It's not really surprising news, but American comedian Chelsea Lately's late night show for E! is to be cancelled after a seven-year run. The show which sees her interview some of the biggest stars in Hollywood has been on a downward spiral for some time. Poor aul Chelsea, but she had a good run in fairness.
E! President Suzanne Kolb said in a press release; "We are very proud of Chelsea Lately’s long-running success and the unique space that the series carved out in late night television. Chelsea brought a distinct voice to late night with her acerbic wit and fearless commentary and we look forward to providing fans with a memorable send-off that lives up to that tradition. Most of all, we are grateful to the Chelsea Lately team for making this show so special for seven years.”
The show is set to end on August 26, after a “month-long celebration of special episodes and surprise guests leading up to the live series finale.”
Chelsea herself said; “I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years. I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I’m glad I went.”
