For those who've followed Chelsea Handler's television career, her conversation with Piers Morgan -- scheduled to air Tuesday on his CNN show -- is worth noting.

Morgan, whose favorite topic I've come to realize is love, asked Handler if she had ever been in love -- which led to what could've been an awkward moment, considering Handler's ex-boyfriend and former boss, Ted Harbert, is one of Morgan's at NBC. (Morgan is a judge on "America's Got Talent," for those who have lost track.)

Handler defended her relationship with Harbert. "I don't think it really matters if you're in love with somebody and I was," Handler said. “It had nothing to do with him being my boss -- it's just how we came together."

She added: "I encourage sleeping around with people you work with. It makes things fun."

Handler and Harbert split early last year; Herbert was named chairman of NBC Broadcasting after Comcast took control of NBCU last fall.
