They've laughed, they've cried, they've cowered, they've begged and they've been humiliated -- yet still, Chelsea Handler's rambunctious late-night staffers are opening their office doors once again for the second season of E!'s hit series "After Lately."  The show brings cameras behind-the-scenes of the inane work environment of the late-night talk show "Chelsea Lately," helmed by the queen of late night, Chelsea Handler. 

The show takes viewers on a wild, often bumpy and always hilarious ride through the makings of late-night's most unconventional talk show.  Packed with A-list celebrity guests, including Jennifer Aniston, Jay Leno, Reese Witherspoon, Jenny McCarthy, Dave Grohl, Sharon Osbourne, Jane Fonda and many more, the new season promises to deliver more laughs, more screams and more uncomfortable moments than ever before.  The second season of "After Lately" premiered on November 27 at 11 p.m. (ET) on E!  For the staff, the stress of pumping out a new episode of "Chelsea Lately" every evening is the easy part; it's when the show signs off each night that Handler's employees are just getting started. 

Her loyal subjects include her beloved, diminutive partner-in-crime Chuy Bravo; the pasty-white and always inappropriate Brad Wollack; the acerbic Sarah Colonna; the skirt-chasing, big-toothed Chris Franjola; the desperate-to-be-famous Heather McDonald; the soft-spoken and often abused runt of the litter, Jeff "Jiffy" Wild; the sports-loving, frat-boy-next-door Josh Wolf; the lovingly neurotic Jen Kirkman; Handler's unpredictable brother, Roy Handler; and the always hungry Steve "Marmaljew" Marmalstein.

In addition to the show's witty cast of characters, the new season is packing some major Hollywood star power when many of Handler's famous friends pop by the "Chelsea Lately" offices to the delight -- or dismay -- of the crew.  Osbourne and Wild come to blows over an e-mail; gal pal Aniston tries to stay out of the middle when the staffers keep a secret from Handler; Grohl gets spooked when he thinks someone in the office is twitter-stalking him; Franjola and James Van Der Beek have a fashion throw-down; and Witherspoon is back again -- but this time the tables have turned.  Also making an appearance on the series is Leno, who plays tough with Wolf.

In the season premiere, Wollack puts his foot in his mouth (again), and unwittingly insults a woman with autism at a book signing.  Through a chain of events, the news of the insult spreads like wildfire and gets back to Handler and her good friend and autism advocate, McCarthy, both of whom are outraged by Wollack's idiocy.  Meanwhile, Franjola has a blind date and finds out that the gorgeous woman he’s out to dinner with, and is lusting after -- might just be his daughter.  In true fashion, Handler is there to ridicule him each step of the way.

"After Lately" is executive-produced by Handler, Tom Brunelle and Jay Karas.  Wollack and Johnny Milord serve as co-executive producers. "After Lately" is produced by Borderline Amazing Productions.
