Chelsea Handler, the hilarious host of E!’s “Chelsea Lately” appeared on Jay Leno Wednesday night and revealed her December 2009 Playboy cover shot in a tiny gold bikini.

Handler won’t appear naked in the magazine, but on a side note, she’s one of the few female comedians who can look so damn sexy in a skimpy gold bikini, while still poking fun at herself and putting a smile on our faces.

Inside the magazine readers will also be able to see Chelsea in an apron and mini dress, while preparing a Christmas meal soaked in vodka. [PopCrunch]
