About the Show

Chelsea Handler has one of the most exciting careers in entertainment with a resume that includes bestselling author, talk show host, comedian, and actress to name a few. Chelsea is a permanent fixture in pop culture as she continues to build a multiplatform media empire. In July 2007, Chelsea broke into the world of late-night talk shows with her E! Entertainment series, "Chelsea Lately," airing weeknights at 11:00 p.m. Consistently one of the network's highest-rated programs, "Chelsea Lately" offers a tongue-in-cheek look at entertainment news, celebrity truths and rumors that just won't die, along with other hot topics of the day. Bringing refreshing new energy to and redefining perceptions of the talk show, "Chelsea Lately" is an authentic and hilarious commentary on the celebrity culture around us. Both Handler and the show have also been recognized as pioneers in late night with the show boasting five female writers to account for half of its writing staff. This is unprecedented in the late night arena that has historically been dominated by male hosts and writers.

Capitalizing on the continued success of "Chelsea Lately", Chelsea Handler now brings audiences a new show, "After Lately", which premieres March 6th on E! The semi-scripted show will follow the outside lives of the original series' stars including Chelsea, Chuy Bravo, as well as those who write for and appear regularly on Chelsea's show. Made to feel like a true reality show, each episode is outlined (a la CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM) and draws upon the entirely ridiculous - yet absolutely real - stories, events and people encompassing the world of "Chelsea Lately". Going behind the camera on yet another TV project, Chelsea will also be an executive producer on a scripted series currently in development at NBC that will be based on her second bestselling book, Are You There, Vodka? It's Me Chelsea.

In November of last year, Grand Central Publishing signed Chelsea for her own imprint "Borderline Amazing/A Chelsea Handler Book". Chelsea is currently signed on to pen three books for the imprint, the first of which titled Lies Chelsea Told Me hits book shelves May 10th, 2011. The second title, still in its preliminary stages, will be written through the eyes of Chelsea's affable dog, Chunk. The third book is undecided at this time.
