Laura Prepon to play Chelsea Handler in NBC pilot


"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.
