The Break with Michelle Wolf

I loved The Break. Michelle Wolf takes what would be a basic late night-type show and pushes the boundaries enough to make it feel refreshing and sharp. Every bit of her routine was hilarious and I loved the 'sports smash' section. The only part I didn't care for was the fake commercials. I felt they were just a bit odd, but it's worth suffering through for the rest of the show! Can't wait to see what Michelle does next week.

Michelle Wolf is not a new entity, she was already building her fame around the world for quite a few years as a comedian, absolutely fearless and biting in her comedy. Love her. Those reviewers that knows her for the 1st time from the WHCD knows next-to-nothing about what she's capable to deliver.

She was ready for her own show.

But sadly, 4 episodes in, this show is far from her best (or average even) work. She was much better in those other shows & stand-ups. My score of 6 could have been an easy 9 if she's as good as she was in, say, CC's TDS, all the time!

I think the whole idea of The Break - "take a break from the seriousness of late-night comedy" and "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." - just isn't suitable for her. It might be good for the likes of Jimmy Fallon - that dude LOVES to laugh at his own jokes BEFORE he delivered the jokes - & Conan O'Brien, not the politically sharp cleaver of a comedian like Wolf.

Still, those 1* reviews are pathetic. Those reviewers should mention what shows they like to objectively judge their comedy prejudices & political leaning subjectivity.

It's just plainly mean joke, sounds a lot like bullying all these people she brought up. I like Michelle and want to support her so I hope this type of joke will go away.

Finally! A show I can really relate to. As a non-Caucasian, non-Republican, millennial female who doesn't want kids this first episode really resonated with me and it was hilarious. I love her dry to the point humor, feminist outlook and the silly skits.

I really liked her White House bit. I liked her appearances on all the different shows where she gave interviews. But this is show is just not cutting it. It's mediocre at best. But listening to her air-sirene-like voice is hard to do if you have to listen for 30 minutes at a time. If she had anything different to say, it would probably be bearable. But she is no different than Colbert, Kimmel, Myers and/or Hasan Minhaj. And that means I choose not to listen to that raspy voice. If I want to listen to her good jokes, I will turn on the White house bit again. If I want a view on the current political stage, I will watch someone with a bearable voice.
