Sarah Silverman raised eyebrows at this years MTV Video Music Awards after making fun of Britney Spears and her vagina.
Sarah just wants to have fun and not take life so seriously.
Us Magazine: First off, were you surprised by the negative reaction to your Britney jokes at the VMAs?
The joke that everyone was upset about — me calling the kids “adorable mistakes” — was the most innocuous joke. It never occurred to me that would be deemed hurtful or over the line. I don’t want to get into feuds with girls half my age. I’m in it to be funny and not for the drama. It’s embarrassing.
Us: On to your show: Is the new season crazier?
The story lines are ridiculous! It’s that contrast that makes the show work— absurdity played real.
Us: We also see more of your real-life sis, Laura. Is there anything bad about working with her?
Yes, she’s thinner than me! I need to get one of those Lucy-and-Ethel clauses. [It’s rumored that the actress who played Ethel on I Love Lucy had to be 20 pounds overweight.]
Us: We hear Angelina Jolie is a fan of the show. True?
I met her on the lot, and she was so cool! There is a chance she’ll show up in an episode. I don’t know why, but I’m seeing her in an Annie wig.
Us: Why does your relationship with Kimmel work?
I have no clue. He’s cute, and he has dimples, and we love each other.
Sarah’s show on Comedy Central, The Sarah Silverman Program, premieres on October 3rd.
