Handler was a well-known comedian employed by E! Entertainment Studios, where she hosted her own late night comedy show entitled “Chelsea Lately” with assistant Chuy Bravo. Born on Feb. 25, 1975 in Livingston, NJ. Handler was one of six children. At the age of 19, Handler decided to move from New Jersey to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, where she eventually decided to do stand-up comedy.
Although she originated her career by being a humorist (having been dubbed the “Queen of Comedy” by Vanity Fair) , this talented woman had many more accomplishments in her lifetime. Handler is very well known for her roles as a model, actress, television host, columnist for Cosmopolitan magazine, and a best-selling author. Not only has she performed in front of nationally sold out audiences as a stand-up comedian, but also this year she hosted the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, making Handler the second female in history to be the sole host of the ceremony.
Some of her more recent projects included her late night talk show as well as a producing project entitled “Pretty Wild”, a reality television show on E! that Handler had been producing since the beginning of March.
Handler was preceded in death by her mother, Sylvia Handler, and is survived by father, Melvin Handler, of Livingston, NJ; her five siblings, and her nephew, Teddy Handler.
A Memorial Service in her honor will take place at 11am Friday at Heritage Memorial, located on 17712 Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach, Calif. immediately followed by a burial at Good Shepherd Cemetery.
