As the streaming company's first talk show, "Chelsea" had to evolve before viewers' eyes, and in real time.
"I feel like I was digging into something like unknown territory for me, and trying to kind of do something that was breaking with the format of a traditional talk show," Handler, 41, told Business Insider.
Handler didn't want to use the classic late-night talk show format of a monologue, guests, musical guests, etc. It was a definitely a process of experimentation for several weeks.
"I feel like we clicked in about six weeks in. Or I clicked in, personally, on a performance level," she explained. "And now, it's just everything keeps falling into place."
Although the show streams just three new episodes a week, it's a full-time job for Handler and the show's staff.
Business Insider got a rare look at a day with Handler behind-the-scenes of her talk show at the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Los Angeles.
