It's been about four months since the first episode of Chelsea Handler's Netflix talk show was released, but the comedian feels they've already found their groove.

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."
