ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: All this attentionfrom the White HouseCorrespondentsDinner has been greatfor the launch of yourNetflix show.
Does itfeel that way?MICHELLE WOLF:I think its awesome!
If people hated what I did at the dinner, theyre really going to hate my show.
Did Netflix do their research before they greenlit the show?I pitched the show to Netflix.
I think they knew exactly who they were getting.
What will the format be?I call it topical stand-up.
Instead of the standard setup-punchline monologue jokes, I turn them into stand-up bits.
It will look more like a stand-up special than straight-to-camera delivery.
Were giving audience members little voting machines.
I ask them questions and take a stab at get their honest answers and opinions.
And then Ill have a desk segment.
I wont be interviewing anyone.
Its more like me and a comedian ranting.
I dont really like to dwell.
Hopefully, we can just keep doing that pop in of comedy but apply it to other things.
I anticipate people will watch it Sunday mornings.
Do you have a rolemodel in comedy?I really admire Chris Rock.
Clearly, hes one of the funniest humans to ever live.
I opened for him for a portion of his last tour.
It was inspiring to see someone work so hard after so many years in the business.
How did your experience at the WHCD change you?It made me confident.
Its fun to stand in a room and deliver the jokes you wanted to deliver.
Also, I wore a suit, and I totally understand now why people like suits.
A nice-fitting suit makes you feel good about yourself.
I always want to entertain my audience, but I also want other comics to like what Im doing.
You want approval from your peers.
Listening to you now,your voice isnt thathigh.
When Im on the phone I always try not to hurt peoples ears.
Watch a new teaser forThe Breakabove.
