Sarah Silverman Interview and Sneak Peek!
Punchline Magazine interviews Sarah Silverman about the SSP, her pretty mouth and life in these United States. Wait, that last part was something I read in the Reader's Digest. So, just the first two things. Here's an excerpt:
In the first episode of The Sarah Silverman Program you and your sister bond over a show called Cookie Party. You don’t really describe what the show is about on the episode, but if Cookie Party really existed, what type of show would it be?
We imagined it as a public access show hosted by a character Rob Schrab [who works as a writer, producer and director on The Sarah Silverman Program] does named Minnie Coffee. She's a kind of Southern belle transvestite and she just presents the viewer with about 10 different kinds of cookies each week and the viewer votes for the one they like best. But you don't ever see any of that— though maybe you will in the future.
At least three writers have mentioned as an aside that you have a “pretty mouth,” which almost sounds kind of creepy. How would you react if a guy came up to you in a bar and said, “You have a pretty mouth?”
I’m thrilled by any compliments. What kind of asshole do you think I am? Many years ago it was summer and I was walking on the street in New York City and some guys on the street whistled. I whipped my head back at them, annoyed, and they said, ‘Not you.’ Since then I appreciate anything I can get.
You talk a lot about your religion in your act. How has being a Jewish comic helped your career?
I don't know. I run Hollywood?
Would you ever give up stand-up in favor of a career in movies and TV?
I don't see any reason why you have to give up one for the other. It's like giving up being a Sagittarius so that I can have black hair.

and Andy Thomas, what the hell is a kid you are concerned about watching comedy central after, say 9 pm? administer the meds after you turn off the TV, Mr. Sensitivity, and don't forget to take your birth control pill Andy.

It's a real drag when you can't watch comedy central because every five minutes there is a clip of Sarah Silverman's show that involves her joking about AIDS to a class of children. Especially when you have a young child losing the fight against AIDS watching your channel. How cruel and heartless this women is and how irresponsible of you to allow this? But it's all about the ratings, no matter what it takes. Right? You people have no shame but I still wouldn't wish this desease on you or for you to experience everyone's jokes that pull no punches even if you are an innocent child.
if arnold was being sarcastic he did too good a job of it. methinks he was serious.
Jesus Christ, "Arnold"! Maybe you need to read the Literal Meaning Insider Blog, for posts that contain no… um, what are they called… jokes. This isn't the "exact words" episode of The Brady Bunch. It's a fucking comedy blog.
Wait, were you being sarcastic, too? I couldn't tell.
Excuse me, but it is a MYTH that Jewish people run Hollywood. There are plenty of gentile executives and filmmakers within the hallowed halls of Tinsletown.
If young Ms. Silverman truly believes that she "runs Hollywood," as she claims, then she is even more ignorant that many of those African American rap musicians who claim the only way out of poverty is through gang violence. Neither is true.
Join the 21st Century, deary.
