Chelsea Handler sets date for Netflix debut

Chelsea Handler finished her E! talk show last month with a star-studded sendoff, but she won't be gone for very long.

The comedian and now-former "Chelsea Lately" host will be making her Netflix debut in October, she announced Tuesday.

Her comedy special "Chelsea Handler: Uganda Be Kidding Me," will premiere on the streaming service on Friday, Oct. 10, she revealed via Twitter.


Handler struck a deal earlier this year to move to Netflix, where she's also scheduled to create four documentary specials in 2015 and a full-time talk show in 2016.
