Donald Trump can see himself out now. For me, "make America great again" is an action plan with just one bullet point: Get Chelsea Handler back on television in a talk show format. And that bullet point was achieved last night when Chelsea, Handler's new Netflix talker airing three nights a week, debuted on the streaming service. Here's what you missed while you were sleeping.

This will not be appointment viewing for you if you're on the East Coast. I was all settled in on the couch at 12:01 ET last night (after a preparatory cat nap, obviously) and spent a few frustrated minutes refreshing Netflix before realizing that Chelsea episodes don't go up until midnight PT on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Kind of a bummer, but the show goes great with breakfast too.

That's OK—Chelsea feels more like a weekly show with lucky extra doses than it does a daily, uh, nightly show. The closest comparison to the format is Real Time With Bill Maher. Handler opened the show with a tightly-scripted monologue on the importance of learning ("I don't want to be comfortable—I want to be uncomfortable, and I'm going to make a lot of other people uncomfortable")—then launched into a sketch on "Netflix college" and an interview with the U.S. secretary of education.

There's a major emphasis on self-improvement, and that's what gives the show its spark. In the show's opener, Handler jokingly tries to pass herself off as Oprah to a couple of foreigners. It's a gag, but there's something to the vibe behind it; the biggest difference between this show and Chelsea Lately is that Handler is turning her brutally honest gaze on herself, rather than Lindsay Lohan. And there's something fascinating about watching a star talk candidly about her imperfections, then devote her show to working on them.

That environment of truthfulness makes her guests open up more than they do on other couches. When you're watching Handler watch Pit Bull tear up over the teachers who made him feel valuable when he was a foster-care kid—as the Secretary of Education nods and looks on—you know you're watching something special. Then we got to listen in as Handler and Drew Barrymore drank rose and Barrymore got real about her divorce, saying of her PR statement: "I put the word 'failure' in there because [I felt like]...'I'm the biggest failure.'"

One more thing: Handler's dog wandered around in the background and was extremely well-behaved. I hope this continues.
