Chelsea Handler, the host of late-night’s Chelsea Lately, signed a deal with NBC for a prime-time comedy show based on one of her books, Deadline.com reported on Thursday.

The show will be an autobiographical comedy based on the comedian’s life when she was in her twenties.

The show will get “pilot commitment” on NBC, Deadline said.

Handler, 35, won’t star in the series but is co-producing it. The show will draw from her essays.

She’s keeping her hands full as she will also be working on her upcoming scripted comedy for E! called After Lately.

Her NBC show is titled, Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, named after her best-selling book.

She also got a role in an upcoming Reese Witherspoon film called This Means War, according to the Internet Movie Database.
