Joan Rivers may be gone but there
still is Chelsea who will be moving her brand of sarcasm over to Netflex. They
were and are both prime examples of bold women with balls to kick down doors
with high heals to get what they want in life. They are the example of prime bold women who don’t need no
man in their life and who will take whatever road they want when they want it.
Chelsea just took a break from her old show on the E Channel and went to
Netflex and told them what she wanted to do on their network and they listened
and they accepted. Who get’s that kind of luck in life?
Her late night talk show was
called Chelsea Lately and had a pretty big following of fans. Back in April she
scratched her seven year itch from her E Entertainment talk show and stopped
taping in late August. Since then she has been on vacation. She was the only
late night TV talk show host and now there are no women chatting it up at
night. Her show was watched by half a million people every night. Chelsea’s 5 books are all bestsellers. Her
stand up comedy tours are standing room only. Despite all this comfortable
success , Chelsea needs a change.
She was going to wait for another
women to emerge but decided that that was not her responsibility. Why didn’t
she burst down some late night network doors? Men were playing musical chairs
with shows lately. Jimmy Fallon nabbed Jay Leno’s spot. In Fallon’s place Seth
Meyers is sitting. Steven Colbert will take David Letterman’s seat and Craig
Ferguson will leave his seat. Chelsea
Handler would be too offensive for any network TV slot anyway. So, Netflix is not
a TV Network and she would not be bound by censorship rules there. Netflix is a
streaming video service that happens to have a few hot new shows like House of
Cards and Orange Is The New Black. Yes TV and 500 Cable Channels are not enough
folks, we need Netflix now too.
She does not want to be tied down
to celebrity news. Chelsea wants to talk about human interests, politics and sports now. She says she wants
answers to questions that she wants to ask.
As part of a multi-tiered deal she will also front a stand-up special in
October and four docu-comedy specials in 2015. Then a full time talk show in
2016. Now this is a woman with big plans. She says her fearless attitude was
fostered in her while growing up in New Jersey. Being the youngest of six
children, she was basically the tag along to all the other kids and felt like
an outcast. At 19 she left home to start an acting career in Los Angeles.
Chelsea waited tables and started
doing stand up. She made a few TV
appearances but it was her first book about her one night stands that made her
get real fans. Making fun of everyone especially herself is her main thing on
tour. She earns more than 20 Million per year from all her projects and just
got another 10 Million deal from Netflix. She is just another girl like Joan
was paving her way on her terms with no apologies on the way.
