And if Piers Morgan was looking for a friend in Chelsea Handler, he certainly chose the wrong late night TV host.
Handler could barely contain her disdain for the CNN host when he appeared on her show on Wednesday.
Straight from the outset, the tension between the pair was strikingly evident, with Handler snapping at the former newspaper editor: “What are you looking at?”
And from there, things went downhill fast as the pair traded insults.
