Calling all it’sGrace fans! YouTube star Grace Helbig will be replacing Chelsea Handler’s popular E! talk show Chelsea Lately with her very own show, according to Deadline.com. Grace, who has appeared as a guest comedian on Handler’s show, will be talking over as the new E! queen of comedy. Helbig has already gained a large fan base by vlogging on her own YouTube series, it’sGrace, where she entertains her nearly two million subscribers. Her wit, awkward explanations and perfect comedic timing are guaranteed to make anyone wish they could be her BFF.
It’s been a great year for this up-and-coming comedian. She stared in her first film Camp Takota with fellow YouTubers Mamrie and Hannah Hart, and was recently nominated for a Teen Choice Award. She can even add author to her growing resumé of talents after announcing her first book, Grace’s Guide: The Art Of Pretending To Be A Grown-Up, which will be released in October. That’s all in addition to the many other “secret projects” she taunts her viewers with on a weekly basis.
Although the details of the talk show/comedy hybrid are still TBD (all we know is that is promises to “highlight Helbig’s skills as a pop culture anthropologist”), we can’t wait to watch Grace move from YouTube to the TV screen. Until then, you can pre-order Grace’s Guide and stay up to date with her daily vlogs!
