Comedian and talk show host Chelsea Handler took over hosting duties for Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night and it was not surprising that she went after the madness that is the United States political climate in her opening monologue, including her stance on Roe v Wade and why she cannot be inducted into her high school's hall of fame.

In the show opener, Handler brought up how having had three abortions in high school kept her from being inducted into New Jersey's Livingston High School's list of famous alumni.

"I recently found out that my high school in New Jersey, Livingston High School, is refusing to induct me into their alumni hall of fame," she began, noting that fellow alums Jason Alexander and Chris Christie had both been inducted.

She added this funny jab at the school,

"Apparently, the school is upset about how much I talk about my abortions, so I've decided to start a grassroots campaign."

"You should donate to Planned Parenthood, and then march, and then vote, but after you're done with that, go online and tweet a message to the school district for my alma mater @LivSchools. Let them know how you feel about this gross injustice and use the hashtag #Hall4Handler. Have fun with it. Make me proud. Livingston High, the hall is in your court."

Communications and Community outreach coordinator Michelle Bent gave a reply to the New York Post,

"On behalf of the current Livingston Public Schools administrative team, Ms. Handler was not refused for the LEF Hall of Fame. Following an email exchange with her representatives in February/March 2022 about how the district could honor Ms. Handler, and extended conversations with the Livingston Education Foundation (LEF), the district told her representatives that she would be considered by the LEF the next time candidates are considered.

"It has been several years since the LEF has nominated and inducted new individuals into the Livingston High School Hall of Fame.The LEF has expressed that it is looking forward to bringing the Hall of Fame event back soon. At that time, it can formally nominate and induct new LHS alumni."

This wouldn't be the first time Handler has discussed the issue. In a 2016 Playboy interview, she said,

"When I got pregnant at the age of 16, getting an abortion wasn't the first idea that popped into my unripened brain."

She added,

"I felt parented, ironically, while I was getting an abortion. And when it was over, I was relieved in every possible way."

So, the question remains, will Chelsea get into the hall of fame? Guess it's up to Twitter now.
