Sarah Silverman is the kind of girl/comedian who inspires strong feelings. Personally, I'm a big fan, if only because she's groundbreaking and gutsy. And, unlike Lisa Lampinelli, she's creative with her crassness, using it to form a character rather than as her entire schtick. It's kind of the difference between Steven Colbert riffing off of what was originally a character based on O'Reilly and a Bush-impersonator on Leno, doing the same old jokes. The tool is a means, not the end. Also, she's gorgeous.
If you are a fan, she has a show coming out on Comedy Central, in a similar form to Jesus is Magic, although it seems like with less stand-up. Check out clips of the show on Motherload. There's also an amazing interview with her as the cover story of the Village Voice this week.
