Michelle Wolf assures old boss Seth Meyers that the right people will hate her new show
Back in her old stomping ground as a now sought-after guest, former Late Night With Seth Meyers writer Michelle Wolf spent an enjoyable evening stomping all over both old boss Meyers and those still squealing after Wolf’s foot-stomping at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. After Meyers congratulated Wolf for her controversial-to-the-right-people performance, the comic deadpanned her thanks, claiming, “It went great and every single person loved it.” Prior to sitting down with Meyers, Wolf popped into Meyers’ recurring bit “Jokes Seth Can’t Tell” alongside her former Late Night colleagues Amber Ruffin and Jenny Hagel to show off some of her signature off-color jokes. There, she responded to Meyers’ own attempt at a boundary-pushing one-liner by echoing the White House Correspondents’ Association’s infamously spineless apology for her on-target act at the dinner, stating, “That was not in the spirit of the event.”
