Netflix Cancels Michelle Wolfs Talk Show After Less Than Three Months
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/netflix-cancels-michelle-wolfs-talk-show-after-less-than-three-months/

Netflix officially pulled the plug on Michelle Wolfs talk show The Break with Michelle Wolf.

The comedian made a name for herself earlier this year at the White House Correspondents Dinner, where her monologue received a mix reception, especially for her jokes targeting Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who attended the event. Wolf had previously appeared as a correspondent on The Daily Show and a writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Wolfs controversial brand of comedy continued at Netflix, which debuted shortly after the White House Correspondents Dinner in late May. She compared First Daughter and White House advisor Ivanka Trump to herpes, made a satirical video linking ICE to ISIS while impersonating Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and celebrated abortions in honor of Independence Day with a parade and marching band.

Her show aired weekly and lasted ten episodes, the last one airing July 29th. Wolf has yet to make a public statement on her shows cancellation.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Netflix also canceled Joel McHales talk show The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, which premiered in February.

Netflix has had mix results in late-night programming. David Lettermans program My Next Guest Needs No Introduction appears to be doing well in comparison to Wolf and McHales programs. Meanwhile, the streaming service also canceled Chelsea Handlers talk show Chelsea last year.

Daily Show alum Hasan Minhaj is set to debut his show Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj on Netflix this fall along with Norm Macdonald has a Show and The Fix, a comedy panel show starring Jimmy Carr, Katherine Ryan, and D.L. Hughley.

UPDATE (10:10PM): The Daily Beast reported late Friday night that the writing staff and showrunners of The Break with Michelle Wolf found out about their shows cancellation on Twitter.

None of us can believe how classlessly Netflix has handled this, a source close to the show told The Daily Beast.

Joel McHales show was great. I have seen a few episodes of Michelle Wolfs and it was pretty good. Hasan Minhaj is very funny and Norm McDonald is a legend so that's good news at least.

Guess it was unpopular. It's a shame the production staff couldn't put out a better product.

I have trouble watching this woman in general. She's so unusual looking and does that weird talking out of the side of her mouth thing.

They all have terrible names. I mean I guess talk shows always have but seeing a list of brand new ones makes it more apparent.
