After four years of working as a writer-contributor on The Daily Show and writer on Late Night With Seth Meyers, now it’s Michelle Wolf’s turn to host. Wolf has landed her own half-hour weekly Netflix talk show for premiere this year.
The untitled show will take a break from the seriousness of late-night comedy, Netflix says. Instead of making the news fun, she’ll make fun of everything and everybody. There will be no preaching or political agenda — unless it’s funny.
“You can expect the types of jokes my former bosses would tell me we couldn’t do on TV,” said Wolf.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Michelle, a gifted writer and performer with a singular voice,” said Netflix’s VP Content Bela Bajaria.
Michelle will executive produce through her Cats in Pants banner. Daniel Bodansky also will executive produce.
Dan Powell (Inside Amy Schumer) and Christine Nangle (The President Show, The Mick) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.
