Chelsea Handler the next Barbara Walters?

Chelsea Handler plans to get serious.

The comedienne says she’d quite like to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Walters!

“I would like to do Barbara Walters’ interviews,” Handler told Peoplemagazine.

“I just interviewed Piers Morgan, which airs next week. I would love to be able to ask real questions and not be expected to get a laugh every time.”
