But when Netflix prematurely canceled it after just 10 episodes, Wolf decided to rededicate her energy toward stand-up.Īfter years spent writing for Late Night with Seth Meyers, helping Chris Rock with his “sorority racist” Oscars monologue, and then serving as a contributor on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, 2019 was the first year during which she only did stand-up comedy.

The controversial performance dramatically raised Wolf’s profile and drew outsized attention to her “late night”-style series The Break, which premiered exactly one month later. They haven’t invited a comedian back since. It’s been almost two years since Wolf broke into the stand-up mainstream with Nice Lady on HBO (deemed the best special of 2017 by this website) and just about a year and a half since she broke Washington, D.C., with her scathing White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech.Īfter Wolf joked that she loved Sarah Huckabee Sanders “as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale” and complimented her “resourceful” approach to makeup by saying, “She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye,” prominent media figures on both sides of the partisan divide denounced her and even the White House Correspondents’ Association tried to distance themselves from her. The punchline comes near the end of her masterful hour-long set-and she doesn’t say his name. Doesn’t happen with Angela Merkel, who obviously doesn’t give a damn about how she looks or even Libran Theresa May – sensible hair and makeup, but really great accessories.Michelle Wolf mentions the current president of the United States just once in her new Netflix special Joke Show.

I’ve also heard Trump Admin has a dress code for ladies. I love my makeup as much as the next Libran, but that’s why I know their look is one that takes well over an hour, daily, to achieve (days they wash their hair and blowdry, it’s next to three hours). If you look at her, Kellyann Conway, Hope Hicks et al., there’s a very strong theme with Real Housewives estethics all over. Style choices are not irrelevant here, either. My personal Libran opinion? Sarah Huckabee Sanders completely writes into the Conservative Republican Stepford Wives meets Gilead mindset.
A male comedian fat shamed Chris Christie, and that hardly made headlines. There seems to be a serious double standard on what a female comedian can say, and what a male comedian can say. She didn’t even fat shame Sarah Huckabee Sanders, just made a remark on her style choices, such as a daytime smokey eye, and this sent people off rail. Michelle Wolf is a comedian, and this was a roast. This is ridiculous! Kathy Griffith, whose career almost ended with a bad Trump joke (she went to an international standup tour and is making a comeback now), said it the best on Twitter. Tr Saturn is about to retrograde in opposition to her Mars from mid this week which will throw up a setback or two, so there may be a comeback.
She’s not on top form at the moment with tr Neptune opposing her Mars/Saturn midpoint, which may explain her tone-deafness about her jokes and also the critical reception she got from other journalists.

She compared Sarah Huckabee Sanders to an “Uncle Tom” for white women remarked of Ivanka that ‘she’s about as helpful to women as an empty box of tampons’. The WP described her performance as ‘a routine that swerved from raunchy to downright nasty.’ One journalist remarked that “the spirit of the event had always been jokes that singe but don’t burn.’ Hers was deemed as mean. Michelle Wolf, the comedian, caused sharp intakes of breath with her caustic jokes while hosting last night’s White House correspondents dinner.
