Sarah Silverman on Jonathan Ross PT1

Sarah Silverman's chat show appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on Friday 17th October 2008

[@ypreschieftain]

Blooming good stuff, and very fast. Thanks from a Royal Marine Iraq, we need more of this fast utubing, pls go on!

[@pemchem]

"oh you must!" haha love the way she says that

[@MrTraffix]

Well done, Watson. I couldn´t have firgured it out, without you. I´ll hand myself over, to the department of humor. They´ve been searching for me for a long time.

[@PurushaDesa]

I think she's one of the ballsiest comedians out there. She does stuff that you can only get away with in animated form - South Park and Family Guy etc..

[@jojuinc]

Man, what a good show! I love all those guests!

[@YTviewer118]

I love Sarah, Everyone thinks she tries hard and she's not funny but I honestly think its her awkwardness that makes her adorable.

[@trugangsta4real]

Holy Shit! Three of the greatest people ever all at once!

[@j_freed]

Sarah Silverman brilliantly uses all her beauty to awkwardly & effortlessly beguile, contriving a persona you want to believe deep down. Because she thought of everything she's doing here, you see. Nothing she does is without art. And she's not trying to be anything but what she wants, right out there on the edge. Amazing. I can't stop grinning.

[@KyloRen4238]

Happy B-day Sarah Silverman. Your beautiful. UR amazing legend. I love Space Jams A New Legacy, Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Evolution, The Simpsons, Futurama Bender Big Score, American Dad and Drawn Together. Wreck-It Ralph and Evolution is awesome. Love u Vanellope. May the Peace be with u Vanellope, Michelle, Bleh. From Harlingen Texas. December 1, 1970 December 1, 2022 through December 1, 3022

[@KaitainCPS]

I love the way that Americans always refer to the UK as 'England'.

[@dramaticafantastica]

i can't watch the intro without thinking of kevin bishop's impression haha "ladies and gentlemen, mr wicky gervais"

[@JustinSosa]

Dear God...best talk show guest lineup in history.

[@kublkun]

im from new Hampshire YAY!!!!

[@eezysqueezy]

The fact you came back with a reply which contained nothing that counters the point I actually made says enough in itself.

[@xdd91x]

what a great line up!

[@memonk11]

Oh you're so right. The show is obviously shot in the Republic of Norther Ireland and not in England itself. And I always love the air of superiority in those who live in countries where there is no private property and all live subject to the crown's will. It must be great living in a theocracy masquerading as a constitutional monarchy, And it sure was nice of that queen of yours to give you a constitution and everything.

[@janotosinnumeros]

Me too, but unfortunately in an interview with Howard Stern, she said she doesn't do that.

[@LyricalWax]

I agree with you about Jasper carrot, but seriously, Omid is hilarious. He has all the British/ethnic/Muslim observational comedy down to an tee. And he has acted in many films all over the world so has a wealth of experience to draw from.

[@otnaim]

I want the complete interview!!

[@GenteelCretin]

Just saw the comments took a fierce nosedive. Fantastic.

[@Vyxihd]

I love her so much because she's soo good at pretending to be clueless and awkward. Hahahaha.

[@Niko060688]

Thank you for telling me...

[@IsleFreeThinker1]

I may not be religious, but I believe that deserves a hallelujah!

[@david552]

@Paul07791 I'm a Brit too ;-) I was really obsessed with Bill Hicks for a while when I was a teenager, and I have 3 of his albums on CD (recorded in US) and a Channel 4 concert video recorded in the UK, and the interaction between Hicks and the audience is (I think) subtly and noticeably different - even when he's fighting a US audience, BH seems far more comfortable and tuned in than with a positive UK audience.

[@SprigofDill]

I met her in Barnes and Noble. All i could think of was "where's the bathroom?" ( i had to go)

[@digidean]

She DID NOT get booed off stage. Everyone enjoyed her show, it was just a little short.

[@dovestones]

Jonathon Ross practically runs the BBC. No one could get him out.

[@HoneyIEducatedTheWeb]

You know that Tangify blocked me and I was trying to show her, on her video, that I too would have been a feminist in the UK, back in the 50's and 60's. But it's gotten to the point where it's not about equality - it is about getting men to bow down to women. You cannot criticise a woman. You cannot hit a woman in self-defence. You face pressures with regards to getting a job. More pressure to support her. And have you ever chatted to women online? They care more about looks than they let on.

[@memonk11]

"How far your country has fallen from its glory days of opportunity and freedom in the 50s through to the 70s" Again, it shows the validness of your points. Regretable there was segregation in the 50/60's. and the country still has remnants of it, But people as a whole are much free'er now than ever before. You might learn about that in the Canadian colony if you weren't all lily white. Oh , how do those pesky Quebecois feel about being part of the empire?

[@uncleterry1703]

Oh man, she was fine back then!!

