That also includes me, who has never seen the talk show or read the books.

But, as I mentioned, I find the show to be most interesting when Handler
herself is on screen. I wonder if the odd acting style and weird timing is
due to Handler though. She has a certain presence - kind of like Seinfeld
(though not nearly as much) that allows a style that basically is winking
to the audience about her awareness that she is an actor in a silly
sit-com, to work (ish). The rest of the cast does not have this presence at
all, and if they are imitating Handler's style, it is not helping the show.
