History

Handler was approached to host her own late night talk show, but stated she was skeptical of the idea of her own show.[5] Chelsea Lately premiered on July 17, 2007 at 11:30 p.m.

Chelsea Lately has been renewed through 2014.

Episode format

Chelsea Lately is presented in a half-hour format, and is broadcast Monday through Friday at 11:00 p.m ET/PT, although the Friday show is frequently a re-run. Chelsea Lately opens cold and Handler performs a short stand-up monologue. The routine is usually focused on a topic from pop culture or current events, and may include a video clip or other visual aid. Over the opening credits, the announcer presents the topics of discussion, as well as the show's guest.

After the open, Handler will introduce the round table panel of three guests consisting of some combination of comedians, actors, or staff members. She lastly introduces the show regular, her diminutive assistant Chuy Bravo (born Jesus Melgoza)[6] who sits in his own chair near the edge of the studio's stage. Handler then discusses the goings on in pop culture with the round table members, occasionally including Chuy whose comments are always one-liner jokes. After the round table ends, if there is a sketch in the episode, it plays next. Then, after returning from a commercial break, Handler interviews a celebrity guest (or guests) for about six minutes each show. The show then closes with either another very short monologue (essentially Handler delivering a one-liner) or with a small segment like "Fat Baby" with pictures shown for comedic value. Handler and her sidekick Chuy then usually interact with the audience as the closing credits and music plays.

Handler's assistant, Chuy Bravo, along with sitting across from the round table, often participates alongside Handler in video segments for the show.

There have been occasional in-set performances and animals have been brought in on set.

Round table regulars include:

Ratings

As of 2010, Chelsea Lately averaged 900,000 viewers per episode[7] and attracts more women aged 18 to 34 than Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Last Call with Carson Daly.[8]

As of October 2011, the highest-rated episode of Chelsea Lately garnered 1.8 million viewers: this was the October 10, 2011 episode hosted by Ross Mathews featuring Kendra and Hank Baskett. [9]

Specials and spin-offs

After Lately

After Lately is a reality show that purports to show the behind-the-scenes goings on of Chelsea Handler's late Night talk show, Chelsea Lately. It is in fact a semi-scripted parody of a reality show (in the vein of shows such as The Larry Sanders Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm) in which the various cast members, writers, crew, and even 'hangers-on' of Chelsea Lately are shown bickering and arguing over mostly trivial and petty matters, and competing for show air time and personal approval from Chelsea. Handler herself usually appears in very few scenes of the program and is always portrayed as having open and utter disdain for everyone beneath her. The series premiered on March 6, 2011 and consisted of eight episodes.[10] After Lately was renewed for a second season on May 5, 2011.[11]

Comedians of Chelsea Lately

A special titled Comedians of Chelsea Lately premiered on August 14, 2009 and lasted four weeks. The special consisted of Chelsea Lately round-table regulars such as Loni Love, Jo Koy and among others performing their comedy stand up routines. The stand up routines lasted for about 6 to 9 minutes in length.The first airing of the special had round-table regulars Guy Branum, Sarah Colonna and Chris Franjola performing.

Chelsea Lately Bloopers

A Chelsea Lately special entitled Chelsea Lately Bloopers aired on Tuesday December 22, 2009. It featured new bloopers, deleted scenes and outtakes from the round table and guest interviews.

Controversy

During the June 20, 2011 episode, while discussing Amy Winehouse's poorly received performance at a concert in Belgrade, Handler read a statement by Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Šutanovac calling Winehouse's performance a "shame and a disappointment". Handler then stated, "Well, so is your country".[12] The comment has since drawn criticism, with requests for Handler to apologize for the comment. A Facebook page and change.org petition have also been created calling for a boycott of Handler and E! until a public apology is given. Handler has yet to comment on the matter.[12] On June 25, 2011, Serbian Ambassador to United States, Vladimir Petrović, sent a letter to Bonnie Hammer, president of NBCUniversal Cable (which oversees the E! network), describing Handler's act as "inappropriate, distasteful, and just plain bad humor".[13]

International broadcasts

In the UK, the local version of E!, different than the one in rest of Europe, shows Chelsea Lately on a daily basis. In difference to the European version this feed also includes same day productions The Soup and the full 30 minute version E! News which are not on elsewhere in Europe.

Chelsea Lately is also broadcast daily on the E! Network in Australia, and New Zealand. Chelsea Lately was broadcast in Canada on E! Entertainment System through September 2009 and beginning in November 2010, on CTVglobemedia's Star! network.
