The Break with Michelle Wolf, a weekly half hour variety/sketch series, launches Sunday, May 27 on Netflix. With four years of working on shows including, The Daily Show and Late Night w/ Seth Meyers, it's now Michelle's turn to host and her new weekly show will take a break from the seriousness of today's late night comedy. Michelle Wolf was also the host at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, April 28.
I'll check it out.

I saw her open for Louis C.K. a few years back.
I thought her recent HBO special was very well done.

Is she the sister of Carrot Top?

I haven't watched this yet, but I did watch a Youtube clip, which looks like a prefilmed skit they might've shown on the show:

The show didn't quite click for me. I'll still check out next show. At least it's new each week.
But that voice....

I enjoy her when she's on The Daily Show but I wasn't crazy about this first episode. It was especially ridiculous how they kept showing the DJ laughing hysterically all the time.
I'll give it another episode or 2, I remember not liking The Opposition with Jordan Klepper much when it started but now I love that show.

I thought it was totally awful. Not remotely funny. And it gave me a new appreciation for the writers of SNL and their ad parodies - they may not always work, but they've never tried anything as shockingly unfunny as an Amazon Alexa that...wants lunch meat? Who thought that (or the way-overlong, painfully unfunny movie trailer for that matter) was worth the effort to film?

I actually think Michelle Wolf is very funny (her voice is annoying, but annoyingly funny because she is self deprecating about it). The problem is there is nothing new with this show as everyone is doing it in some form of another as we are just saturated by them at this point.

Well like a few people I never heard of her before that thing a month back.
I watched the first ep and boy was that hard to watch.
The interview in the third part was boring. I can’t even remember what they talked about.
The Amazon Echo was the only thing worth seeing.
I’ll watch more but it better get better.

It wasn't really an interview though, more like her having a friend on to do another segment with. It's an interesting idea, it reminded my a bit of the original Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher when at the end of the show it'd just be him and a comedian friend sitting there reading jokes.
This episode ended up being not that topical. I don't know if that's going to be the format going forward, where she riffs on more general things instead of what's happening in the news "right now," or if it was because this episode was taped a while ahead of time.
