Chelsea Handler to Lead Women's March in Park City, Utah

Irreverent late-night host Chelsea Handler has been tapped to lead the January 21 women's march being held in Park City, Utah's main thoroughfare, right in the middle of the famed Sundance Film Festival.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Handler will anchor the march, which is one of more than 200 similar marches planned in all 50 states and 20 countries for the inauguration of Donald Trump. The D.C. march is expected to draw 200,000 participants.

Handler, whose Netflix series "Chelsea Does" was featured at last year's Sundance festival, will also serve as host for the post-march rally.

"Sundance has always been a platform for change, not only for filmmakers and filmmaking but also for big ideas for the future," Handler said. "If there's anything I learned in the last year, it's that we need to be louder and stronger than ever about what we believe in, so I joined some incredible women from around the country to bring our voices together in the streets of Park City. The Women's March on Main will be an opportunity for the creative community and those in Utah to stand beside those in D.C."

Vogue said that Handler has been a vocal opponent of Trump, becoming emotional while discussing Hillary Clinton's loss.

"Like a lot of people in this country, I'm sad, I'm disappointed, and I'm confused. But if Hillary can make it through a concession speech, then I can make it through a stupid television show," said Handler at the time.

The Salt Lake Tribute notes that the event is not affiliated with the Sundance Institute, which organizes the Sundance Film Festival. Institute spokespeople have said they will help facilitate anyone organizing a demonstration, whatever their political persuasion. The Sundance Film Festival, which is not sponsoring the event, will take place January 19-29.
