The Sarah Silverman Program
January 26, 2007 by Kath Skerry
Sarah Silverman…what is there to say about Sarah Silverman? She’s a unique soul, I’ll give her that much. She’s one of the crudest, most vulgar, unapologetic comedians I’ve ever encountered, and I secretly love her.
Now Sarah has a new show on Comedy Central and it looks to be more of the same brash and sometimes bizarre behavior that has made Sarah what she is today (and all this time you thought she was just Jimmy Kimmel’s girlfriend).
The Sarah Silverman Program, which premieres on Thursday, Feb. 1st at 10:30pm EST, steps into the incredible world of Sarah Silverman as she goes about her life, which on any given day, can include taking in a homeless man, exploring her sexuality or encouraging a young girl to enter a pageant in order to fulfill her own childhood dreams.
Sarah plays a character named Sarah Silverman whose absurd daily life is told through an array of scripted scenes and song. In each episode, Sarah manages to fall into unique, sometimes unsettling and always hilarious predicaments, with her sister (played by real-life sister Laura Silverman), her geeky gay neighbors, Brian and Steve (Brian Posehn and Steve Agee) and Officer Jay (Jay Johnston) never far from her side.
Sarah Silverman isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, and her comedy is certainly not for kids, but I think this little missy is sassy, and you gotta love a girl with sass.

I LOVE her! I can’t wait to see this. I just read about in People today too! 🙂
I don’t know much about her other than the routine that she and a bunch of other comics did. I’ll check her program out!
I watched Sarah Silverman’s show last night and thought it was was phenomenal. OK, there were a lot of ka-ka jokes. But the humor was fresh, new, twisted. The writing was really fabulous.
