Anti-Trump “Comedian” Michelle Wolf’s Netflix Show Cancelled
Apparently people didn’t want to watch unfunny hate-filled rants. Go figure.
Only a few months ago, “comedian” Michelle Wolf gave a cringe-worthy performance at the annual White House Correspondents’ dinner. During that disastrous bit, Wolf crossed several lines of decency, particularly in her personal attacks on White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. So onerous were her remarks that even leftists commended Sanders for her dignified behavior during Wolf’s onslaught.
That was in April, news broke yesterday that Netflix has cancelled Wolf’s show after only ten episodes. Apparently, many of those associated with the show found out about it on Twitter.
Watch Wolf at the White House Correspondents’ dinner:
You know it’s bad when the likes of MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and Andrea Mitchell offer support for Sanders.
Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable. I have experienced insults about my appearance from the president. All women have a duty to unite when these attacks happen and the WHCA owes Sarah an apology.

Apology is owed to @PressSec and others grossly insulted ny Michelle Wolf at White House Correspondents Assoc dinner which started with uplifting heartfelt speech by @margarettalev – comedian was worst since Imus insulted Clinton’s

That was then. Netflix did not state this appearance as a factor in their decision to cancel Wolf’s show, but it’s hard not to imagine a connection even if in terms of decreased viewers as a result of that shameful showing in April.
Comedian Michelle Wolf’s Netflix show has been canceled just months after it debuted, Fox News confirmed Friday.
In a statement, a representative for the company confirmed “we are not ordering additional episodes of the series.”
. . . . Ahead of the show’s launch, the comedian quipped it would bring “the types of jokes my former bosses would tell me we couldn’t do on TV,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
. . . . Viewership numbers were apparently behind Netflix’s decision to drop both shows, sources told Deadline.
Having not seen the show, I wasn’t aware that Wolf was also attacking Ivanka Trump on her now-cancelled show. Apparently she was, and in not just relentlessly unfunny but in offensively vulgar ways.
Fox News continues:
During the run of her now-canceled show, Wolf took aim at first daughter Ivanka in another series of crude jokes.
“If you see Ivanka on the street, first call her Tiffany. This will devastate her,” Wolf said. “Then talk to her in terms she’ll understand. Say, ‘Ivanka, you’re like vaginal mesh. You were supposed to support women but now you have blood all over you and you’re the center of a thousand lawsuits.’”
Later in the broadcast, she threw more jabs at the president’s daughter.
“Ivanka, you’re like that birth control pill Yaz. At first, it seemed like you’d be really cool and helpful but you need to be immediately recalled,” Wolf said.
According to the Daily Beast, the show’s writers and showrunners found out about the cancellation on Twitter.
Exclusive: Netflix cancelled Michelle Wolf's "The Break" tonight… and the entire writing staff — and even the showrunners — found out via Twitter https://t.co/NXH9eFpnPa

Well, that was fast. On Friday, Netflix quietly pulled the plug on The Break with Michelle Wolf, one of the only “late-night” shows on “television” hosted by a female comedian, just three months after it premiered.
. . . . “None of us can believe how classlessly Netflix has handled this,” a source connected to the show told The Daily Beast after the news broke, noting that the entire writing staff and even the showrunners found out they had been fired on Twitter.
It’s hard to disagree that, if true, this was indeed a classless way to let people know they were out of a job, but I don’t think many people will be shedding tears at the cancellation of Wolf’s unsuccessful show.

“None of us can believe how classlessly Netflix has handled this,”
I do not think the word “Class” should be used in any story with this wretched person in it. To call her a comedian is an insult to every comedian in the world good or bad. The “Writers” of this show should be grateful that they now have an opportunity to do some real comedic work with a real comedian.
Why watch that when they can get ‘the real thing’ on MSNBC.
Expect this kind of propaganda garbage to be ongoing from Netflix:
Netflix Names Ambassador Susan Rice to Board of Directors:

Boycott Netflix.
There’s a saying: “as ye sew, so shall ye reap”.
She sewed classlessness and reaped classlessness.
Glad to see a timeless truth in action.
“here’s a saying: “as ye sew, so shall ye reap”.
She sewed classlessness and reaped classlessness.”
You mean “sow”, but I catch the drift.
What does a female pig have to do with it? 😉 (Thx!)
“None of us can believe how classlessly Netflix has handled this
Only a rube would find it hard to believe that the people producing a classless show would do something classless.
This about sums up my feelings on this.

Ah shucks. A “comic” I did not watch—and learned of only when she floated to the top of the porcelain bowl at the White House Correspondents Association dinner–got canned. Maybe even in a “classless” fashion. To all that I say “tough noegies”. And maybe a booo effin’ hoo.
Unfair!! Now where will people go to get anti-Trump and anti-conservative humor?? (100% sarcasm)
Some people are foul looking on the outside, and some people are incredibly foul and detestable on the inside.
And then there are those people who have the foul intense ugliness on the inside that equals or surpasses the ugliness on the outside, and fugly Michelle Wolf is definitely one of those people. Even Chelsea Handler is impressed by Michelle Wolf’s saturation level of ugliness, and Chelsea Handler is the queen of inside and out ugly.
I rarely ever feel this way about people, and I never used to ever actually express as much, but I have to say that I am damn glad and very happy to watch and see Michelle Wolf FAIL, and I dearly hope everyone like her FAILS too. ¯/_(ツ)_/¯
How long until Ms Wolf starts blaming Donald Trump for her failure? Or maybe some vast conservative plot?
It worked for Amy Schumer. Sort of, anyway.
I was thinking more along the lines of the Ditzy Twits (Dixie Chicks),when dumped by their fan base tried to blame GW Bush for censorship.
It didn’t work for schumer. It ruined her appeal to anyone but useful idiots of the left and their handlers.
The toilet has been flushed: a grotesque fake comedian and a grotesque fake comedy show go into the sewer, where they belong.
Susan Rice’s Netflix should be avoided at all costs.
Find another way to watch a movie.
Never paid her the time of day before, so I’ll pay even less now. Don’t worry. It won’t require much effort on my part.
You need something stronger than Putrid. 😉
It’s hard to boycott that which you don’t bother with.
I have not seen many comedians who are actually funny in a long time. The hatred too many of them hold within themselves has removed any sense of humor.
I wish her as fruitful a life as she wishes on Conservatives and the Trumps.
Lately, I been viewing some of the George Burns and Gracie Allen show on TV. I was looking for a non-YouTube vid to share with you. Came across this site: https://archive.org/details/TheBurnsAndAllenShow062545-22650/BurnsAndAllen45-11-08GeorgeGoesHollywoodJessel.mp3
One episode from this, Rumba Lessons, contains this spot:
Blanche: Women are going to wear their hair longer.
Gracie: Oh, well, that ridiculous. I’m already wearing my hair 24 hours a day! https://archive.org/details/RumbaGracie
Useful idiot.

No one speaks the truth better than Eric. This was mostly in reference to Schumer, but I have to wonder if Wolff might get similar treatment when they resume.
