In 2017, Wolf debuted her first hour-long stand-up special, Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady, on HBO.

She received a Primetime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special."
Wolf created and served as the executive producer, writer, and host of the critically-acclaimed variety sketch series The Break with Michelle Wolf on Netflix. Prior to The Break, Wolf was an on-air contributor and writer for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and a writing supervisor and performer on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she also made her late-night television debut in July 2014.
