'Are You There, Chelsea?' Subplot Is About a Guy Named Rick (Not Me)

Geneva's Julie Larson is lead write and co-producer of "Are You There, Chelsea?" based on the books of Chelsea Handler.

Geneva's is the lead writer and co-producer of Are You There, Chelsea?, the NBC series that on at 7:30 p.m. our time.

Julie said the premiere episode was a huge success, with more than 6 million viewers—just mind-boggling to me. I can't imagine how many Patch stories I'd have to write to get to 6 million page views.

Here's a preview of tonight's (Wednesday, Jan. 25) episode, courtesy of starsentertainment.com.

"When Sloane (Chelsea Handler) plans a social gathering for her church group at Jerry’s Ultimate Sports Bar, Chelsea (Laura Prepon) finds herself attracted to the band’s cute lead singer Luke (Austin Butler, Switched at Birth) but his virginal ways soon become an insurmountable obstacle. She then decides he is the perfect match for Dee Dee (Lauren Lapkus) and sets about matchmaking. Meanwhile, Rick’s (Jake McDorman) old girlfriend Nikki (Natasha Leggero, Chelsea Lately) takes a job at the bar and while Rick is excited to have her around, her saucy personality doesn’t sit well with everyone."

I'm pretty sure the Rick character is based on me. "JK," as my daughter would say.
