Chelsea Handler ends Netflix show, turns to activism
SalonAfter a two-year run, Netflix's late-night talk show, "Chelsea" — starring, created by and produced by comedian Chelsea Handler — will come to a close, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A network style, talk show format series on a platform that specializes in serial, bingeable content, "Chelsea" was always an odd fit for Netflix and both a creative and financial gamble. Whether "Chelsea" is ending per Handler's wishes, as she contends, or whether the difficult-to-produce show was simply unsuccessful ratings wise, the comedian's response to the shutting is remarkable. In an Instagram post announcing the end of "Chelsea," Handler said: Like so many across the country, the past presidential election and the countless events that have unfolded since have galvanized me.
