New York – Interview With Sarah Silverman Part 2

Here’s Sarah asleep on the couch in Jimmy Kimmel’s dressing room. Kimmel writer Steve Agee made a penis out of fruit because he is immature.

Sarah Silverman: Hey “Dry Your Eyes” just came on my iPod. You guys turned me on to the Streets. (Unbeknownst to you…)

VICE: Yeah but you’re in L.A. Nobody’s heard of anything in L.A. That’s like someone in Mongolia saying you turned them on to lamb.
I don’t get it. Lamb is about all they eat in Mongolia. You should have said Bluetoothing.

Shit. You’re right. Hey, you said you’re poor but you’re dating Jimmy Kimmel. What’s it like dating a guy that makes $10 million a year?
I have no clue. Wait, does Jimmy make $10 million a year?

He did Windy City Heat, our favorite movie of all time (besides Jesus is Magic). I get the feeling you’re not so into it. Like you feel it’s too mean to Perry or something.
I think it’s brilliant. BRILLIANT. But sometimes my heart can’t take it. I get sad when everyone else is CRYING from laughing.

Speaking of sad, I remember you were bummed about that Rolling Stone article because you thought you came out looking slutty and they basically repeated your whole act.
It’s awesome when a big giant magazine wants to write a big article about you being great or something, but then it sucks when they go ahead and blow your whole wad in it. You want them to quote your jokes here and there, but they practically transcribed my show.

You have to admit you got your money’s worth out of Jesus is Magic though. How long were you doing that shit?
It had all these different hone-y incarnations, but the first time I did it was July or August of 2001 (I remember it was like a month before 9-11).

Did Jesus is Magic lead to you getting your own show? Please say yes because I said that in the intro.
It helped a lot. I showed them the first scene, the scene with Brian and Laura through the song and said I’d like to do a show version of this but with no stand up.

On the show do you get to do whatever you want? We heard some pretty funny AIDS jokes have been floating around.
They’re letting us get away with great stuff, though sometimes their notes boggle my mind. I honestly can’t get my fucking head around what they are thinking other than, “Please God, don’t let me get fired” or “How can I cover my ass if this show crashes and burns?” But then again, I’m offended any time anyone tells me what is funny or what I can and can’t do comedically, and that’s part of the bargain when you decide to do a television show. Even on cable there are still commercials and those commercials are your mother and father. As long as you are living under their roof, they make the rules.

You can be a real Grumpy McGrumperton when you don’t have pot. Why don’t you drink. What’s so great about pot?
Alcohol makes me sick. Wish it didn’t. But, you’re right. I need that drink after a show to chill out but I can’t have it, so I take a puff. Though, you can make a girl cunty just from having to endure the occasional extra loud judginess of your thoughts. It pierces out your cokehead eyes and catapults off of your highly groomed moustache into the atmosphere.

Sarah Silverman’s Jesus is Magic the DVD is out now and the CD is out too and that’s relevant because the CD has shit in it the DVD does not have. PS: Please go here right now and watch the trailer.
