Chelsea Handler is a comedian, television host, and seven-time New York Times best-selling author whose sharp wit and fearless candor have made her one of entertainment’s most celebrated voices. She first broke ground with her seven-year run as host of E!’s top-rated Chelsea Lately, at the time the only female late-night talk show host on air. She went on to create the Netflix documentary series Chelsea Does and the talk show Chelsea.
Her stand-up career has been equally groundbreaking: her HBO Max special Evolution earned a GRAMMY nomination, and her Vaccinated and Horny Tour brought her to over 90 cities and won “The Comedy Act of 2021” at the People’s Choice Awards. Her latest Netflix special The Feeling premiered in March 2025 to critical acclaim, following her three-year streak hosting the Critics’ Choice Awards. Handler also hosts the hit iHeart Radio podcast Dear Chelsea and recently completed her European tour An Abroad Broad. She currently headlines her Las Vegas residency Chelsea at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan, making history as the venue’s first female comedian to hold a residency.
