Chelsea Handler Joins NBC Pilot Based on...Chelsea Handler

Late-night funny girl
Chelsea Handler is making the jump from talk show to sitcom. The comedian has joined the NBC pilot based on her autobiography,
E! Online reports.
But don't expect Handler to relive her younger years herself. She'll play her own big sister in show, which is based on Handler's book 'Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea.'
Former 'That '70s Show' star Laura Prepon will star in the pilot as Chelsea, and the actress is hopeful the network will order the series.
"We start in a couple weeks," Prepon said. "I hope NBC gets behind it. There's a lot of buzz. It's different and edgy."
We'd expect nothing less from Handler, the woman behind E!'s 'Chelsea Lately' talk show, known for its late-night shenanigans.
Prepon adds that it's perfect to cast Handler as her big sis on the show.
"I'm from Jersey," Prepon said. "Chelsea and I are similar, so it's perfect we play sisters. It's funny, because her vodka is my favorite vodka, too. We both drink the same thing!"

LOL that's exactly what I was going to post. Glad to see that I'm not the only person that thinks she's a skank.
You're being far too kind. She is a talentless pig.
What a waste..No talent skank

Absolutely can't wait to see this show. Finally a funny woman, who I watch every night on what sounds like a clever show. NBC has had some of the worst shows ever and I hardly ever watch that channel anymore.
LOOOOOOOVE CHELSEY HANDLER....

If NBC shows this show I will not watch NBC that entire night. Chelsea is not funny and does not deserve a show on any channel.

I'm sure you won't be missed.
Chelsea handler is just another liberal with a welfare agenda. The networks are in bed with the Democrats and the Democrats are in bed with the devil.

You're an idiot! You make Republicans look stupid.
how do you know... i guess you wee hiding in the closet.. and saw it all....idiot
What does this have to do with politics and politicians? It's surprising the low level of thought in this country.
What does her being a Democrat have to do with anything? She's getting her own show because obviously some people think she is funny, even if you don't!

Can't stand her, wouldn't spit on her if she were on fire.

I'm not going to spew hatred on here like some, but I will respectfully say that I don't find her funny at all.

Get them both in a bikini as soon as you can and as often as you can. Otherwise I give it no chance.
