The two seem downright inseparable, and there she is again—Maria Sharapova sidling up to Chelsea Handler for a good laugh. It's all to benefit, well, Handler. Her new Netflix talk show, aptly titled “Chelsea” and billed as a global takeover of sorts, will premiere on Wednesday and run Wednesday through Friday each week.

Since testing positive for meldonium and being removed from competitive play, Sharapova has gone on spring break in Mexico alongside Handler, who returned the favor—in her own way—by doing one of the things she does best. The comedian posed nude on Instagram as a birthday tribute to her friend.

Sharapova isn't the only notable who appears in the new “Chelsea” clip. A matador, a family of polygamists and a pug also play prominent roles, so the 6'2" tennis player better be memorable if she wants to (literally) stand out in this comedic crowd.
