Shes our matron mother and the leading lady in late night comedy on E! TV with Chelsea Lately (a show we've watched obsessively since episode 1) and now her 20 something life stories are ready to go prime time!
Latenight queen Chelsea Handler is making a move in primetime with a comedy project based on her books, which, in a competitive situation, landed at NBC with a put pilot commitment. The project titled after one of Handler's books, Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, is described as an autobiographical multi-camera comedy based on Handler’s life in her twenties. It hails from Warner Bros. and Tom Werner's studio-based Werner Entertainment. Dharma & Greg co-creator Dottie Zicklin and Julie Larson, both with UTA, will write the adaptation.
The comedy will be centered on a twentysomething woman named Chelsea who won't have the same profession as comedian/author Handler but will carry a lot of the traits in her character as depicted in Handler's 3 best-selling autobiographical books: My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea and Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. The compilations of humorous essays about Handler's everyday life, family, friends and romantic/sexual relationships will also be used as source material for stories in the TV project. - Deadline.com