[@dionst.michael768]

Sarah Silverman is the only reason I ever thought it would be awesome to be famous. Maybe then she would let me ask her out to dinner. 'sigh'

[@postretta]

I'm british and I love Sarah Silverman, I dont think its a case of where your from, I personally dont rate jonathan ross that highly, but I think there characters clashed. Most American interviewers just sit there looking nervous, it takes alot more to shock a brit I think.

[@sirjaunty1]

Anybody here remember Sarah in Star Trek Voyager? She played a character called Raine. Check her out in that she ain't changed a bit.

[@MrJerryRio]

Sarah is too much, she is a riot. IF you like her comedy check this guy out! Watch Jerry Rio as he does conducts his outrageous "Man On the Street" interviews like nobody else. Probing questions, irreverent, quick witted responses and hilarious observations will keep you entertained. Observe Jerry as he interacts with a never ending parade of sarcastic New Yorkers conducting conversations that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

[@ranmeenx]

oh my god she is so funny and cute at the same time! Am I in love with Sara?!

[@goodywin]

Seriously, she is so funny to me.

[@Galactic123]

Hilarious the way she shakes her head when he calls Gervais and Ramsay "Big big stars"

[@definitelyeric]

What she isn't saying is as brilliant as what she is saying.

[@Lacieob22]

Ricky has the best laugh. It is so great.

[@AhYaOk]

I agree. I dont want to come across as anti-UK, because I'm not, but there are differences of course. Culture is an interesting thing.

[@hellakooked]

WHERE'S PART 2 I'M FREAKING OUT

[@eezysqueezy]

All the great comedians are men. This is undeniable.

[@hoffnerburns]

I'm a Brit. She's wonderful.

[@HoneyIEducatedTheWeb]

I've changed my mind. Silverman said a joke the other day on Twitter: "Watch out guys, Jesus is coming back. Oops! Jesus is coming on my back*" Such advanced humour.

[@ThereGoesKitty]

i mean i hope it airs in the uk

[@Alino17]

She's great. Such great comic timings... she stands the all-brit context pretty well and impredictably playing the naive

[@nemesis1ization]

lol!!that deserves a thumbs up

[@moonlily1]

@newcoyote I've heard about the article; I've read responses to it, but I've not read the article itself. It was in 'Vanity Fair', wasn't it?

[@koldtoft]

Well im not jewish. Not even religius. I dont want ANY jewish media and I Love her humor. It's inteligent as hell.

[@eezysqueezy]

I'll give you Roseanne Barr (a very funny woman indeed). The rest of them either are not stand up comedians or are simply not that funny. Tina Fey, maybe passes muster....but Rhea Pearlman... Really? A one note joke from a show that was huge 25 years ago, and this is who you bring to the discussion on great comedians. You have rather hilariously actually PROVED my point for me.

[@altoid2k4]

That's her style of comedy, I'm glad you guys figured out you don't like her but plenty of people still do. I think it's hard when American humor is on a foreign show or vice versa, the humor is different and there is going to be people who don't under stand it, like almost everyone here who said bad things are not from America.

[@ElkeTV1]

Sarah rocked that interview. She had Gordon Ramsey crackin' up.

[@christophermartin8685]

Internet text-speak is considered informal, and therefore allows such words as, "plz."

[@plasmoplasmoplasmoer]

i love how she laughed about the horse thing..though didnt understand XD

[@laurendelore]

I love Sarah Silverman and Ricky Gervais seems to like her too.

[@janotosinnumeros]

She's sooooo funny. I love her.

[@CheddarBob39]

I think it makes him more likeable, it makes him funnier. And he would be funny without it, not saying he wouldn't be.

[@damslainte]

Yeah for sure, I was just really referring to it in general terms. However I think he was pointing out the same thing I stated that they do always bring it up.

[@Arborverden]

I think she is the funniest women in the wowld wight now.

[@lehman]

I'd assume so since they also have many others words that differ between American and British English.

[@dooovde]

What was shocking exactly??? She's just very funny. One of her funniest moments was when she was shaking her head in disbelief that Ricky Gervais and Gordon Ramsey are famous in America...yea...that's so damn shocking.

[@ThereGoesKitty]

i lov sarah does anyone know when the second series starts

[@AznRUs]

I'm surprise she didn't put the time she went to the uk in her book.

[@ThereGoesKitty]

yeah i lov sarah does any one know when the seconde series of her show starts

[@ElDshtonco]

SO MUCH CHARISMA

[@freedomland11]

I met Sara Silverman in Manhattan(New York) 1 year ago. She was soo nice. Met her at a coffee shop, drinking with her friend. I noticed her right off da bat, and I said "Are u Sara" she said "I wish, that bitch is hot" hahahaha!!! and we chatted for about 5 minutes, she complimented on my looks, and my hands. For some reason she loves Big hands!! ;)~~~...I wish I can meet her again!!!

