Career

Wolf was employed at Bear Stearns from 2007 to 2008, later at JPMorgan Chase, where he spent almost four years at JPMorgan Chase, dealing in mutual funds and managing accounts between the two banks. Wolf began performing at the People's Improv Theatre and the Upright Citizens Brigade around the time of JPMorgan's buyout (PIT). Her dissatisfaction with the imperfect and ephemeral essence of improvation, as well as others' encouragement, led her to audit a People's Improvisational Theater, PIT's stand-up class. She made her first appearance on late-night television in July 2014 when she appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She appeared on several Late Night programs, often as her fictional persona, "Grown-Up Annie," an adult version of Little Orphan Annie. She then held various posts on the same show, including, most recently, as writing coach.

Comedy Central unveiled Now Hiring, a Wolf-hosted YouTube series, in November 2015. Wolf is a regular at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. She appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah in April 2016. Wolf has admitted that she learned a lot about comedy while doing Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah.

She appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2016, her first appearance outside of North America.

Wolf's television appearances in the United Kingdom include an appearance on Live At The Apollo in late 2016 and a panelist on the UK comedy game show 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown in early 2017, co-starring team captain Jon Richardson and British stand-up comedian Jon Richardson. She appeared on the same program later this year, this time collaborating with Sean Lock. On November 20, 2016, Wolf appeared on Frankie Boyle's American Autopsy, reflecting on the 2016 presidential election in the United States. She appeared on an episode of 8 Out of 10 Cats in January 2017, along with English footballer Jermaine Jenas and team captain Rob Beckett, and she also collaborated with David Mitchell on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2018.

Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady, Wolf's first HBO stand-up comedy, was taped at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in New York City in mid-August 2017.

Wolf was the featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 28, 2018. For the second year in a row, US President Donald Trump did not attend the dinner, instead sending Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House Press Secretary.

Wolf performed a 19-minute comedy routine and was both praised and chastised for her "harsh and stinging" gags directed at the Trump administration, most notably at Sanders, as well as the media itself. One commentator called Wolf's article "the most influential monologue so far of the Donald Trump period." The monologue was so risqué that they stopped broadcasting it half-way through, fearing she might have broken FCC indecency legislation and that they would be fined. Wolf's remark about Sanders' use of ashes of facts to produce her flawless eye makeup became the most controversial topic among the criticisms directed at Wolf's presentation:

Maggie Haberman of The New York Times, Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC, and Andrea Mitchell of NBC News all condemned Wolf on Twitter for attacking Sanders. "[i]t was disgusting, despicable," Fox News' Ed Henry said. CBS News executives had been considering canceling their involvement in future dinners, but later changed its position after the network was promised that the Correspondents' Union would "seriously discuss reforms to the dinner's design." "Tonight's #WHCD was a disgrace," Wolf replied, "Thank you" a former press secretary Sean Spicer. Trump called many outside experts to condemn the comedian, and he sent a series of tweets claiming that the "so-called comedian" and the "filthy 'comedian' have been completely bombed." The dinner will be delayed or "started] over, according to the reports.

"Why are you guys making this stuff about Sarah's appearance?" Wolf asked her journalists from the media: "Why are you guys making this about her appearance?" Sarah asked? I said she burns facts and uses the ash to create a *perfect* smoky eye. "I complimented her eye makeup and her material ingenuity." Wolf said in an interview with Terry Gross on NPR that the joke wasn't about Sanders' appearances at all, but that it was about her lies, and that there is no need to protect it in the first place. "I did not criticize any of the women's physical appearances, unlike some male politicians, like Mitch McConnell's neck or Chris Christie's height, but "as a woman, I have the ability to assault women in a way that men would not be able to hit them with jokes," she said. "I wouldn't change a single word that I said," she said when discussing her appearance. I'm thrilled with what I said, and I'm glad I stuck to my guns."

Other journalists, including Jacob Soboroff of CNN, Joan Walsh of CNN, Amanda Hess of The Washington Post, and Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post, took responsibility for Wolf's condemnation of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA)'s statement released by its president, Margaret Talev, took responsibility for the obituary issued by the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA). Talev said that the program was "not meant to give a unifying message about [the WHCA's] common commitment to a vibrant and free press while still respecting civility, excellent research, and scholarship winners, not to divide people" and that Wolf's "monologue was not in keeping with the mission." The WHCA was chastised for disavowing Wolf, according to James Poniewozik, who wrote for The New York Times, she was "defending the White House press's mission: standing up for the truth." Even though it didn't have hers the day after, Michelle Wolf had the WHCA's back on Saturday night. Masha Gessen of the New Yorker was particularly taken by Wolf's critique of journalism, lauding her for her "exposed the obscenity of the fictions" of "The Age of Trump."

Many comedians came out in support of Wolf's defense, including Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers, Adam Conover, Dave Chappelle, Kathy Griffin, Guy Branum, Anthony Atamanuik. Jimmy Dore and Jimmy Dore. "This is the correspondents' dinner, honoring the freedom of expression," Stephen Colbert, who was the featured entertainer at the 2006 edition of The Late Show, joked on The Late Show.

You can't just say whatever you want!"

Writer Nell Scovell of Vulture chastised journalists Haberman, Brzezinski, and Mitchell for what Scovell called a "manufactured cat fight" between Wolf and Sanders. Scovell wrote "[w]omen, comedians, and journalists all grabbed each other's hair and threw each other to the ground as men cheered and applauded" after the ensuing controversy.

Wolf's last word in her address was "Flint still doesn't have clean water," referring to the long-running man-made water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

Wolf hosted The Break With Michelle Wolf, a weekly Netflix talk show that premiered on May 27, 2018 and was cancelled on August 18, 2018. It was announced ahead of the show that it would "take a break from late-night comedy" and that "instead of making the news fun," the actress says "she'll make fun of everything and everybody." There will be no preaching or political agenda, unless it's funny." She was also an executive producer for the program. The trailer was created to coincide with her appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2018. Netflix ordered a 10-episode season that premiered in May 2018 and aired for over ten weeks, with the series's finale on July 29, 2018. After one season, the show was cancelled due to a lack of enough viewers to warrant a renewal.

Netflix unveiled Joke Show, a stand-up comedy special written and performed by Wolf in December 2019.

In 2022, Michelle Wolf appears on Netflix's "Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill."
