[edit] SetThe Chelsea Lately set has gone through some cosmetic changes.The floor of the stage has been turned black and throughout the stage there is more purple to go with scheme of the entire show. In older episodes there was brick around the entrance, leading to where the guest stars walk out to be interviewed by Handler. Also, the background mural behind where Handler and the guests of the roundtable sit has been changed to a city, presumbably Los Angeles. In the newer episodes the roundtable has been made larger. A blue neon light was added above the scrolling Chelsea Lately logo and above the guest entrance. The lighting of the set has been darkened to enhance these changes.In the show's third season, the floor of the stage was darkened and a blue neon light was added above the scrolling Chelsea Lately logo and guest entrance. The background mural was changed to a city's skyline. These chages were presumbably made to change the image of Chelsea Lately, as they happened within a month of the show's moving to its new timeslot in early 2009. The only thing that remains of the new redesigned Chelsea Lately set is the show's large scrolling logo behind where Handler interviews her guests and the plasma with the Chelsea Lately logo next to where the guest entrance is located [edit] Locations