[@Jenndxx]

I know ya GASHBIT, when people think of the english the first thing that springs to mind is how funny you all are. Everybody knows that you english are just hilarious. America has MOST of the funniest and well respected comedians in the world. Out of my top 10 comedians 7 are american. Their humour is universal, everyone gets it. But at least you're on par with the yanks when it comes to your politicians and leaders.

[@KaitainCPS]

Also, despite Americans being taught in school that they live in the most free country in the world, the data suggest otherwise. For example, The Economist's compiled data suggest that the US is ranked #18 in the world for civil liberties and political freedoms, behind a whole slew of constitutional monarchies (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Canada, Australia, the UK, The Netherlands, New Zealand etc). The US talks a good game, but in recent years your civil liberties have been eroded.

[@stuart38]

this girl has a lot of guts.she completely blew the froth off paris hilton's so called image at an awards show.search for it on youtube.hilton didn't know where to look.its the "paris hilton's going to jail" bit.priceless.

[@memonk11]

England. Where you don't need to be able to pronounce the letter "R" to host a chat show.

[@brendel99]

I'm Jewish, the question isn't offensive but it is uncomfortable if you don't have a prepared answer, the first one that would come to mind is that personally as a Jew I find Jews more interesting than anybody else, lol. But then you'd have to scratch that and find a second answer (I think), I guess she didn't have one.

[@HeadlightMorningGlow]

Yeah, but he wasn't rating her on her basis of humour being Jewish, he was saying "too bad" to her BEING Jewish.

[@Alino17]

Indeed friend. And funny nearly asmuch so, sometimes. I speak from Italy, all the cultural limits implied, mut I really enjoyed this video featuring english males clearly enjoying -and teasing- the yankee star

[@Blacktolite]

She's called Silverman because Jews used to collect silver and gold in ancient time that's why you get Goldman and Silverman and Jews own jewellery stores till this day.

[@thomasnikolaus4395]

Love her dress!

[@7thgradeviolin]

Yeah, because the Europeans love each other so much right now.

[@HeadlightMorningGlow]

He's an absolute hero man ! You should try watching an episode of Extra's - he enlists various celebrities to play satirical characters of themselves; it might make it easier for you to separate it as fictional. Not having a go and saying you're dumb by saying "make it easier" btw, I know cringe-humour's an acquired taste, just a suggestion!

[@MrTraffix]

Oh yes. Thank you very much^^ I´m still right, so call me what ever you want.

[@Paul07791]

@david552 Don't underestimate how much we Brits know about America. We are bombarded with American culture alllllllllll the time. Not a bad thing; America produces the best TV dramas in the world. Anyway, Bill Hicks is totally revered by myself, my friends etc... he's the best.

[@dooovde]

Think this is the first time I've seen Ross out of his league...her jokes just went over his head. Silverman on 8 out of 10 cats a few nights back was 100 times funnier. She's gotta be the funniest woman alive today, the first I'd actually pay to go see.

[@bingefeller]

Agreed!

[@KaitainCPS]

A lot of her cultural references are not picked up on so easily by Brits.

[@newcoyote]

@moonlily1 I think that person was referring to a tongue in cheek piece done by Christopher Hitchens called 'Why Women Still Aren't Funny". Sarah Silverman was in it. Obviously Hitchens was not actually suggesting the title at face value. Still, the person you are replying to did not consider very well the out of context tone.

[@devrup63]

yup! (I'm hoping it wasn't a rhetorical question...apologies if it was)

[@MrTraffix]

Ah yes, very interesting. Plz tell me more.

[@dooovde]

You're telling me you're a rugby league player and you've not done that??? You must be the first.

[@thentherewas]

That would take a hell of a lot of banning.

[@dooovde]

lolz "thank you for ha...for having me"

[@stephsbis]

think she was actually offended when she pulled out the "yeidel diedel diedel"

[@dooovde]

They're in the third season now.

[@Furrowbrow]

I accept the point. And the comedy shows you've mentioned are all fairly universal, yes. The problem specifically with Silverman is the fact that she bases a lot of her act on the fact that she's Jewish, which simply doesn't have that much mileage. We already know the steriotypes.. we aren't going to find steriotype-based humour amusing. It's just not original.

[@Kataang101]

I love Ricky's laugh

[@corgythompy]

Bagel.

[@riseagainphoenix]

I don't want to get into the crazy misogynistic fight over the ability of women to be funny, but I just want to point out that The Ricky Gervais PISSES HIMSELF LAUGHING at Sarah Silverman's gags.

[@snaz76]

I´m pretty sure she understood every word

[@maddy5992]

@glitzy101 Yeah I totally agree. She's "joking" around i.e. you're not meant to take what she's saying seriously. Obviously there are comedians who take it too far, and the joke isn't funny only rude/offensive. But she never goes that far, she toys with the line, but never crosses it.

[@brendel99]

That's interesting, because everybody else has it the other way around, that SS was the one out of her depth...

[@memonk11]

Yes!!! She's mine. See, I always knew Canadians are great!

[@markwb0]

A total jewish princess.
