Chelsea Handler will be saying goodbye to her late night talk show series Chelsea Lately on August 26, 2014. Leading up to the final episode of the show, E! has planned a special month-long celebration that will include surprise guests.

“We are very proud of Chelsea Lately’s long-running success and the unique space that the series carved out in late night television,” said Suzanne Kolb, President, E! “Chelsea brought a distinct voice to late night with her acerbic wit and fearless commentary and we look forward to providing fans with a memorable send-off that lives up to that tradition. Most of all, we are grateful to the Chelsea Lately team for making this show so special for seven years.”

“I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years,” said Handler. “I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I’m glad I went.​”

The series was executive produced by Handler, Tom Brunelle, and Susan Murphy.
