Sarah Silverman: Jimmy Kimmel Loved Me -- and My Big "Thighs"

UsMagazine.com recently caught up with Sarah Silverman, 39, who just debuted her third season of The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central.
US: What can we expect from the new season? The characters are so well-defined this season -- and a lot happens! My sister and I have competing Holocaust memorials (Laura's, respectful with a monument made of recovered Nazi gold; mine, with one of those flying money booths and a sexy Hitler dunk-tank). My imaginary friend from childhood (Andy Samberg) also comes back all grown up. And we have lots of fun guest stars -- Ed Asner, Bill Maher, Patton Oswalt, Bradley Whitford, Billy Crudup, Maria Bamford. It's our favorite season yet for sure.

US: You're not shy about pushing the envelope. Are you ever afraid you'll offend someone too much? We never set out to offend anyone. We are just writing what makes us laugh. Once it's out there, it's not for us to say how people will infer it. There's no way to keep from offending anyone - people are offended by stuff based on the events and experiences of their own individual lives, you know? It would be paralyzing. In my opinion, second-guessing your audience is a comedy killer.
See your favorite stars goofing off!
US: You've said you met your new boyfriend [writer Alec Sulkin] over Twitter. Any downsides to meeting people that way? I don't know. I only had this one experience, and we had met before throughout the years. He wasn't a total stranger.
US: You recently made some comments about exes that seemed to take aim about Jimmy. What’s your relationship with him like now? I'm actually glad you asked because this week has been ridiculous -- Jimmy and I are friends! I said that this new guy was super skinny and people reported that I called Jimmy fat - Jimmy's perfect! I said that this new guy says sweet things and all of a sudden the news is that Jimmy never told me I was pretty! Give me a break! The gossip blogs are putting a strain on a real nice post-relationship relationship I have going with one Mr. Jimmy Kimmel, who loved me even when my thighs were at their biggest.

19Hey, check out great m illionaire dating site """M e e t i n g W e a l t h y * c ...o... m""" where Charlie Sheen met his third wife in 2007. He is searching for his fourth wife on that site now!!
Nah, he was just lying so you'd put out. No man likes a woman with big old thunder thighs.

I'm no fan of "prolly" either, but to so severely correct one's grammar and/or spelling on this type of site is rather unecessary. And calling someone a dummy? Yeah, you're truly brilliant.
Ah, what price fame? Be yourself, Sarah, and the Hell with everyone else. Mazel Tov
I'm so happy for her, I wish I could help her find a better man, that doesn't care so much about her looks. I know she likes to read, I met my BF on BookLoversDating its a dating site for people that like to read, and we're getting married, but I like to read, so find someone you have something in common with.
Lol, you're welcome, Merlin :-)
good for her...they are mature...if the relationship does not work with current man...would she give Jimmy a chance?
Thank you, Diana! I can't believe I actually stumbled across this story again, and that someone actually commented on MY comment! I only clicked on the story thinking it was a newer one! LOL. The most ironic thing is that I am a total hound when it comes to proper spelling and have been known to correct others on certain websites when the spelling irks me, too:) I can truthfully say I have used "prolly" like twice in my life and it has always been when I'm in a hurry and just dashing off a comment...REBECCA and TULIP, I agree it's a stupid word and honestly don't know what possesses(ed) me or others to use it because really it only saves one from typing a whole 2 letters. Mea culpa, mea culpa ladies. I will do 20 Hail Mary's and 20 Our Fathers for penance, okay? Whew!
The last two people berating someone for the crime of using "prolly" instead of "probably" on the US Magazine comments board of all places (did you think this was the Lancet?) is really rude, especially since this person's comment was actually positive.
LOL Tulip, there's a whole generation of "entitled" children who were never corrected by their teacher when they used slang or other abhorrent abortions of the English language. Prolly is a word this Merlin person no doubt believes sounds cute and hip. Little does he/she know it makes him/her sound like an idiot.
I'm so sick of lazy writers! Prolly is not a word. It's PROBABLY. Go take an English / Spelling class dummy.
Just watched her on an old episode of "Brotherly Love" with the Lawrence brothers. She was so cute! Can't believe it's the same girl! (not that she's not cute now, but she just looked so young back then). Then again I guess we all were then since it was prolly '97 at the time.
She is a cute girl until she opens her mouth and that perception is shot to poop.
STill sexy looking at 39! Go Sarah! Go!
Hahahah, you go Sarah!
I think Sarah is a very beautiful woman and yes, not every woman can have a super-models body. I would have a much bigger problem with the woman I cared for talking the way she does even in the name of comedy. By the way, I do think she's funny but can't believe sometimes the words that come out of that pretty mouth.
