"Sarah Silverman: Fundraiser For Katrina". Posted 19 November 2006. YouTube video, accessed 29 March 2009.
Sarah Silverman sparks controversy with her stand up comedy routines often based on themes such as racial discrimination, sex and religion. Silverman's operates slyly. Attractive appearance and meek in voice and delivery; it can be questionable how Silverman appears to endorse discrimination in every light; but she does, and has no problem with it. She has been the center of multiple controversial statements, criticized in Hollywood and even by the Catholic Church. She is best known for her work as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live, and now stars in and produces, The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central. Sarah Silverman takes the stage in November of 2006, for the stand up show, “Comic Relief for Katrina.” Within her routine, Silverman often references her Jewish heritage. She goes as far as saying, “Even when my great-great-great grandmother was being rapped[by Mongols] she thought, this is going to be funny one day.” Her apathetic attitude to the most strong subjects, turn some viewers sour. For example, in record to the fighting overseas she states, “I love how Palestinians and Jews hate each other. Its like sweet potatoes hating yams.” Silverman, although criticized by many, continues to gain quite a large following and grasps onto success for now.
