SARAH SILVERMAN -- "ONE FINE-LOOKIN' JEW"
An interview conducted by Josh Horowitz
May 12, 2003
When you?re a stand-up comic seemingly on the rise in a tough business, eager to make a mark, one probably wouldn?t recommend using a racial epithet used for Chinese people before a national late night network audience. Then, again, you?re not likely to get the bitingly caustic takes on humanity that Sarah Silverman delivers from too many making the comedy rounds nowadays.

Silverman has come to be known for a number of reasons. Her famous 2001 appearance on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O?BRIEN is one, as is her subsequent clash with Guy Aoki, the president and co-founder of the Media Action Network for Asian Americans. For those who follow comedy, she?s tough to miss, acting in THERE?S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, or pranking (sorry Ashton, not Punking) the unsuspecting on Comedy Central?s CRANK YANKERS.
She?s also one half of a new comedic couple to be reckoned with. Her boyfriend is the newest late night host, Jimmy Kimmel. Silverman?s next stop is New York City where she?s bringing her one-woman show, JESUS IS MAGIC, to The Zipper Theater. Presumably trying to head off a restraining order, Silverman agreed to answer a few of my questions via e-mail.
Josh Horowitz: If I'm choosing between seeing GYPSY and JESUS IS MAGIC in New York now, what should I do? Can you make a compelling case for your show?
Sarah Silverman: Well, I want to see GYPSY, because I'm a total musical theater fag, but, if you are a musical theater fag, but want to seem cooler while still seeing musical theater, you can see my show, which is sure to offend, but also has some music and singing. Not too much--just enough to be awesome.
JH: You recently signed a development deal with HBO. What's your show going to be about?
SS: It's about a suburban family whose father is the head of the mob.
JH: Did any of your Chinese friends give you hell for the infamous "joke" that got you in hot water when you were on Conan?

SS: No--not at all! (I don't have any Chinese friends.) The truth is, the sheep that follow that guy, Guy Aoki, hate me, but I have lots of Asian fans and have been stopped many times by Asian people who tell me they think I'm funny and that Guy Aoki does not represent their opinion. I tried to do a sketch about Guy Aoki in an early incarnation of my show, and when I was casting it, there were a lot of Asian actors who didn't want to do it, even though they thought it was funny, because they were afraid that this guy (Guy) would have them fucking blacklisted from acting. He's supposed to be an advocate for Asians in media, and he's a fucking threatening douche bag with father issues. (His dad owns Bennihanas and his sister is a super-hot model.) He is a nerd with a porno moustache.
JH: Between CRANK YANKERS and GREG THE BUNNY, you've been a part of at least two puppet shows on TV. Anything we should know?
SS: Puppets are into ass-play.
JH: You were hired by SNL at 22. Can you sum up the experience for me?
SS: It was good. The nightmare stories are all true, but it was good. Made me so strong after that year of getting my confidence beaten out of me. Heals like a broken bone, you know?
JH: You've been doing this comedy thing for a while. Any subjects that are off limits for your act?
SS: I've been threatened not to do any ?Kevin Smith is gay? jokes. I never even thought he was gay until the day I was roughed up and told, "don't do any fucking ?Kevin Smith is gay? jokes!! Don't even think about it!!" and then left for dead with a single pink rose dropped on my face. I looked up and saw the shape of a heart made by the silhouette of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon kissing. That's the last thing I remember.

Not hot.

For some reason, I don't find any female comedians hot.

She's got those huge eyebrows and looks like a dude in the face.

Plus the voice just grates on you.

I think Thump just summed up my feelings on her.

She's got a decent body but not enough to overcome that deadly face/voice combo.

People who perform on stage often develop a "stage voice" which may be quite a bit different than her actual voice.
But, she is what she is.
Not everyone's cup of tea.
I get her.
Humor is always sexy.
