I was reading an article on Sarah Silverman this week inBust Magazine(which is a marvelous magazine by the way ) . comedian expend so much time attempt to be " on " that I have a real easygoing spot for when they ’re being true . In any case , I think Silverman is a ace , and though I ’d read up on her before , here are a distich of thing I was struck by .
1) She’s been fired by Fax Machine
I ’m always stunned by people who come into their own at such a young age . At 17 , Silverman was already working nighttime clubs in New Hampshire , and at just 21 , she was hired as a dramatis personae member onSNL . While it is n’t unprecedented for the show ( Anthony Michael Hall was 17 , Eddie Murphy was 19 ) , I ’d forgotten just how young she was when she was already appall the public . Weirder still is the direction in which she was let go . Lorne Michaels is notorious for make poor decisions in how he ’s let multitude go . on the face of it , in Sarah Silverman ’s case , she take of her end point via fax .
2) There are things she won’t Joke About
While rape and abortion are topics Silverman is happy to take on , she draw the line at making fat jokes about women . From the profile : " fertile men in our society still deserve love , and fat women do n’t . So what ’s the appeal of making fun of that ? " Further , while she ’s surprisingly frank about her bed - wet problems and bouts with depression , her relationships ( particularly her recent break - up ) is off - limits .
3) She thinks Kathy Griffin is funny
I ’ve heard Silverman bristle in interviews at people who undersell other comedian ( Dane Cook , for instance ) , but I was pleasantly surprised by her take on theVanity Fairpiece on the " Queens of Comedy . " Disappointed by the clause ’s stress on distaff comic ' looks over the character of their stuff ( she was described as " aphrodisiac " and " coquettish " obviously ) , Silverman was even more flustered by the woman who were n’t get over . While Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were rightly profile , she was overturn by the deletion of Kathy Griffin . In her own words , " When Kathy Griffin was n’t there , I was horrified … I guess because she ’s a loudmouth , the great unwashed do n’t respect her for how glorious she is . "
