It was Silvermania at Hollywood's Velvet Margarita on Thursday night as Comedy Central celebrated the second season of "The Sarah Silverman Program." The raunchy comedian yukked it up on the black carpet while defending the network's decision to promote the show by creating a profile for her character on the Jewish dating website JDate. "Don't judge it. Everyone's on JDate. That's how Jimmy (Kimmel) and I met."
Inside, the club was outfitted with religious candles and paintings depicting Silverman as the Virgin Mary, reinforcing the fact that Silverman doesn't concern herself with being politically correct. "No, not if it makes me giggle. I'm not mean. I don't think of myself as mean. I think we comics are, well, powerless. I don't know. No comment!"
And as for the new season? "I don't want to give anything away, but there's definitely a lot of juiciness in every episode." Does that include the rumor that Angelina Jolie has expressed interested in appearing on the show? "What happened was she met us on the lot where we write. She was just magical and she intimated that she would be open to doing something, so who knows? You'll just have to watch and see." (J. Sneider and S. Oldham)
