If you didn't catch it live
You have to admit, Michelle Wolf is fearless. But whether or not she helped the cause (I'm not completely sure of the cause, but she set back "know your audience" about 50 years) remains to be seen. Like in November. Like in how many unscheduled appearances she makes in Republican candidates' campaign advertisements. Oh well, watching her beats running down to the mailbox every afternoon to check on the hospital board ballots.
For comparison, because it's the one the press is currently comparing it to, view the first 15 minutes (the last 8 are an unfunny snooze) of Stephen Colbert's WHCA monologue from 2006. Note that Stephen was at least attempting to follow the roast format. His performance was also widely panned, but now, a dozen years later, he holds Letterman's spot on the Late Show. Topical comedy never ages well, but hard-working, proficient comedians manage to still get the gigs. Michelle Wolf isn't going anywhere, and neither is Donald Trump.
