After four years of working as a writer-contributor on The Daily Show and writer on Late Night With Seth Meyers, now it’s Michelle Wolf’s turn to host. Wolf has landed her own half-hour weekly Netflix talk show for premiere this year.

The untitled show will take a break from the seriousness of late-night comedy, Netflix says. Instead of making the news fun, she’ll make fun of everything and everybody. There will be no preaching or political agenda — unless it’s funny.

“You can expect the types of jokes my former bosses would tell me we couldn’t do on TV,” said Wolf.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Michelle, a gifted writer and performer with a singular voice,” said Netflix’s VP Content Bela Bajaria.

Michelle will executive produce through her Cats in Pants banner. Daniel Bodansky also will executive produce.
