Funny girl Chelsea Handler, host of E!‘s late night talk show Chelsea Lately, has signed on to star in a new half-hour comedy series for the network.

Chelsea is on a roll, y’all!

After Lately, which is said to be similar to HBO‘s The Larry Sanders Show, will be focused on the backstage antics at Chelsea Lately. The show will be semi-improvised but based on story outlines, much like HBO‘s Curb Your Enthusiasm.

50 Cent & Chelsea Handler NOT Dating YET!

As of now, 8 episodes of the show have been ordered. No premiere date has been set, but production is set to begin in a few weeks.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to come up with some backstage nonsense with Chelsea in the mix!
