Michelle Wolf, “The Daily Show’s” newest correspondent, did not take a traditional approach to her now burgeoning comedy career.
“I was a kinesiology major in college, which is exercise science,” Wolf told TheWrap. “Then, I was either going to get my Ph.D or go to medical school, but I was kind of burned out after school. My roommates had all gotten jobs on Wall Street, so they were like, ‘Come work with us on Wall Street! We’ll all live in New York for a couple of years.’”
That led to a job at Bear Stearnsย in March 2007, until that firm collapsed a year later amid a global financial meltdown.
