Chelsea Handler's talk show, 'Chelsea Lately' is coming to a close after seven years and the final episode will air in August.

According to a statement by E! network, the final episode of the show will air on August 26, reported US magazine.

"I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years," Chelsea said in a statement.

"I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I'm glad I went," the 39-year-old comedian added.
 

Handler's next step has not been revealed, but she's been rumoured to be in the running to replace Craig Ferguson, who is

set to leave CBS' 'The Late Late Show' at the end of the year.

To celebrate the show, and its seven-year long run, there will be a month-long celebration of special episodes and surprise guests, the network said.
