Jimmy Fallon's Amazing Martini Race

Normally I don't watch the late shows, or late late shows, but I saw that Chelsea Handler was going to be on Jimmy Fallon's so I DVR-ed it. This morning while getting myself ready, I opted to fast forward to her interview (which was hysterical). After she finished promoting her new book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, Jimmy asked if she would participate in a martini race. The race was too good to not share with you all:



Once Jimmy went down I busted out laughing. I especially loved the hope that through the magic of editing the home audience would have been spared some awkwardness and blood.

In my world, this is considered a waste! Look at all the splash out
