The Chelsea Handler Show

The series starred Chelsea Handler and featured skits that mocked the entertainment industry, spoofed celebrities, television, the elderly, and herself.

The cable channel ordered eight episodes of the half-hour project that features Handler, a Tonight Show correspondent and star of Oxygen's Girls Behaving Badly, in taped spoofs, film shorts and field remote pieces, all framed by stand-up segments of her performing before a studio audience.

Erika Gonzalez of Rocky Mountain News praised Handler's performance, stating, "some of her best bits come from her awkward interview segments.

She revealed a bit too much during a massage session with Gary Coleman and passed out while interviewing Mad TV's Michael McDonald.

"[3] Sun Sentinel comedy columnist Jeff Rusnak called the show "wickedly uninhibited", writing, "Better suited for HBO than basic cable, last week's episode included Handler baring a breast in one skit and later running over a stuffed dog and a baby doll during a driving competition with an octogenarian and a blind man.
