"  In a recent New York Times article about new Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon&amp;#039;s quest for younger viewership, author Bill Carter relegated Chelsea Handler to a parenthetical aside when listing Fallon&amp;#039;s competition in the demo, &amp;quot;(The only female host in late-night is Chelsea Handler, 38, on E!)&amp;quot; In response, Handler wrote an op-ed for the Huffington Post called &amp;quot;No One Puts Baby in Parentheses.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;I am always asked what it&amp;#039;s like to be the only female in a so-called &amp;#039;boys club.&amp;#039; Until now, I have dismissed the assumption that my experience in late night TV is somehow different or exceptional because of my gender. To me, it&amp;#039;s never been about being a woman in a man&amp;#039;s world; it&amp;#039;s been about delivering a consistently funny and entertaining show each night,&amp;quot; Chelsea wrote.  And while it shouldn&amp;#039;t be about gender, the omnipresent boys club and attitude of comedians like Adam Carolla brings the lack of women in late night into glaring focus time and time again. When Carolla was asked in a recent interview to name women he thought could host late-night shows, the only person he could list was Ellen DeGeneres. Handler took him to task for this when he appeared on her show.        &amp;quot;To me it&amp;#039;s not so much about women or men. It&amp;#039;s sort of a &amp;#039;Who do you wanna see at night?&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Carolla says in his &amp;quot;defense.&amp;quot; Well, Adam, here are nine women we would love to see on our TV&amp;#039;s at night.          Cecily Strong While her co-anchor at Saturday Night Live&amp;#039;s Weekend Update desk moved on to host Late Night with Seth Meyers, Cecily continues to deliver Update&amp;#039;s witty takes on the news with great comedic timing.         Lena Dunham She recently said she&amp;#039;s not sure if she&amp;#039;ll continue to act once Girls ends, so why not transition into a Bill Maher-style panel show host? And we have many more suggestions we&amp;#039;d love to discuss (like Meryl Streep taking over for Charlie Rose on PBS), Adam Carolla and network executives. Just say the word, and we&amp;#039;ll have our people call your people.  Follow REDBOOK on Twitter.    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
