Chelsea Lately Season 1 Episode 27 Season 1, Episode 27
- August 23, 2007
Chelsea Lately was a late night comedy talk show that aired on E! from 2007 until 2014. Hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler, the show featured a roundtable of guests discussing pop culture news and hot topics of the day, as well as stand-up comedy segments, sketches, and celebrity interviews.
In Season 1, Episode 27, Chelsea welcomes actress Mary Lynn Rajskub to the show. Best known for her role as Chloe O'Brian on the hit TV series 24, Rajskub talks to Chelsea about her upcoming comedy tour, her experience working on 24, and her love for performing stand-up comedy.
The show's roundtable segment features comedians Heather McDonald, Josh Wolf, and Jo Koy. The group discusses a wide range of topics, including the controversy surrounding Miley Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Michael Jackson's death, and the latest celebrity gossip.
One of the standout segments of the episode is a parody video called "Condi on the Runway," in which a Condoleezza Rice impersonator models outfits inspired by the former Secretary of State. The video is a cheeky commentary on Rice's fashion sense (or lack thereof) and the superficiality of the fashion industry.
The episode also features a hilarious sketch in which Chelsea plays a woman attending a support group for people addicted to self-help books. Things quickly spiral out of control as the group members start competing with each other to see who has the most tragic backstory.
As always, Chelsea's sharp wit and irreverent sense of humor keep the show moving at a brisk pace. She's equally at ease cracking jokes with her guests and skewering the latest media trends. Whether you're a fan of pop culture or just love a good laugh, Season 1, Episode 27 of Chelsea Lately is sure to entertain.
