Sarah Silverman's "Demented" Comedy

Katie Couric sat down for a recent interview with Comedienne Sarah Silverman. The two discussed her Comedy Central show "The Sarah Silverman Program," her difficult childhood, and the breakup with boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel. This is an extended version of the Sunday Morning piece with lots more interview packed in!

I cannot understand how ANYONE doesn't find this woman funny as F! She just floors me. xx

[@alexkx8599]

Because she is a disgusting creature?

Because she became a hypocritical sjw

[@tracyfortune3297]

@@deadschooled I understand your view. No one is perfect and it's odd how people can hold some views which seem contradicting to the rest of their views and not see it. Still think she's funny. But to each, their own.

[@CrazyPandaCow]

I think her humor is so different form what people are used to these days, that some people just don't like it. But for those of us that can appreciate it, shes pretty great.

[@greedyforlaughs7013]

I love this woman so much. She had me cracking up throughout this vid. I really really love her.

[@normi66]

WOW!! What a great interview!! I liked Sarah before but now I love her. Her comedic sense is unbelievable. Great job Katie. Thanks for always pushing the envelope and bringing us, your loyal fans, great material.

[@Tanru2000]

I've just finished watching all the seasons of the Sarah Silverman Program. I loved it!!

[@rhondak6731]

Great interview. I love that Katie truly appreciates Sarah’s humor 👍🏻😊

[@Sunsetstitching]

I watched her show when I was like 10 and she changed my humor forever

[@deadschooled]

Wow, you have bad parents…

I was a little older, but same lol. Between her and Space Ghost and Tim and Eric...

Thank you for posting this video Katie! I missed it on Sunday.

[@tarashaw1284]

She made Katie snort!! lol

[@JustPassingBy2010]

Excellent interview , thanks KatieCouric ! Keep them coming...

[@Trag1cMag1c]

I love how expressive her face is! Fantastic comedian! Pretty lady.

[@friend2y0u]

Sarah Silverman is razor sharp funny. Her humor is like a very good honey/ mustard. It sits on the edge of on one side having the sweetness of typical humor but on the other side adding ingredients that in normal circumstances would burn or be unpleasant by themselves, but when mixed with the sweetness can become very addicting. She is a brilliant comedian.

[@lbritton1022]

"and I had to wait the rest of the hour for my mom to pick me up...." HAHAHAHA!

Anto Ma She's good looking, fearless, and hilarious. What do you do?

[@SCT1976]

Are people tripping? How come this video only rates like 2 stars? It's a wonderful interview with one of the funniest people I ever came across! Thank you for uploading this!

[@MrUndenied]

She is so incredible. I don't know how she can keep a straight face when she's telling such jokes.

[@ronoc9]

Anyone else laugh at the absurdity of the hanging part?

[@thomaslodge5432]

no.

[@radkohanzad6136]

I was more concerned by the use of the word "hung" rather than "hanged"

[@wealthychef]

It's not just her style; it's also her incredible levels of talent, skill and energy as a performer. She is AMAZING.

[@briancox9357]

To describe depression as "I felt homesick, but I was at home" really nails it.

[@2tsimp]

Sarah is beautiful!!!!

[@annerako]

I love Sarah. She's an incredibly smart comic but sadly her humor is lost on a lot of people. In her stand-up (and in her show, obviously) she's playing an alternate persona of herself, like Colbert used to do on his show. I don't get all the hate! Her book delves deeper into a lot of the things she talks about here, highly recommend.

[@heinekristiansen5330]

Jess! Whats whith all the intense hate? Jesus there is a lot of american trolls.. Like inbred trolls that cant understand an ACT vs emotional debt.

[@lukerobin7482]

Hardly.

[@MaddenManification]

In the show, she's like a female version of Pee Wee Herman. Wide eyed innocent who breaks the wall, addresses camera. Very funny woman.

[@sawdustcaesar6853]

to me not sad because i think she might like it that way-kinda like an inside joke for those that do get her act. I did read her book and enjoyed it. I appreciate her as a person who balances it all and adjusts to life to get the most of it(at least in her business as a comedian)-HA! like i know her personally-- lol at myself for that. cheers.

[@WetPooooopie]

She's my role model

[@highspacefox]

what an awesome interview, thanks for posting i have always wanted to know more about sarah, she so coo

[@jmdj530]

What a great interview!

[@tdiddle8950]

How impossibly brave is what Sarah is saying to us? We SO need to hear this. Sarah is not a victim, and so she has navigated herself though the trials of life that often break us...yet she has come out as a winner. BRAVO, and BRAVO again. She is a bastion, a lighthouse, for the rest of us who struggle with the burden of (historically temporal) diagnoses.

[@HolidayInGuantanamo]

she's so melt-in-your-mouth cuuuute at 7:56 when she says "CUSS words..." and that snort near the end was unexpected! =) (well it won't be cos you just read this hahahahah)

[@PeachyKeen2007]

"It depends on the prism from which you are watching - " "that was beautiful" "thank you" *looks away* Hahaha, that was a brilliant moment.

