As a comedian and writer, Michelle Wolf is known for her time as a writer on The Daily Show, served as host to the White House Correspondents Dinner. As the host, she took the microphone to speak and moderate on numerous times.
Michelle did a fine job handling hosting duties, but it was her roast of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders that has people buzzing the most according to BBC.

Occasionally, at the White House Correspondents Dinner a roast may happen. At this year’s White House Correspondents Dinner, Michelle Wolf’s roast of Sarah Sanders will be remembered as one of the best in a long time.
Wolf’s roast of Sarah Sanders included several volleys at how the White House press secretary handles press briefings. Wolf pointed out the lies or misspeakings of Sarah Sanders. In the process, several members of the podium, as well as the audience sat in discomfort.
That discomfort was magnified when Michelle uttered the word “b***h” during her roast of Sarah Sanders. While Wolf was not referring to Sanders when she said the word, it is possible that members of the White House Correspondents Dinner audience felt that she was referring to Sanders.
Michelle Wolf’s brand of comedy during the White House Correspondents Dinner could have been viewed as blue by some. Others will deem her attack on members of the White House as necessary. There is a strong chance that this roast will further expand the divide between the White House and the press.

Michelle Wolf is not the first comedian to raise a stir at the annual dinner. In 2016, actor and comedian Keegan-Michael Key performed his famed character of Luther, the anger translator at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the New Yorker reported.
Missing at the White House Correspondents Dinner was the president himself. He would not have been pleased to hear Michelle Wolf’s continuous rants and roasts of him.
