About Chelsea Devantez:

Chelsea Devantez is an Emmy Award–nominated writer, comedian, director, and host of the podcast Glamorous Trash. Before she entered into an overall television deal with 20th Century Studios, she was Jon Stewart’s head writer for Apple TV+’s The Problem with Jon Stewart. Her other television credits include Not Dead Yet, Girls5eva, and Bless This Mess, among others. She grew up in six different states all across the Southwest but will always consider New Mexico home.

About Chelsea's Memoir "I Shouldn't Be Telling You This":

There are things Chelsea Devantez probably shouldn’t be telling you, like how her family used lawn chairs as living room furniture, or how she used to date a magician. Then there are things Chelsea really shouldn’t be telling you: like the time her biggest family secret was publicly outed, or the domestic violence she survived as a teenager. In her hilarious and inspiring new collection of essays, Devantez tracks her life from a childhood in precarity to a burgeoning career in comedy to becoming the head writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart.