[@BigMikeGuitar]

Sarah is quirky and edgy, including smart, articulate, and really funny!

[@OldieWan]

And someone who pissed her bed until she was well into her Teen years! Talk about issues!!!! LOL

[@kiliya1086]

Oh Ty, she broke through all of that and has the guts to own it. Your own perfection is definitely questionable , in fact it's non existent...How old are you, 10?

[@meedily]

Wow. You've gotta love Katie Couric's HARD-HITTING journalism.

[@screwdabrewcrew]

I love how Sarah was so open about her past bedwetting problem. I know a lot of us can relate to that.

"Oh! Look what happened there!" xD

Bedwetting usually comes from emotional abuse/neglect in childhood. Taking Xanex at that age explains so much too with stunted emotional development.

The bit about the dog from 12.30 is hilarious. The interviewer is totally in bits.

[@billshriner]

Say what u will Sarah is beautiful and deserves all respect

[@OldieWan]

Sure, as someone who pissed her bed until she was well into her teens, she deserves our respect! No thanks, and no she does not! She is a crazy CAT lady who is a grown adult who talks like a teenage idiot! I think she never honestly grew up due to all her deep seeded issues! Now she reflects those same issues into her adult life. Dating men just to get places in life.. How sad. I don't even pity this nut case!

[@fazbell]

Sarah is a goddess. I would hate her if she ever got serious.

I don't think you're paying attention. Her use of language, her dissection of comedy and her love of silly and absurd humor are all marks of -- you guessed it --a sharp mind and a brilliant comedienne.

I hope this doesn't sound weird? Peace

I love Sarah. she is my kind of comedian from head to toe. i saw her walking down the street once and wanted to tell her how much she's made me laugh over the years, but i was too dumbfounded. (and, i respect celebs and their need to be "normal people") but, Sarah, I love you!

[@ronjohnson7475]

You're an idiot, that's why.

[@screenshot123]

Really people. If you don't find a comedian funny, move on. There's always an audience for folks like Red Top or Gallagher. Go there. No need to comment on an entertainer's looks, ethnicity or personal story to show your envy or deep-seated hatred for someone's chosen occupation. She's a freakin' comedian, not your brain surgeon.

[@LeshaAnn]

Amen

the only way she got a " chance" was she was dating jimmy Kimmel for a long time she's not funny , her voice is annoying its ironic her sister who was in her comedy central series is much prettier than her.

[@reggiehammond1420]

i turned jewish watching this...they really wanted to push her huh?

[@SFGal9]

Her jokes are not funny. They are just desperate cries for attention of any kind. Anything at all, especially from men and boys. Daddy issues. Even her voice is arrested at whatever age that was.

[@kiliya1086]

Love me some SS. She is so authentic and real... Great interview with a great comedienne...

[@kiliya1086]

You are entitled an opinion of course, so what the fuck are you watching this video for? So you can get yourself all worked up with moral superiority? Check your own shit before making asinine comments...

[@FloridaLizardQueen]

I love Sarah Silverman! She is hilarious! Sarah, if you see this, you are truly an old school comedian--not baked from the same cookie dough as the others.

[@kamilahmartin5160]

I see Sarah as a lost rude girl. Full of greed and hard work will. but no carisma.. at all. She's like these girls that if she doesn't see a shrink every week She'd live in a corner apart set away from society as an animal. (just my impression! and I'm 99% sure I'm not wrong at all.

[@Doodlebugdude]

+Camila Leandra Martins Hahahahahahahaha.

[@Clever999able]

+Camila Leandra Martins You just described most comedians that ever existed with the seeing a shrink. Comedians are for the most part sad people.

[@Doodlebugdude]

That's a common misconception that all comedians are manic depressives. While it is true that some are, there is no evidence that comedians are more depressed than any other profession in the world.

[@Clever999able]

I didn't say ALL calm down. *Coughs* Robin Williams killed himself *Coughs*

[@Doodlebugdude]

Yes he did and the world is a lot sadder for it, but there are plenty of stand ups who have movie careers and selling DVD's and working in theatres up and down various countries that didn't. It was still a generalisation as you can't provide any statistical information or any evidence to back up such a ridiculous claim.

[@mynexuspro]

"is that for real??" lol

[@jimmaughan1898]

Sarah made Katie snorf!!! Genius!!!

[@JoshuaH688]

Silverman is a good example of personality-driven acting, and that is always the best kind. She doesn't plot or strain to do what she does. She just does what comes natural, and learns to let her mind flow freely. She is a great media personality to mimic in style.

[@ElBuki146]

Wow, it was worth watching this video all the way through because I saw no other person in the world make the faces Sarah makes. I must say she's amazing, but I don't know her much. I didn't grow up watching her on tv at all because I didn't have cable and still don't.
