With her fresh perspective and hilarious commentary on the culture around us, Handler has redefined the talk show genre. What’s more, Chelsea Lately has set a new precedent in late-night TV with its writing staff made up of five female writers, which is unprecedented in a field that has traditionally been dominated by men.
But Handler’s talents don’t stop there. She is also a best-selling author, with three books that have made it to the top of the charts.
In March 2010, all three of her books held the top three spots on the Best Seller list. Her first book, My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands, debuted at number one on the Best Seller list in April 2008, and has been a bestseller for over a year.
Handler’s tireless work ethic and versatility are further evidenced by her successful 21-city comedy tour, “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang,” sponsored by Belvedere Vodka. The tour sold out immediately, prompting Live Nation to add 15 more shows.
Handler is known for her fearless honesty and self-deprecating humor, making her one of the most cutting-edge comedians in the country.
Handler got her start in stand-up comedy and television, and starred in Oxygen’s Girls Behaving Badly for all four seasons. She also starred on E!’s The Chelsea Handler Show.
