INTERVIEW: Comedian Michelle Wolf On Her New Netflix Special, Home Births, And That Infamous White House Correspondents Dinner. Wednesday, November 12th, 2025
Episode 1446
In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the hilarious and insightful Michelle Wolf. We dove into her latest Netflix special, "The Well," and reminisced about her unforgettable performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Michelle shared her journey from improv classes inspired by a visit to SNL to writing for "Late Night with Seth Meyers." We also explored her personal life, including her decision to have children during the pandemic and her experiences with home births. Michelle's candidness about the ethical dilemmas in comedy, particularly regarding a controversial invitation to perform in Riyadh, added depth to our conversation. Her humor and honesty made this episode a must-listen, and I highly recommend checking out her special on Netflix.
