History
TV series
Past
Wolf has worked at least twenty years in the showbiz, although he never changed his material over the years.[2] He would eventually join Comedy Chimp as his sidekick and cohost on the Comedy Chimp Show.
Season one
Wolf would do a number of shows together with Comedy Chimp, including the latter's "New Years Eve Rockin' Bananaganza."[5][6] As Wolf joined Comedy Chimp for a fan signing, the latter began noticing that he was past his prime. Wolf thus offered to fill in for Comedy Chimp while he got his cosmetic surgery to ensure no one could would steal his job. Instead, Knuckles was chosen, whom Wolf tutored and later committed to as the echidna was given Comedy Chimp's job. Once Knuckles quit, Wolf tried filling in as the show's host which ended disastrously as Comedy Chimp resumed his post.[2]
Eventually, Wolf was given his own "Wolf Sidekick Special" episode where he put on a mediocre show that nonetheless pleased the sidekick viewers.[7]
Personality
Wolf is very obsequious, throwing positive complements at everyone without holding any sense of loyalty in them, like casually abandoning Comedy Chimp despite supporting him several times. Though working in the showbiz, he is noted to be a talentless hack, having used the same shtick for two decades, including cliché one-liners. Despite this, he will gladly take a more active role in the Comedy Chimp Show, having tried to fill out the host position multiple times.[2] He is also an ideal spokesperson and role model for sidekicks as he is very relatable to such people.[7]
Trivia
