Oh, hello! Everything you need to know about last month’s episodes of Chelsea is all here. You’re welcome.

New month, new Chelseas!

August 4th: Let’s Keep Moving Forward

Topics: Women in entertainment and positive role models, congress, and immigration.

Guests: Kate Beckinsale, Jill Soloway, Niecy Nash, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Rep. Ted Lieu, Maz Jobrani

Shut the front door! Sarah Huckabee Sanders is on the show. I love you, Fortune Feimster.

All tarted up and no place to go.

First to hit the couch are Kate Beckinsale, Niecy Nash, and Jill Soloway (Transparent ). The ladies talk about progress in the industry—not just for women, but for people of color, the trans community, everyone. Doors are opening and it’s a new positive era. They also chat about image and self-esteem.

Next up are Congressman Ted Lieu and Congressman Eric Swalwell. They chat about North Korea, immigration, and the state of government. Call your congressperson today and let them know how you feel! Chelsea includes a handy segment after this interview showing you how.

Those are some mighty fine socks, sir.

Maz Jobrani, star of Netflix Original special Immigrant, and they talk about his personal immigration story.


August 11th: Dear India

Focus: Chelsea travels to India.

It’s a dinner party! Chelsea sits down with a married couple, a friend, and a comedy team. It isn’t long before they are all ribbing each other. They discuss travel and the similarities between India and America.

The episode moves from the dinner party to different segments throughout the episode.

-Chelsea sits down with Vikas Khanna, Michelin-star chef, and they dish about Indian food.

Mmm. Chai.

They visit one of the most important markets in Mumbai.

-Chelsea visits the Bankhandi Mahadev Ashram religious center in Old Delhi.

This guy lived for 2 years on $20. That’s some thrifty shopping.

-Chelsea sits down with actress and activist Mallika Sherawat.

India is ranked as one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women.

-Chelsea and Mallika meet with Shruti Kapoor, founder of Sayfty. It’s an organization that works with young women and girls to teach them to raise their voices against all types of violence.

These guys rule.

-Chelsea sits down with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

In the interest of research, I put my laptop on the porch and tried all of these steps in my front yard. My neighbors were not amused.

-Chelsea talks marriage with Jyoti Vadehra and attends a traditional wedding.

I’m pretty sure Chelsea is getting high.

That’s ok, Chelsea. We can’t all like everything.

-Chelsea visits a festival celebrating Saraswati, the goddess of learning.
