After moving from her hometown in New Jersey to Los Angeles in pursuit of a career in acting, Chelsea opted for stand-up comedy at age twenty one. Her outgoing personality and strong desire to find comedy in any situation earned Handler her own late night talk show in 2007 called Chelsea Lately which continues to air nightly on E! Entertainment Television. In 2011 a second spin-off series called After Lately premiered on E! Network; the show follows the writers, crew, and cast members of Chelsea Lately, giving viewers a behind the scenes look at how the staff of comedians work together to produce the late night talk show. Several A-List celebrities have participated in the mockumentary, including Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Tori Spelling, Jane Fonda, Johnny Knoxville, and many others.
