History edit

On August 6, 2014, Deadline Hollywood reported that Grace Helbig was to star in a comedy/talk show pilot, tentatively called The Grace Helbig Project.[4] The announcement came only a few weeks before the conclusion of another E! late-night talk show, Chelsea Lately, which Helbig had previously appeared on.

On March 10, 2015, E! stated in a press release that the show, now titled The Grace Helbig Show, would premiere on April 3, 2015, at 10:30 pm ET, following The Soup.[5]

On May 11, 2015, the network announced that the show would be moving from Fridays at 10:30 pm ET to Sundays at 11 pm ET, beginning May 31, 2015.[6]
