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.
Recently named one of Glamour Magazine’s 2011 “Women of the Year”, Chelsea is a permanent fixture in pop culture as she continues to build a multi-platform 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 and is consistently one of the network’s highest-rated programs. 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”, Handler introduced audiences to her spinoff series “After Lately” last spring which garnered impressive ratings and an immediate cult following. “After Lately” returns to E! on November 27th for its second season and promises to be even more entertaining and unpredictable than the last. The semi-scripted series follows the outside lives of “Chelsea Lately” stars including Chelsea, Chuy Bravo, as well as the comedians and writers who appear regularly on her late night 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”. The show has also featured cameos by A-listers including Reese Witherspoon with more celebrity appearances to come in season two.
