Although she regularly appears on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, has co-hosted The View, was profiled on Nightline, and has been featured on Today, LIVE with Regis and Kelly and Late Night with David Letterman, Chelsea is best known for her own E! Entertainment show, Chelsea Lately, which airs weeknights at 11:00pm.

Bringing refreshing new energy to the late night arena, Chelsea Lately is an authentic and hilarious commentary on the celebrity culture around us.
Chelsea is also a three-time published author and her latest book Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang hit stores this past March.
