EXCLUSIVE: After helping Chelsea Handler become a household name with her talk show, E! is looking to do the same with another young female comedian who has a big Web/social media presence, Grace Helbig. Helbig will star in a hybrid comedy/talk show pilot for the cable network, produced by Sony-owned Embassy Row (Talking Dead). The project will highlight Helbig’s skills as a pop culture anthropologist. The Grace Helbig Project (working title) is not targeted for a specific time period though E! has a late-night talk show opening with the pending departure of Chelsea Lately.
Am a bit concerned that this means her YouTube won't be active while she's filming, but at least she's moving to bigger things.
