Funny lady Chelsea Handler isn't just a comedienne, best-selling author and talk show host - she's also a Savvy Auntie.

Handler's five-year-old niece, Charley, has made quite a few appearances on Aunt Chelsea's late night talk show, Chelsea Lately. Charley's most recent appearance involved not only her aunt, but also her uncle, Roy Handler, who is a chef.

The three appeared on the show together to hilariously whip up some cupcakes, Charley's food of choice.

Handler has spoken and written extensively about Charley and her experiences with aunthood. In her best-selling 2008 book, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," Handler wrote of her efforts to always be the "favorite aunt."

"I needed some one-on-one time with my niece to ensure that my sister Sidney did not secure the favorite aunt position. All my brothers and sisters live in New Jersey and I live in Los Angeles, so I constantly have to fly from coast to coast in order to make my presence known to my nieces and nephews."

Judging by her most recent Chelsea Lately appearance, however, Charley knows how to maintain diplomacy between her aunts and uncles. In the segment, Aunt Chelsea asks, "...who taught you how to be on a television show?"

Pointing to both her aunt and uncle, Charley replies, "You AND you!"

Savvy Aunt Chelsea, meet Savvy Niece Charley!
