Handler: 'Dad will love Playboy photos'

Comedian Chelsea Handler has joked that her father will probably "love" her pictures for Playboy.

The Chelsea Lately host saw the yuletide-themed cover for the men's magazine's December issue for the first time on last night's episode of The Jay Leno Show, according to Us Weekly.

The 34-year-old would not divulge if she bared all for the accompanying photo spread, saying: "I'm not naked on the cover. My dad is probably gonna love it. Because he thinks I'm very sexual."

Handler, who authored bestselling book Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, also explained to Leno how she got in shape for the photoshoot.

She added: "I quit drinking for like a day and a half. And I worked out - but I always work out. So it wasn't anything major."
