It was our hope that the biggest and brightest names in comedy would be coming out to do big fundraiser in the fight against COVID-19. Indeed, they have and continued to do so.

The latest star-studded comedy fundraiser is Americares’ COVID Is No Joke that will air LIVE on covidisnojoke.org and Americares YouTube channel at 5PM PT/8PM ET on Fri. May 1st.

COVID Is No Joke will be a jam-packed hour of a comedy variety live-stream spanning stand-up, stories, sketches, etc. from the likes of:

Elizabeth Banks, Ike Barinholtz, Jack Black and Tenacious D, Wayne Brady, D’Arcy Carden, Kristin Chenoweth, Tom Cotter, Mackenzie Davis, Mark Duplass, Will Ferrell, Gal Gadot, Kyle Gass, Linda Hamilton, Chelsea Handler, Mindy Kaling, Kerri Louise, Jonathan Mangum, Patton Oswalt, Natalia Reyes, Adam Scott, Finn Straley, Paige Weldon, Jenny Yang and more with actor/director/producer and Americares own Tony Goldwyn set to host.

That line-up really spans so many different corners of comedy and even includes names of comedians that we really dig that you ought to know going forward.

The funds raised will go to providing essential equipment and support (including mental health) for frontline health workers here in the U.S. and across the globe. $100K worth of donations has already been guaranteed FYI.

You can support Americares now or during the event by making a donation on americares.org or by texting “JOKE” to 20222 to make a $25 donation.

Trailer for “Chelsea” on Netflix Shows That Chelsea Handler Will Be Venturing Outside of a Studio a Lot

May 9, 2016
Uncategorized
chelsea handler, netflix, trailer

There’s a lot of anticipation over Chelsea Handler’s new show Chelsea. It’s Netflix first talk show as well as their first show that will be releasing episodes three times a week as opposed to their traditional all-episodes-streaming model. Also, there will be no commercial breaks, which isn’t unprecedented, but further prompts a departure from the traditional late night talk show format.

More intriguing than all of that, it appears from the trailer that Handler will be venturing from behind a desk quite a bit for a ton of remote segments, not unlike what she did with those Chelsea Does specials. Given the ‘clip-focused’ direction of late night these days, that’s probably a smart move. 

You won’t have to wonder what Chelsea was up to for all this time for much longer. Chelsea starts streaming this Wednesday on Netflix. 

Chelsea Handler’s Announces New Netflix Talk Show via a Letter to Herself

March 16, 2016
Uncategorized
chelsea handler, netflix, talk show

Chelsea Handler is about to simultaneously break new ground and make a comeback. Following her four topical Chelsea Does specials on Netflix, she’s going to premiere a new talk show on Netflix on May 11th that that will run on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. 

So, for once, you won’t be all to stream the episodes in one go.

She made the announcement in a quasi-press release that’s in the form of a bullet-pointed letter to herself. 

If you still have more questions about the series (i.e. When will the episodes start streaming?, What’s the name of the show?, Is there anything you couldn’t get away with at E! that you’re going to try to get away with at Netflix?), Chelsea will be answering questions via Twitter tomorrow at 9AM PST.

E!’s Next Comedy Talk Show To Be Hosted by Grace Helbig

January 5, 2015

chelsea handler, e!, grace helbig, talk show

(via Deadline)

Chelsea Handler and Chelsea Lately have left E!, but, apparently, E! is not done with talk shows hosted by comedians. They have tapped Internet sensation Grace Helbig to host her own traditional format talk show though she’ll be ditching the traditional sound stage for real world locations.

Maybe it’ll be a more upbeat, positive PG-13 version of Insomniac with Dave Attell with celebrity guests? This Daily Grace talk show will air in primetime, for now, rather than go against the boys club in late night or tangle with daytime, which is almost entirely filled by female hosts.

With that all being said, it’s very intriguing to see that E!’s next talk show will be hosted by someone that is arguably the antithesis, tone-wise, of Handler.

A Ton of Celebrities and Comedians Sing a Farewell to Chelsea Handler and Chelsea Lately

chelsea handler, chelsea lately, e!, farewell, natasha leggero, tj miller

Last night was the very last episode in Chelsea Handler’s 7 year run at E! as the titular host of Chelsea Lately. To mark the occasion, she got 50 Cent, Miley Cyrus, Tim Gunn, Gwen Stefani, Dave Grohl, Melissa McCarthy, Sandra Bullock, Gerard Butler, Fergie, Jennifer Aniston, Avril Lavigne and so many other A-listers as well as so many of the comedians who have been/worked on the show including Fortune Feimster, Kurt Braunohler, Sarah Colonna, Kevin Nealon, Ian Karmel, Claire Titleman, Matt Braunger, Ron Funches, and way more to do a big farewell musical number. 

It’s a touching sentiment that all these people came together and sang a song all about Chelsea Handler, but we would like to point out that around 1:27, TJ Miller is wearing the best suit ever and around 2:15, Natasha Leggero might be holding the best portrait that’s ever been held up during a farewell song.

IFC Developing ‘Rabbit Hole’ From Jamie Denbo and Kerri Kenney

(via Deadline)

IFC’s latest addition to their development slate is a project from Chelsea Handler’s Borderline Amazing Productions, created and written by Jamie Denbo and Kerri Kenney called Rabbit Hole. 

While the Bunny Ranch is known as the most famous brothel in Nevada, Rabbit Hole would follow the second most famous brothel. What that in mind, this could be like Reno 911 is to Cops, but to Cathouse.

TJ Miller Guest Hosts Chelsea Lately

If you’ve wondered what TJ Miller hosting a late night talk show sans a blue demon costume would be like, wonder no more. Miller filled in for Chelsea Handler on Chelsea Lately last night and definitely brought his wonderfully absurd comedic sensibilities with him.

Watch him open the show and interview Whiz Khalifa and make a case for being a host of a certain 11:30PM spot that will open up next year at Comedy Central should TJ be up for such a thing.

Chelsea Handler To Not Renew Contract at E!

Chelsea Handler To Not Renew Contract at E!

Chelsea Lately has had many a great comedian on, either as writer or panelist, including Greg Proops, Matt Braunger, TJ Miller, Fortune Fiemster, Jen Kirkman, Kurt Braunohler, Ryan Stout, and way more over the last several years during Chelsea Handler’s stint at E!.

However, Handler is looking to move her show elsewhere once her contract is up at E! around the end of this year, which might offer an expanded format (i.e. radio, etc.). Wherever she ends up moving, it will be a big move, especially as the only female late night host.

Jen Kirkman To Star In & Create FXx Comedy

Jen Kirkman To Star In & Create FXx Comedy

FX/FXx has found their next comedian that they want to develop a series around thankfully in Jen Kirkman. Much along the way Legit and Louie are focused on the comedy of Jim Jefferies and Louis C.K., ‘Jen’ will be seemingly very much centered on Jen Kirkman’s stand up.

It’s also good to see that FXx is keeping their development slate robost and moving. If anything, this should emphatically prove that Jen Kirkman, as her podcast suggests, is indeed fun.
