Chelsea Handler wants to talk about that supposed sex tape, people.

On Wednesday, RadarOnline claimed to have gotten its hands on a decade-old tape featuring the host of Chelsea Lately engaging in both a sexual act and her comedy act. And Chelsea had to set the record straight: this is a comedy tape, as she is a teller of jokes.

"Thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff," she cracked on last night's show. "It was made as a joke. I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club because I'm a comedian."

Less funny, she also claimed someone called her attorney a few months ago offering up the tape to her—for $1 million.

"And you know what I said?" said Chelsea. "I'm not worth it."

Now that's funny.
