00:07After working on Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah for nearly

00:12half a decade, rising comedian Michelle Wolfe has landed a late-night show of her own,

00:17The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned. Wolfe is set to host her own weekly program

00:22on Netflix. The streaming giant is calling Wolfe's show a break from the seriousness

00:26of late-night comedy. Netflix is already making a considerable push in the talk show space

00:31with entries from David Letterman and Joel McHale. The yet-to-be-named show will launch later

00:36this year and is expected to make fun of everything and everyone, but with seemingly

00:41no preaching or political agenda, unless it's funny. In a statement on Monday, she joked,

00:46"...you can expect the types of jokes my former bosses would tell me we couldn't do on TV."

00:51Though Wolfe is still somewhat of a fresh face on the stand-up circuit, she has already earned

00:55the respect of several comedic heavyweights, or former heavyweights, including Louis CK and

01:01Chris Rock, who hired her to write for his Oscar ceremony. The announcement comes about

01:06two months after Wolfe earned rave reviews for her first stand-up special, Nice Lady,

01:10which aired on HBO.

01:12Men, you're done! It's over! There's nothing new for you to do!

01:18The special gave her her highest platform so far to tackle subjects ranging from feminism,

01:23to dating, and other social issues. In addition to her work on The Cable Network's Daily Show,

01:28Wolfe created and starred in two digital series, now hiring and used people for the Viacom Network.

01:34Dan Powell, known for Inside Amy Schumer, and Christine Nangle, known for her work on The

01:39President Show and The Mic, will serve as co-showrunners on the Netflix series, with Wolfe's

01:44manager Daniel Bodansky joining them as an executive producer.

01:48So what do you think of Michelle Wolfe getting her own show? Are you looking forward to a new

01:53late-night option? Let us know in the comments. For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Neha Joy.
