I saw her for the first time in “The Larry Sanders Show“. I know, I’m late, but still, she’s not super famous yet, so I feel it was still time for me to discover her and talk about it. Sarah Silverman is very funny, bold, sexy, clever, and if I married her we’d have jewish kids. In other words, she’s very cool.

Her movie/one-woman-show “Jesus Is Magic” is hilarious. She pulls the same strings over and over again, and you let yourself fall into her traps every time because you kinda like it. She jokes about everything — no, really, EVERYTHING — and she can make things funny that would otherwise be quite shoking. That’s talent. Don’t watch it if you are so politically correct that you think we can’t joke about everything�

A joke she told in a US talkshow:
Yeah, you know, I got a jury duty notice and, you know, I said there�s nothing funny about jury duty, you know. Except for the obvious, you know, the �duty� part. But �

I had to fill � you fill out a � you fill out a form. You send it in. You�re randomly selected. And I don�t wanna get selected for jury duty. So I�m filling out the form. And my friend said, �Why don�t you just write something really inappropriate, like, �I hate Chinks�?� And I said, �Yeah, that�s a good idea.� But when you think about it, I don�t want people to think that of me, you know? I just wanna get out of jury duty. So I just filled out the form, and I wrote, �I love Chinks.�

And for those who like Seinfeld, she was Kramer’s girlfriend in the 8th season…

Read more on her Wikipedia page, and that Rolling Stone article (which I haven’t read because I was just too lazy)

The funny thing about Sarah is that I already knew and loved her sister Laura Silverman from her (voice) character Laura in the very excellently funny animated TV show “Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist“. And then she was the reality show director in the really good sitcom/drama “The Comeback“. So now I just realised they are sisters, and it makes me happy.
