Last night, Comedy Central aired the season finale of "The Sarah Silverman Program," and many viewers are in an uproar. Why all the fuss? I'm guessing it has something to do with a scene in the show that depicts Sarah Silverman (played by Silverman) and God (played by Tucker Smallwood) having sex. Oh, and Smallwood is a black man.
Silverman
Oh, your pants are over there. I mean, not like I'm asking you to leave. I just mean, like if you can't see it from this angle of still being in my bed.
God
Right, I should go.
I'm not yet sure if it's the fact that the episode had God having sex or that God was portrayed as a black man that has everyone in up in arms, but what I do know is Sarah Silverman is funny.
Silverman is a rarity in the comic industry in that she's a successful female comic and appeals to a large variety of people. The small variety of course being people who do not like to laugh. Watching Silverman perform is just like hanging with guys. Assuming that you hang out with guys and that those guys are Jewish, write comedy, perform stand-up, and have vaginas.
"The Sarah Silverman Program" airs on Comedy Central, Wednesday nights at 10:30 and you can be Sarah's friend on Myspace.
