Talk show host Chelsea Handler isn’t known for being especially soft on her guests; the comedienne tends to dig right into the juicy stuff during interviews and doesn’t care much for glossing over anything. When you sit down with her, you expect to have some barbs fly your way.

But in a recent appearance on her show “Chelsea Lately”, Piers Morgan traded insults with his host until it became uncomfortable for the audience, and some are wondering if the exchange was really meant to be hostile or if the two were just being facetious. Or, perhaps, flirtatious?

“You’ve either had plastic surgery or a makeover, because you look really hot today,” Morgan said.

“Oh, you’re so annoying. You’re so obnoxious — you wonder why everybody hates you! I specifically covered up so you couldn’t look at me and undress me with your molester eyes,” Handler fired back.

So far, neither have commented on the strange back-and-forth, but they do have a history of being catty with one another.
