Popular YouTube vlogger Grace Helbig is making her TV debut tonight on the E! Network.
Helbig makes three videos a week from her home for her two million subscribers. Her videos are a one person talk show where she entertains her mostly teenage fans with commentary about various pop culture topics.
She also created the award-winning web series "DailyGrace," and her book, "Grace's Guide: The Art of Pretending to Be a Grown-up," landed at No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller list.
E! is hoping to bring her millions of subscribers over to TV and recently gave her a contract to bring "The Grace Helbig Show" to TV.
The show will still be informal like her Internet videos, except she will have a bigger camera crew and have famous guests.
"It takes place in a house and there's no trying to hide that there's a crew involved," Helbig told USA Today. "I wanted the fourth wall to be destroyed. I want the audience to feel like they're on set; they know the director, they know the camera guy, they know the boom operator's favorite type of deodorant."
She hopes her show will stand out among the other talk shows that already exist by asking celebrities more personal questions, rather than just focusing on things they are promoting.
"I don't want them to feel cookie-cutter or carbon copies of what Fallon, Kimmel, Letterman, or Leno have done," Helbig told USA Today. "I'm not so interested in what movie a celebrity is promoting or what television show might be premiering. I'm more interested in: 'Does Channing Tatum know how to do laundry?' I guess the more simple, personal sides of people. We're going to try to find a happy medium between keeping it simple and silly, and also having guests be able to promote the project that they're working on."
"The Grace Helbig Show" is set to premiere April 3 at 10:30 p.m. on the E! Network.
