Why? Why? Why?
she’s not remotely funny or interesting but good for her
not true! she’s hilarious!
and this is also true because wether someone is funny or not is totally objective and not subjective at all
how back handed of you!
SHE IS SO FUNNY!
screw you derby. chelsea is one step closer to world domination. get over your hating self.
best show on TV
I cant wait! Finally E! is renewing shows that are actually funny!
Oh, America…why are you so bad?
Ummm because it is hilarious! You are clearly not the target demo so don’t worry about it derby.
Never has so much fuss been made of so little substance.
Yay, love After Lately. We’re half way through season 1 in the UK, but they skipped the Guiliana/Heather’s vajayjay episode?
I am soooo excited! I love Chelsea and I love anything she does. I can’t wait for the second season!!
best thing to happen to me ever. chelsea = ?
Dido. she is epic.
Good. The show needs time to find its footing. It’s not there yet. There’s a tentative quality to it. Like everyone’s scared of Chelsea. They need to fuck with her more. Give her less content control.
I’ve said it before. This world would be in a WHOLE! Without the intelligence, wisdom, BEAUTY!, And comedic wit of people like CHELESA! And her vagabon crew! Not the lest of which is Sara Colonna! She should get her OWN! show!
the word you were looking for was ‘hole’
Chelsea is great, the talk show is great, but After Lately is total shit. Bad decision.
i second this. she is funny and so was this show, but i expected nothing less
What do you want then? Another Kardashian show?
She is not funny at all. why? why? why?
Can’t wait!
Not in the US they didn’t. The episode was hilarious. Youtube it!
This makes my day! Can’t wait!!
Yay!!! I love Chelsea. She is more entertaining than those whiny Kardashians.
Listen up – they have to keep Chelsea and her staff working and happy. But, to make this work, they should turn this show into a female version of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” … make the characters stronger and clear. Do some “writing” since it’s improv mostly w/ loose story lines. Hire some Curb writers and above all make Chelsea a unique, funny and driven character.
This show got a pickup in the first place BECAUSE of how Chelsea is. Herself. Changing it would be inauthentic. We can’t have two different versions of her (one on her talk show and one on AFTER LATELY). So glad it was picked up! The Reese Witherspoon episode was particularly hilarious!
I too was feeling trepidation about A.L, but it really is slyly funny. The writers are half-actors tis true – there’s still something funny about them ACTING like they aren’t. And the g-stars are clearly having a good time there. And Chuy is the same hapless & smart assistant here as he is on the Live show.
“After Lately” portrays a Bizarro World of “The Office”: Strong women, weak men, actually FUNNY situations.
Chelsea’s a mean “Michael Scott”, Sarah her ass-kissing “Dwight”, etc.
In real life, Chelsea’s just a mean-spirited as Seinfeld or Larry David-though hardly as funny.
“After Lately” proves one thing: Like Seinfeld and David, it takes a self-loathing, miserable, egocentric person to make a great TV sitcom.
Great news!!!! The show is fantastic, super funny. I love her and her morons
