Michelle Wolf (born June 21, 1985) is an American comedian and writer from New York City, who is a contributor for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Early life

Wolf grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania.[1] She graduated from Hershey High School in 2003, and the College of William & Mary in 2007, where she majored in kinesiology.[2] Wolf was on the track and field team while in high school and college, and participated in the high jump, triple jump, and 400 meter sprint before an injury caused her to stop competing.[2][3]

Career

Wolf worked at Bear Stearns from 2007 to 2008, and later at JPMorgan Chase, for a total of almost four years between the two banks.[4][5] Her first time appearing on late-night television was in July 2014, when she appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She went on to re-appear on numerous segments on Late Night, often as her fictional persona, "Grown-Up Annie." She later held multiple additional positions at the same show, including, most recently, writing supervisor.[6][7] In November 2015, Comedy Central released the entirety of Now Hiring, a web series hosted by Wolf, on YouTube.[8] Wolf is a regular at the legendary Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village NYC. She joined The Daily Show with Trevor Noah as a contributor in April 2016.[9] In August 2016, she performed her stand-up show So Brave at the Edinburgh Festival, which was her first time performing outside North America.[10]

Wolf's television work in the United Kingdom also includes an appearance on Live At The Apollo in late 2016 and an appearance as a panelist on the UK comedy game show 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown in early 2017, partnering team captain and British stand-up comedian Jon Richardson. She appeared on the same show later on in the year, this time partnering Sean Lock. On 20th November 2016, Wolf appeared as a guest on Frankie Boyle's American Autopsy on BBC2, reflecting on the result of the 2016 US Presidential Election.[11]
