Netflix Cancels 'The Break' with Michelle Wolf
PJ Media ^ | 18 Aug 2018 | Michael Walsh

Hard to believe, I know, but Netflix has canned the supremely unfunny Michelle Wolf's "comedy" show after a brief run:

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.

The streaming service also ended the short-lived Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, but it was the news about Wolf’s show that came as a much bigger shock. That’s because, when The Break premiered in May, Wolf was riding higher than pretty much any other comedian in the country after her breakthrough performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. As recently as last week White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was still talking about how much her jokes stung.

"Stung." Right. "Jokes." Right.

At the time, the general consensus was that she was suddenly a hot commodity and Netflix was lucky to have her after she decided to leave first Late Night with Seth Meyers and then The Daily Show. Now, after just 10 episodes, Netflix has decided not to order any more.

A face for radio. Unfortunately her voice is incredibly grating too.

Unlike the broadcast networks, Netflix knows exactly how many people watch all of their shows. In this case, you could probably count the entire audience on your fingers.

Let us hope they break any contract they have with the Obamas. One can hope. LOL I’m looking to switch over to another service, provided I can find one not as stupid as Netflix. If another one is not on the horizon then it’s back to buying DVDs.

I’ve got better info than that: I know exactly which studio here in L.A. they shot the episodes and the production crew hated the bitch. NF thought they could ride the Trump notoriety but just like most trump hating idiots, they are not talented at all.

It IS hard to believe.

Maybe she can use this time off to pick up a Bible and wise-up a bit.

Whoa, such a bummer.

One wonders if her viewer is upset.
