Wow, Chelsea Lately! Who Knew???

Anyone that works in the industry knows the television comes down to two factors: ratings and money, not necessarily in that order.
We weren't so shocked to know that Late Night with David Letterman fared better in advertising revenue than The Tonight Show, even before NBC played ring-around-the-show-host.
But we were amazed to learn that Chelsea Handler's E! late-night program, Chelsea Lately makes almost the same amount on ad revenue as Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report. Further more, her $$$ is on the rise, while Stephen Colbert is beginning to flat line.
Never would have guessed, but props to her! As the only lady of late-night, she should be getting a decent cut!

QUICK MARIO WE NEED MORE SUCK ASS STORIES ON YOUR GAR GAAR YOU SELF LOATHING QUEEN !
"As the only lady of late-night" what? doesn't Wanda Sykes have a late night show on FOX it replaced mad tv after it was canceled.
She is such a douche. The show is only funny about 15% of the time. She was so much funnier on GBB. I like comics that offend people/groups as long as they do it in jest and are actually funny.
Im not surprised her so is fucking awesome!
Wanda Sikes has a late night show too.
What about Wanda?
the comment on the picture made me laugh so hard! Love Chelsea
Whoa whoa, hold up! Only lady of Late Night? Have you not tuned in to The Wanda Sykes Show?!?! Its hilarious! Wanda needs to be on every night not just Saturday nights. If FOX is smart they will put Conan on first and then Wanda every weeknight, and give Kathy Griffin her own show Saturday nights.
Re: PrinceDavey – agreed!
You're such an asshole. I hope you're never invited back to her show, because you're completely UNFUNNY
CHELSEA HANDLER FUCKING SUCKS AND NOBODY GIVES A SHIT. E! GET THE FUCK FUCK OFF THE AIR
Good for her. She's pretty much the only game in town when it comes to female late-night hosts.
Which isn't saying much since she's nowhere in the same league as a Colbert or really any one else on late night. I guess Leno, but he's not horrible either IMO.
What about Monique on BET does she count ?
it's that surprising? well i dunno…i like her and her show.
Her show is really good. Stupid thing to write about.
Yes, I heard all this! I watch her every night! She is getting to be much much better! And I Lurrrve her!
She's the best. End of discussion.
Hell yeah!! This does not surprise me at all I've been watching this show since day one!!! Chelsea Lately is tha SHIT!!!!!!!!
i think she's horribly un-funny. and she thinks she's so funny which is even more annoying.
no where near dave, jimmy, or colbert. i guess yenta's and queens gotta have something to watch.
where's the info that backs up this statement.
God I f'n hate that skank!!!!
UMMMMMMMMMM, maybe you havent heard or maybe you dont get a SH*T Buuuuuuut….She is not the only female in Late Night, Monique has a show and i think you should correct yourself. Quickly!!!!
Her show is amazeballs! I laugh so hard, her pannel is always hilarious, Chuy melts my heart and i love how she makes all her guests feel uncomfortable with her questions and comments… LOVE HER! The only late night show i watch!
Okay so I guess Monique and ms how u doin aren't included, they show late night over here. I love Chelsea though so good for her
I LOVE Chels
Shes amazing
Team Chelsea. But, I do want to check out Wanda. I just keep forgetting about it.
What can i say: Chelsea Lately is awesome! I love the round-table!
She and Joel McHale are the only two on E! that arent a bunch of annoying ass-kissers.
she is SO funny! Her show needs to be an hour!!!
This bitch said she turned 35 last week, and THERE IS NO WAY she is ONLY 35…try 45.
there's an art revolution that would bring art back to the basics - then tv wouldn't be about ratings and money, it would be about quality and fun.
Join the arts revolution. It's just more fun.
PH talk about the arts and media revolution - thanks.
I love her!!
I love Chelsea Lately..!!! Too bad they don't show it where i live tho.. I have to watch it online..
But I find her really funny n just generally awesome..
I love Chelsea! Good to know she's getting the $$$$.
I love Chelsea, but since the E! Channel isn't in Canada anymore we can't watch it! unless somebody knows something I don't!
"…the only lady of late-night" ??????? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? The Monique Show……HELLO!!! Oh, I forgot, that is on BET. You don't do that network do you, Perez?
Re: ambee85 – She's black, I don't think Perez ever has anything good to say about black artists.
Wow what a bunch of haters..haha Chelsea is great, love her show
Why would you not have guessed she'd do so well? She is freakin' hilarious and everyone watches her. EVERYONE. Colbert's shtick is getting old, no surprise there.
