Chelsea Information

Chelsea is an American web television late-night talk show hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler. The show debuted on May 11, 2016 and streams Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday each week worldwide. There will be 90 episodes of the talk show per year and each episode will be 30 minutes. The show tapes Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week that it airs. It is Netflix's first talk show. The show covers "real topics" with a sense of humor like Chelsea Does. She will have celebrities on the show. Her comedic partner Chuy will not be a part of the series. The show will have a global outlook as Handler said, "Netflix makes me able to do stories that are global, and it makes me able to pay attention to the stuff that does interest me in a way that will be able to be disseminated into all these different countries."

Background

Chelsea is part of Handler's deal with Netflix that she made in July which included a stand-up special titled Uganda Be Kidding Me Live and a four-part docu-comedy special called Chelsea Does. The theme song was written by electro pop artist Memoryy

On March 16, 2016, Handler announced on Twitter that each episode would be released at 12:01 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time (3:01 a.m. U.S. Eastern and 8:01 a.m. UTC) on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, three times a week, including holiday periods where episodes would be "banked" for release or reduced to airing two per week. On that same day, Handler submitted a hand-written memo to herself concerning the new show and the memo said "PREMIERES MAY 11TH". She announced that she and Netflix would unveil the name of the show on her Twitter chat.

Regarding the title of the show, Handler said that "We thought long and hard about the title for my ....Netflix show, and there was a whole team at Netflix who worked on it; we hired a digital department and some small children who work in various countries to help roll this show out, and after two to three long hours, we came up with the name "?Chelsea. It is named after herself.

The show will not be live but will be filmed in front of a live audience. Handler explained why: "It has to be fed into 190 countries, which prohibits us from going live on Netflix, so we"?re going to tape and then they will stream and feed it into every other country and territory that they"?re in and then it will come on about probably 12 hours after we tape it."

She expressed that she wants this show to be different from the typical late-night format saying, "I don"?t want it to be like a talk show every night where I come out singing and dancing every night."
