Chelsea Handler Sitcom Cast Cut in Half
Producers for NBC’s mid-season debut, “Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea,” a show partially based off the best-selling memoir of jokester Chelsea Handler, have reportedly already fired nearly half of the cast for “creative reasons.”
According to TVLine.com’s website, those cut include former White Collar co-star Natalie Morales, onetime ER nurse Angel Laketa Moore, and stand-up comic and Chelsea Lately mainstay Jo Koy.
As of now, the semi-autobiographical comedy series still will star Laura Prepon, a.k.a Donna from That 70’s Show, playing the role of sports bar employee Chelsea Hanson, Lenny Clarke (Rescue Me) as Chelsea’s father, and the vodka-loving late night talk show queen herself will have a cameo as Chelsea’s sister.
You can watch the original trailer – with now-axed cast members Moore, Morales, and Koy still intact – for Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea below:
