Netflix canceled Michelle Wolf’s train wreck of a show … and there was great rejoicing.
Guess a bunch of gross, unfunny, tired, angry jokes combined with a dash of unoriginal, uninspired, third wave feminism just didn’t get the viewers Netflix thought they would. Who knew?
And we hate to break it to Jimmy Kimmel writer, Bess Kalb, but even if a man had tried to put this disaster of a show together it would have tanked. #SorryNotSorry
But you know, she had to try and play the sexist card.
Michelle Wolf’s cancellation goes to show if you’re a talk show host with great jokes and perfect sketches, it’s best if you’re not a woman.

*sigh*
Uhhh so how do you explain all the other successful shows (that are just as offensive) and lead by women? Do their voices not count?
— Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) August 19, 2018
Apparently not.
Joel McHale was exactly that – and his was cancelled, too.

HEH.
But sexism!!!
C’mon Bess, even Michelle’s fans thought the show was lacking.
To be honest, while a lot of her material was funny and witty, her voice was so shrill it made my brain hurt

Wait, so it’s not sexism?
Get outta here.
Have to disagree here. She was fantastic on The Daily Show. Her HBO show was great. This Netflix show was crap. I couldn’t get through one episode

Hrm.
I like Michelle Wolf. I could not get through the first episode. I just didn't find it funny.

Oopsie.
meh. maybe this is inflammatory, but the format was limiting and wasn’t a good spotlight for her talents. she didn’t suck. but it sucked. she’s worth better. maybe if we all speak up and say so, she’ll find it. SHE IS WORTH BETTER!!!!

K.
I enjoyed the show but they were trying too hard and it didn't seem to flow well. Thought they'd work out the kinks eventually but it wasn't bad enough to cancel. Was this another hit job by the right?

HA HA HA HA HA HAAA!
Yes, because the Right has so much influence over Netflix.
I’m a fan but that show was brutal

Her voice was so annoying, too. She’s great in small doses but she’s like a mixture between Gilbert Gotfried and Fran Drescher. I couldn’t make it through the pilot.

she’s no Samantha ?

Honestly I love her on the Daily Show but I just didn’t find her Netflix show funny

Which is technically pretty damn sexist but hey, what do we know?
Do you think it might have been that the ratings were bad?
— Riley (@riley) August 19, 2018
Ding ding ding.
She had a show on Netflix?
— Chris Vodola (@chrisvodola) August 19, 2018
Not for long.
It would help if she were a funny woman. And if she made sammiches.
— Scotty Potty (@HTX_Con) August 19, 2018
Sammiches make everything better.
Care to ask Carol Burnettes opinion on that?

But sexism!
