Background
Chelsea is part of Handler's deal with Netflix that she made in July[9] which included a stand-up special titled Uganda Be Kidding Me Live[9][10][11] and a four part docu-comedy special called Chelsea Does.[9][10][11]
On March 16, 2016, Handler announced on Twitter that her next tv show would not released all at once but on Wednesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's.[9] On that same day, Handler submitted a hand-written memo to herself concerning the new show and the memo said “PREMIERES MAY 11TH”.[8][9][11] She announced that her and Netflix would unveil the name of the show on her Twitter chat.[9]
Regarding the title of the show, Handler said that[8] “We thought long and hard about the title for my ....Netflix show, and there was a whole team at Netflix who worked on it; we hired a digital department and some small children who work in various countries to help roll this show out, and after two to three long hours, we came up with the name ‘Chelsea. It is named after herself.[8][11]
The show will not be live but will be in front of a live audience.[8] Handler explained why:[8] "It has to be fed into 190 countries, which prohibits us from going live on Netflix, so we’re going to tape and then they will stream and feed it into every other country and territory that they’re in and then it will come on about probably 12 hours after we tape it.”
She expressed that she wants this show to be different from the typical late-night format saying "I don’t want it to be like a talk show every night where I come out singing and dancing every night.[8]”
