Plot

"After Lately" is an imaginative American television comedy that offers an entertainingly exaggerated mockumentary-style glimpse into the backstage chaos of the late-night talk show, "Chelsea Lately." With its host and creative mastermind Chelsea Handler at the helm, the series uncovers the quirks of the highly dysfunctional writing staff, a troupe of stand-up comedians who serve as on-air personalities, constantly vying for air time and their leader's approval. In this offbeat behind-the-scenes spectacle, the players are portrayed by their real-life counterparts, painting an eccentric tableau of show business, where the line between reality and parody blurs. The staff, whom Chelsea affectionately refers to as her "family," bickers and squabbles over petty matters, relishing the perks and enduring the humiliities of the entertainment industry, all in the pursuit of producing a nightly late-night comedy show. Adding to the mix are two unique characters: Chelsea's assistant, Chuy Bravo, her endearing "Little Nugget" who contributes little more than cuteness to the set, and the show's chef, her actual brother Roy Handler, who is on the receiving end of Chelsea's trademark acerbic wit, just like her writing staff. The series is also punctuated by the appearances of celebrity guests, who humorously play exaggerated versions of themselves, adding another layer of intrigue and comedy to the dynamic interactions with Chelsea and the cast. "After Lately" is a comedic dive into the tumultuous world behind late-night TV, where dysfunction is the norm and laughter is the lifeblood.
