Guest Hosts
Over time, due to sickness, injury or holidays, Handler has been unable to shoot episodes, calling for guests hosts to stand in. In the past, frequent "round table" panelists Ross Mathews, Josh Wolf and Fortune Feimster have guest-hosted, with Mathews receiving very positive reviews.
From July 2012, there have been celebrity guest hosts called on to take on the role:
- Comedian/actor Wanda Sykes guest-hosted on July 30, 2012, while Handler was holidaying in London.
- Comedic actor Kevin Hart guest-hosted on July 31, 2012 and August 1, while Handler was holidaying in London.
- Actor/comedian Dax Shepard (Parenthood) guest-hosted on August 2, 2012, while Handler was holidaying in London.
- Australian comedic actor Rebel Wilson guest-hosted on September 7th. Wilson's time as guest host was not due to Handler's unavailability to shoot the episode, but rather at Wilson's request to host. Handler reversed her role and was the celebrity guest interviewed by Wilson on this episode.
- In February of 2013, Foo Fighters songwriter Dave Grohl sat in as host for a week that included an interview with Elton John.
As part of the show's Celebrity Guest Host Week, the first week of December 2012 had episodes guest-hosted by television personality Amanda De Cadenet, actress/singer Kristin Chenoweth, comedic actress Casey Wilson, and musician Dave Grohl.

Famous quotes containing the word guest:
“Entertaining angels unawares: It is always we who are to entertain the angels, and never they us. I cannot, however, think that an angel would be a very entertaining person, either as guest or host.”
