Sarah Silverman drops some f-bombs at BookPeople
Comedienne and freshly minted author Sarah Silverman spoke at BookPeople Wednesday night at a crowded reading and signing for her new book, “The Bedwetter.” About 200 people filled the second floor to see Silverman.
The signing and the book both carry the shock-and-awww humor that has made Silverman a popular stand-up comic and that fueled her Comedy Central show, “The Sarah Silverman Program,” through three seasons. (Sadly for fans, the possibility of a fourth season on the cable channel seems slim.)
The book, no surprise, is filled with silly photos, questionable chapter titles (several are called “Mein Kampf”), a crude line drawing of male genitalia and a foreword from Silverman (bookended with an afterword from “God”).
Silverman, wearing a short demin skirt, a blue hoodie and reading glasses, read from a chapter called “Calls from Schleppy” in which her father leaves her voicemails from Boca Raton. The f-bomb count accelerated quickly: at least a half-dozen dropped in the 10-minute reading. (There were two toddlers and an infant present, but none of the parents seemed to mind.)
Afterward, she posed for photos and signed books for fans. When asked by the American-Statesman about prospects for fourth season of “The Sarah Silverman Show,” she all but ruled it out.
“I would be shocked at this point” if it came back, she said. Silverman said she looked forward to seeing what others on the show, including co-creator, director and “Mini Coffee” actor Rob Schrab, go on to do. Her other “Sarah Silverman Program” co-creator, Dan Harmon, has found success on NBC this season with his freshman hit, “Community.”
