"Korea's Ricky Martin, Psy!" Singer Psy's "Gangnam Style" was performed on a widely known TV show "Chelsea Lately" hosted by comedienne Chelsea Handler.

On Tuesday (August 21st), Chelsea Handler introduced Psy and his song "Gangnam Style" at the opening of her talk show "Chelsea Lately."

Chelsea Handler explained, "The Korean singer Psy's music video is receiving a record high number of views on YouTube." She also referred to Psy as "Korea's Ricky Martin as well as a sex symbol" during his introduction and drew attention.

When the music video of "Gangnam Style" was shown on the screen, crew members went up to the stage to energetically do the horse riding dance. Chelsea Handler even yelled out, "Oppa Gangnam Style!" while the staff in matching uniforms happily danced to the choreography of the song.

Various global stars like Justin Bieber, Jennifer Aniston, Miranda Kerr, Kate Bosworth and countless more have appeared on "Chelsea Lately" and has been recognized as one of the best shows. Chelsea Handler is a famous comedian and was chosen as one of the "2012 TIME 100: The Most Influential People in the World" in TIME magazine.

Meanwhile, the music video for Psy's "Gangnam Style" has received over 56 million views on YouTube and continues to be a huge hit worldwide. Psy also made an appearance on VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" on Thursday (August 23) and drew attention.

The article forgot to mention the following:
* The crew are also comedians. They are part of the show's round table discussions and writer pool.
* No Chelsea Lately article is complete without a mention of Handler's personal assistant Chuy Bravo, who is cute as a bear button.
* Chelsea Handler is setting her eyes on him: "Here is my future husband getting his Asian freak on while singing the tender love song that I've chosen to play during the father-daughter dance on our nuptial!"

Same, but the attention he's getting from all sorts of American news is mind blowing.

"She also referred to Psy as "Korea's Ricky Martin as well as a sex symbol" during his introduction and drew attention."

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if the American media is laughing with him or at him.

The whole show probably saw a part of the MV and that was as far as they know.

They probably don't care if the MV is making fun of rich people or an exaggeration of luxurious life.
They just care that it's catchy and fun to laugh at.

I don't get the Ricky martin comment, either she's throwing shade at Ricky being a joke or she means PSY is a sex icon, which in both ways is dumb. I guess she could mean both fun songs but they're really nothing alike at all.

Also I love Ricky Martin and Enrique tbh.

I hope "Right Now" goes viral after this. imo it's both a better song/MV than "Gangnam Style".

Last night my college (here in the US) had its welcome-back dance and they played Gangnam Style. I was genuinely surprised and excited that they were playing it. Mind you, I go to a very white, lack-o-diversity kind of university, and I expected people to stop dancing and look around in confusing for not knowing or understanding the song, but everyone seemed to like it-they all jumped around and danced to it. It made me really happy tbh.

Not a fan of Chelsea Handler (she was okay during 'Girls Behaving Badly').
But I do shamelessly enjoy her books.

it's utterly mindblowing how much traction this song is getting from the west. like, i went to a party with people that are the farthest away from listening to kpop as you can imagine and i went to the bathroom and come back to them doing the horse dance.

and they saw me and were like, heyyy you like kpop right? have you heard gangnam style???

strangest feeling ever.

no offense but idk why Gangnam style and the horse dance become so big.
I mean I like Psy and all but seriously I have no idea what's so enchanting about the horse dance.
is it because I'm an asian?

Honestly, I don't even know. This is the first K-Pop song my boyfriend, my friends and his friends have liked.. and to be honest, I think love is a better word. They looked him up, looked up remixes.. they can't get enough and I don't know why.

(not that I don't like the song, because I love it.. it is really out of the blue though)

Honestly, I don't think it is because he is viewed as a William Hung. It's a catchy dance track that appeals to a lot of demographics, and U.S. music companies are always looking to build on/license something that is already popular on its own, even if it will only have short term popularity. I think they see Psy as more of a Weird Al Yankovic, not knowing his other songs.
