  • Was not the only host reduced to tears, with Seth Meyers also emotional

A devastated Chelsea Handler broke down crying on her Netflix talk show on Wednesday night while discussing Hillary Clinton's staggering loss to Donald Trump.

The comedian, who has been an incredibly vocal hater of Trump for the entire Presidential race, was reduced to tears as she explained how she planned to leave the country after the billionaire businessman was voted in.

'I want to move to Spain. I really, really want to move to Spain right now. Everyone in my office is like, ''you have a responsibility, you have a voice and you need to use it and you have to be here'',' Handler said. 

Overcome with emotion: Chelsea Handler cried on her talk show on Wednesday night while discussing Hillary Clinton's shock loss to Donald Trump 

'The message I want to get out is not to give up': Handler explained that she planned to leave the country before she was convinced not to give up

The Chelsea host had Senator Barbara Boxer on the show to help make sense of the results.

Handler explained that she decided that, since Clinton made it through her concession speech without crying, she could try to do her show without crying as well.

Only it was only a few minutes before the tears started coming.

'Sorry, I hate f—ing crying on camera,' an emotional Handler.

She then went on to give an important message aimed at women. 

'I know as a woman, it feels so sexist (that Trump won). I guess the message I went to get out is not to give up. Because this is so important. It's easy to throw in the towel,' she said.

Handler also said that she believed the language that Trump used during his candidacy should have disqualified him from running for president.

She also posted a separate video to her Instagram account, reiterating her belief that there is still a fight to be fought. 

She was not the only talk show host to be overcome with emotion on Wednesday night, with Seth Meyers also moved to tears throughout his opening monologue.

Meyers, who recently became a father, said at the top of the show: 'I do really feel for the parents who had to explain this to their kids this morning. Especially parents with daughters because a lot of them like me probably thought Hillary would be our first woman president.'

He went on to say:  'But she won't be. But that does mean - that does mean that someone's daughter is out there right now who will one day have that title. Maybe you're a woman who is currently a senator. Maybe you're still in college.'

One day: Seth Meyers said that he hopes his mother, whose name is Hillary, will live to see this country elect a female president

Meyers then inserted a bit of humor, saying: 'Hopefully, you're not a toddler but who knows with the way things went last night, who knows?' 

Soon after that is when Meyers first began to tear up, while speaking about his own mother, whose name is also Hillary.

'I hope I live to see your inauguration,' Meyers said to the potential first female president. 

'And I hope my mom does too. She was really excited yesterday and I was really sad for her.'

Out of step: California-based Jimmy Kimmel (left) and Englishman James Corden (right) are obviously not seeing America the same way as Trump supporters in the Midwest

He went on to say: 'But good news to our first woman president whoever you are, where ever you are, you may have been rooting for Hillary but now you can still be the first woman president and first is so much better than second. 

Jimmy Kimmel took viewers through the stages of grief, from denial: 'No, the host of the Celebrity Apprentice is not our president, to and bargaining: 'Maybe he'll only build the wall waist-high, to keep short people out', and, finally, acceptance: 'No matter how you feel about it, Donald Trump is the president of the United States. Of America. So thank God we legalized marijuana yesterday.'

Kimmel's show is filmed in Los Angeles and California voted to legalize recreational marijuana.

Tonight host Jimmy Fallon saw the election result as comedy gold.

'Republicans hope he'll keep his promise to build the wall, and Democrats hope he'll keep his promise not to accept the election results,' he joked. 

Fallon also quipped about Trump not having been able to win without the 'the love of his life, his rock, his better half...FBI Director James Comey.'

Late Late Show' host James Corden, who moved to America from England - the land of Brexit - two years ago, was determined to be upbeat.

He told his audience: 'This country isn't about one election result. This country is about the people who live here. It's you. It's how you treat one another, it's the tone you set that will define who we are and reaffirm that America is great.'
