Comedy Central releases Sarah Silverman’s ‘From Our Rears to Your Ears’

Digg!

Today, comedy and music fans unite, as Sarah Silverman and the crew from Comedy Central’s Sarah Silverman Program release a collection of songs featured on the show. The album, titled From Our Rears To Your Ears, is a 99-track epic featuring musical ditties from all seasons — including the current one — as well as snippets of audio from fan favorite scenes.

If you like the show, you’ll like the album. While at times, the album seems a bit slapped together — smooth transitions and segues, be damned! — in the end, it doesn’t much matter. You want an audio, portable version of the best of the Sarah Silverman Program to listen to whilst treadmilling or driving. You got it. Check out a few tracks below!

Maria Bamford takes onstage political character to Sarah Silverman Program

Digg!

The incredibly talented and underused Maria Bamford will guest star on Comedy Central’s The Sarah Silverman Program tomorrow at 10:30 pm. She’ll play Mayor Kadoody, a politician Sarah gets behind and somehow convinces her friends and family to do the same. Affable on the surface, Kadoody has a sinister streak. Check out a preview below.

We love this character already, especially since the Bammer is bringing to the small screen a variation of a bit she recorded live for her latest album Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome. We dropped that album clip below. Check it out and compare it to her Kadoody character. Fun!


Sarah Silverman to appear on Yo Gabba Gabba!

Digg!

Sarah Silverman

Nickelodeon’s educational kids’ show Yo Gabba Gabba! has thrived for two seasons, in part, due to its integration of adult-flavored guest entertainers like Elijah Wood, Tony Hawk and Amy Sedaris, not to mention musical guests like The Shins and The Roots. Brad Pitt even dressed at the show’s star DL Lance Rock for Halloween!

Well, the new season kicks off on Nick Jr. on March 8 at 10:30 a.m. EST and will feature Comedy Central’s darling Sarah Silverman. The fact that Sarah played a demented host of a childrens’ program on the second episode of the current season of the Sarah Silverman Program only makes this funnier. So, we can’t wait to see what Sarah has in store for the kids of Nick Jr. In the meantime, check out a clip from the previously mentioned Sarah Silverman Program episode.

Sarah Silverman interviewed in elevator + preview of tomorrow’s SSP episode

Digg!

In an effort to make American Idol and the fact that Ellen DeGeneres is now on the show and that Simon Cowell will be leaving the show part of every stitch of reporting, MTV News lobbed a question at Sarah Silverman… in an elevator. Awesome. That question: Would she ever consider being a judge on the Fox show. Sadly, she gave a real answer. The camera dude gets extra points for catching the mail room guy with the huge shipment leaving the elevator.

In the season’s second episode of the Sarah Silverman Program — airing tomorrow at 10:30 pm EST on Comedy Central — Sarah usurps a good-natured old time children’s book author’s job as the host of a story time television show. Check out a clip below.

Sarah Silverman talks about peeing on Joy Behar Show tonight

Digg!

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know that The Sarah Silverman Program premieres its third season tonight at 10:30 pm EST on Comedy Central. We’ve seen the first two episodes and we love what we’ve seen so far. You can check out our review here.

And while you’re at it, check out the recent interview we did with SSP star Steve Agee. And if words hurt your brain, check out the clip below of Sarah on the Joy Behar Show. The entire interview airs tonight at 9 pm EST on HLN.


The answer, Sarah Silverman says, is blowin’ in the wind

Digg!

Starring Sarah Silverman with her Sarah Silverman Program cohorts Brian Posehn and Steve Agee, the finely-tuned trio work their way through this hilarious lip dub of Blowin’ in the Wind. Directed by Danny Jelinek to be shown at the recent Television Critics Association industry events, we thought that this was just way too entertaining not to share with the general comedy-loving public. You’re welcome. UPDATE- Jan. 20: Apparently this has become a “private video” since we posted, so, it’s no longer available to view, for some reason. Sorry.

The Sarah Silverman Program’s third season premieres Feb. 4 on Comedy Central.


Sarah Silverman Program screens two episodes of new season at live Q&A session

Digg!
Sarah Silverman, Steve Agee, Laura Silverman

Sarah Silverman, Steve Agee, Laura Silverman last night at Largo in Los Angeles.

After over a full year off the air, the Sarah Silverman Program returns to Comedy Central next month, and the lucky few (and those of us who can blend in with the lucky few) were at a screening of the first two episodes at the Largo in LA last night.

No spoilers from me about the plots, except to say that the season opener is as funny and surreal and filthy as anything they’ve yet to do on the show. (Okay, small spoiler: it involves Sarah’s character’s ambiguous genitalia and contains a song called “The Baby Penis in My Mind” that’s dangerously catchy.)

Silverman introduced the episodes and stuck around for a brief, hilarious Tig Notaro-moderated Q&A afterward, along with her sister Laura and other cast members Steve Agee, Jay Johnston co-creator/writer Rob Schrab and writer Dan Sterling.

(Okay, one more spoiler: Maria Bamford is in the second episode as a character named May Kadoody. She owns it.)

The Q&A covered everything from “Is there anything Comedy Central won’t let you do?” to how they develop a one-sentence premise – “What if Sarah had a dick?” – into a full episode.

The show returns Feb. 4th at 10:30 pm. Imagine that: genuinely funny comedy in the 10 o’clock hour. See, it can be done…
