"Seinfeld's" Estelle Harris and comedian Natasha Leggero have landed multi-episode arcs on NBC's new comedy "Are You There, Chelsea?", TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Based on Chelsea Handler's best-selling book, the series revolves around a youthful, opinionated and sexually aggressive Chelsea (Laura Prepon) who works at a bar and drinks away all its profits.
Leggero, who frequently appears on the "Chelsea Lately" roundtable, will portray Nikki Natoli, the ex-girlfriend of Rick (Jake McDorman) who gets a job at the sports bar.
Nikki has a difficult time relating to Chelsea and other people who, in her mind, are not as classy as she is. In turn, Chelsea will take a liking to Nikki's loud and often offensive grandmother Tess (Harris), who pushes Nikki's buttons.
