''After Lately'' is a scripted comedy best described as ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm''. Which is weird, considering that it airs on {{Creator/E}}.

There is some logic to to this: the show is a SpinOff of ''Series/ChelseaLately'', which is somewhat more typical E! fare, being a talk show centered on celebrity news. However, the tone is quite different: while ''Chelsea Lately'' is all about ChelseaHandler [[InsultComic making fun of celebrities]], ''After Lately'' is about the writers, and the celebrity most often insulted is Chelsea herself, who comes off as a younger, female version of Creator/LarryDavid.
