| Sarah first gained national exposure in 1993 as a writer/featured player on Saturday Night Live.

| Sarah Silverman is probably the cutest cutting-edge comic we can think of, combining two of our favorite traits in one woman: good looks and a twisted sense of humor. |

Sarah Kate Silverman was born on December 2, 1970, in Bedford, New Hampshire. She made her start on stage at age 12, playing the title role in a community theater production of Annie. A born performer, Silverman began doing stand-up comedy when she was in high school. Following graduation, she spent a year at New York University, during which time she concentrated on handing out fliers to promote her comedy club gigs. She dropped out after her freshman year to focus on her stand-up career.
In 1993, after several years of experience on the stand-up circuit to her credit, Silverman was hired as a writer and featured player on Saturday Night Live. She was part of the cast that also included Mike Myers, Chris Farley and Adam Sandler, but she was let go at the end of the ’93-’94 season since none of her sketches ever made it to air. To add insult to injury, she was notified of her dismissal from the show by fax.
Silverman relocated to Los Angeles in 1995 and moved on to another sketch comedy show, Mr. Show with Bob and David, on HBO. She also made guest appearances on sitcoms like The Larry Sanders Show, where she had the recurring role of TV writer Wendy Traston, and Seinfeld, where she played Kramer's girlfriend. She also landed guest roles on dramas like Star Trek: Voyager and JAG.
In 1998, the budding actress made it onto the big screen with small parts in comedies such as Bulworth with Warren Beatty and Halle Berry, Overnight Delivery with Reese Witherspoon, and There's Something About Mary with Cameron Diaz. The following year, she appeared in the made-for-television film Smog, which was written and directed by Jon Favreau, Late Last Night with Emilio Estevez, and the romantic comedy The Bachelor, co-starring Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger.
More bit parts in movies followed in 2000, as Silverman appeared in Screwed with Norm MacDonald and Dave Chappelle, and in the crime drama The Way of the Gun, co-starring James Caan and Benicio Del Toro, in which she was credited as the Raving Bitch. In 2001, she landed roles in Heartbreakers with Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt, Say It Isn't So with Chris Klein and Heather Graham, and Evolution, a sci-fi comedy co-starring David Duchovny and Julianne Moore.
In 2002, Silverman was cast as TV executive Alison Kaiser in the sitcom Greg the Bunny, which also co-starred Eugene Levy and Seth Green. That same year, she guest starred in an episode of V.I.P., the action/comedy series starring Pamela Anderson, and lent her voice to the animated series Saddle Rash and Crank Yankers, a zany puppet show in which she voiced a prank caller named Hadassah Guberman.
Silverman debuted her stand-up/musical revue Jesus is Magic in 2003 to generally favorable reviews. That same year, she guest starred on Frasier, and played the mean, self-obsessed Patty Di Marco in the big-screen comedy The School of Rock, starring Jack Black. The following year, she co-starred with Sam Seder and Andy Dick in the mini-series Pilot Season, guest starred in an episode of Monk, and lent her voice to Comedy Central's Drawn Together and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
In 2005, Silverman appeared in the indie romantic comedy I Want Someone to Eat Cheese with and the musical Rent, and found more voice work on the animated series Tom Goes to the Mayor and American Dad!
Sarah's one-woman show was filmed and released as a feature film. Entitled Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic, it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September, and was shown in eight theaters in November 2005.
Despite mixed reviews from the critics, the movie opened in 57 theaters early in 2006 and cracked the $1.3 million mark in ticket sales. Her other credits for 2006 include Sarah Silverman Comedy Central Pilot, which she also wrote, and the feature film School for Scoundrels with Jon Heder and Billy Bob Thornton. |
