"Chelsea Lately""s a half-hour show. Besides the Monday-through-Friday (although she only works a four-day week), there's also a weekly spinoff called "After Lately," a scripted show that is supposedly "behind-the-scenes" on "Chelsea Lately" but is actually a mockumentary. It runs in 13-week seasons, though, not continuously.
