Latenight talker "Chelsea Lately" has been given a second-season greenlight by E! Entertainment Television.
Show, which airs nightly at 11:30 p.m., returns Monday with new episodes.
"Chelsea has a fantastic sense of humor and a one-of-a-kind approach to pop culture commentary," said Lisa Berger, E! exec VP of original programming and series development. She enthused that "audiences have responded to her distinct brand of comedy."
"Chelsea Lately" bowed on July 16; show has seen its audience grow by 23% since the summer launch, E! said.
Upcoming guests on "Chelsea Lately" include Snoop Dogg, Bob Saget and Scott Baio. The standup comedian's next book, "Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea," will be released in the spring.
