TV talk show host Chelsea Handler has credited her arrest for drink-driving back in the 1990s with giving her the motivation to pursue a career in comedy.
The 39 year old has made a name for herself as a stand-up comedienne, actress and host of her own chat series, Chelsea Lately, but she believes none of her success would have been possible were it not for an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in Los Angeles in 1996.
