you were tweeting]. I want your viewers to know,” Handler continued. “I mean, they must know, because they’re probably following you on Twitter. You can't even pay attention for 60 seconds. You're a terrible interviewer.”

Morgan, cutting in to defend himself, said, "Well, you just weren't keeping my attention. It's more an issue for you than me.”

Handler, of course, wasn’t going to back down. "This is your show. You have to pay attention to the guest that you invited on your show,” she said, adding with contempt, "Maybe that's why your job is coming to an end."

"Wow," Morgan laughed a bit awkwardly. Handler, enjoying herself, mimicked Morgan’s “Wow.”

Morgan Calls Handler A 'Woman Scorned'

After the interview, Morgan got back on Twitter to explain why it was so urgent for him to get on the social media site – Arsenal Football Club. He also referred to Handler as a “woman scorned,” which surely isn’t going to go over well.

CNN confirmed that Piers Morgan Live is nearing its last episode, though they’ve yet to announce when it will officially come to an end.
