The Break with Michelle Wolf is coming to late night. 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. 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. Michelle Wolf will also be hosting the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, April 28.
