Chelsea Handler is best known for her boozy, tell-it-like-it-is, #freethenipple comedy. It looks like Handler’s new show will mostly stay true to her original form —  this time around, Handler’s trading her booze for drugs. So, samesies, basically.

According to Vulture, Handler’s new Netflix show will be a docu-comedy series. You may remember that Handler previously had a show on E! that she wasn’t the biggest fan of. Vulture reports that at the Wednesday Forbes Women’s Summit, Handler said that she “could have gotten paid $10 million a year for the next five years” but she was dissatisfied.

“I thought, ‘this show isn’t as smart as me. I want to do a show that’s smarter than me,’” reports Vulture.

Handler’s hoping her new docu-comedy will be that smart show. “It’ll be like a younger, hipper, cooler 60 minutes… I want to immerse myself in things I know nothing about,” she told The Wrap.

So far, it looks like her show will, at the very least, be entertaining.

Handler’s new Netflix series will allow the comedian to focus on experiencing and reporting four specific experiences:

– “Chelsea Does Racism:” According to Vulture, Handler just returned from filming in Alabama. In this segment, Handler “told the story of a man who thought that the biggest misconception about the South was that slavery wasn’t all bad.” Charming.

– “Chelsea Does Silicon Valley:” Not a lot of information about this segment, except that Handler has already visited Twitter offices topless. Sounds about right.

– “Chelsea Does Marriage:” In this segment, Handler explores the topic of marriage now that’s she’s 40 and not married.

– “Chelsea Does Ayahuasca:” This is the segment that’s getting all the press. Ayahuasca is a psychoactive drink made from a South American vine and herbs. In this piece, Handler will visit Peru “and drink the traditional hallucinogenic brew with a shaman while on medical supervision,” reports Vulture. Anyone waiting to see Handler high will be sorely disappointed because she won’t be on camera during the ceremony. In addition to drinking ayahuasca, Handler also will try and report the effects of her brain on things like Xanax and psilocybin mushrooms.

The Instagram Video platform made Internet history this week, and not just because of a shirtless Ashton Kutcher (but, we’re not complaining about that part). Netflix made history, too. Twice. Looks like the Internet is here to stay.

Jobs, the forthcoming biopic (due in theaters August 16) about Steve Jobs, the late Apple co-founder, made Internet history as the first movie trailer to air exclusively on Instagram Video, the social medial platform for pictures and video clips.

“For the first-time ever, a movie studio has created and uploaded a trailer specifically for Instagram!” Open Road Films announced. “You’ve never seen an HD trailer on Instagram like this before.”

Instagram Video was added to the popular smart phone app on June 20^th, presumably to compete with Vine, the Twitter video app. But users haven’t had as much luck with Instagram Video as they have with Vine. Unlike Instagram’s main focus—well filtered photos—the video quality coming from most of the users’ videos looks raw, shaky, unedited. The professional movie trailer just underscores how bad the rest of the videos actually are. “[I]t’s clear that pretty much everyone is bad at Instagram Video,” reports Vanity Fair.

Still, releasing the Jobs trailer on Instagram shows where the audience is—and, not surprisingly, they’re on their phones, taking pics, or at least, looking at them, especially when a shirtless Kutcher is involved. Besides, we wouldn’t even have Instagram if it weren’t for Steve Jobs and his iPhone, right? The least we can do is watch the trailer…

And just days after the Instagram Video trailer aired, the Internet made history again when two Netflix-only series were nominated for Emmy’s. Both House of Cards and Arrested Development received 2013 Emmy nominations despite the fact that neither are viewable on network or cable channels, just the Internet. Yes indeed, the Internet is here for good! (Take that, 1981.) But, if you’re reading this, you already knew that.
