Laura Prepon to play Chelsea Handler in NBC pilot
Posted by Shazy on Thursday, February 17, 2011
"That '70s Show" star Laura Prepon is set to play comedian Chelsea Handler in "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," a comedy pilot for NBC inspired by Handler's autobiography of the same name, Deadline reports.
The pilot centers on Chelsea Hanson, a single cocktail waitress who is highly opinionated and open about her love of sex and alcohol. Yes, that sounds like Handler. The pilot is being written and executive-produced by "Dharma & Greg" co-creator Dottie Zicklin and Julie Larson, and Handler is serving as an executive producer.
Prepon recently guest-starred on several series, including "How I Met Your Mother" and "Castle." Her last starring role was on the ABC drama "October Road" after "That '70s Show" wrapped in 2006.
