After Lately is a faux reality show that purports to show the behind-the-scenes goings on of Chelsea Handler's late Night talk show, Chelsea Lately. It is in fact a parody of a reality show (in the vein of shows such as The Larry Sanders Show and The Office) that is both scripted and improvised, in which the various cast members, writers, crew, and even 'hangers-on' of Chelsea Lately are shown as a dysfunctional family, pranking each other, attempting to interact with celebrities, bickering and arguing over mostly trivial and petty matters, and competing for show air time and personal approval from Chelsea. Handler herself appears in every episode of the program and is always portrayed as having a loving disdain for everyone she employs.
Guest stars for After Lately include, Reese Witherspoon, Justin Bieber, Giuliana Rancic, Loni Love, Natasha Leggero, Ross Mathews, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Geri Jewell, Tori Spelling, Vicki Gunvalson, Gary Valentine, Jenny McCarthy, Sharon Osbourne, Antonio Sabàto, Jr., Nick Marcucci and Sue Murphy.
