Sarah Silverman bio

via the New Yorker.
[More:]
Why am I such a sucker for biography pieces? Is it just me?
Maybe hero worship can be a spectator sport: Reading the excruciatingly detailed exploits of someone's life as told by another who seems to be in love with them.
I do think the New Yorker always does the bio pieces best.

"Is it just me?"
No because the TV and magazine racks are loaded with bio bites.
I generally find this stuff fawning and creepy. I mean I like Sarah Silverman allot but this does not really interest me. Just comes off as more carefully controlled publicity.

I remember watching her Conan bit. It was perfect comedy, totally absurd.

Her arms are long and her center of gravity is low: she is five feet seven, and moves like a vervet monkey.

Is it just me (hey vervetmonkey-see, vervetmonkey-do!), or is this an exceedingly strange comment?

this woman deserves much more fame than she gets.

which is odd, because she's gorgeous and with gorgeous women it's usually the other way around.

This is someone trying to prove that they deserve to be printed in the New Yorker.

Comedians are a strange bunch and some would take being compared with a monkey as a compliment. After all, if it's your job to be funny then looking funny is a big advantage - just ask this guy:

I have a girl crush on Silverman and am heartbroken that she gives it up to Jimmy Kimmel, of all people.

She dispels the myth that chicks can't be funny--or more specifically, that a woman can't be both funny and hot.

Sarah Silverman is teh hawt, funny, beautiful and so unbelievably filthy you'd think she was possessed.

jrossi4r, I didn't know she was with Jimmy Kimmel, that kind of sucks because, sorry Jimmy, he's about as funny as getting your finger slammed in a door. That's kind of disappointing to find out. But I bet she totally belittles him so maybe its okay.

Jimmy Kimmel? Ewww. I am also shocked. She is teh hawt. Know who else? Tina Fey.

Exactly, fenriq!

The New Yoorker also gave this treatment to Tina Fey in an issuee from Fall 2003, I belive. As Rain Baby points out, Tina Fey is, verily indeed, teh hawt.
