We keep the comedy going this morning
with two time Emmy Awardwinning comedian,
actress, writer and producer Sarah Silverman.
She's bringing her gross Some Lips tour
to Hollywood Casino at Charlest.
She's a very busy lady,
but we were able to find some time to chat
about everything that she's been up to.
Sarah Silverman, so good to have you here
on Great Day, Washington, how are you?
I'm great. How you doing? Good, good.
We're so excited that you're
coming to perform at Charlestow.
How excited are you too to be back on
the road? What is it about stan?
I've been loving it.
I always dread having to go
on the road just because it's.
I get scared and I, you know,
don't want to leave home,
but I love it, you know, It's so fun.
It's so cool to just.
I'm a people person,
so it's just so fun meeting
different people and and going
from town to town and just kind.
Really getting a heartbeat of just the
country and where we're at different places.
Places where whole parts of our
lives are illegal, you know,
and and and how the people feel about it.
And it's very interesting,
but mostly it's comedy
and we all need some comedy.
Every day at this point.
But I bet. I bet for you.
I mean you're super busy.
Yeah. You got movies. Yeah.
The guest hosting The Daily Sho.
So I bet for as a comedian like you said,
getting the pulse is being out
there is the best way to do tha.
It is. And it's. It's. It is.
Yeah. Do you. And it's just.
Oh, go ahead. No, I had nothing.
I started a sentence hoping it
I would think of the end of it.
I got you. I got you there.
No. But you know nowadays.
With your comedy, you know you u
put it out there for everybody.
Is there any kind of trepidation
now when you're performing or in
this cancel culture kind of wor?
Maybe a little bit. Not really.
I mean I I I think I'm just I'm
aware of the stuff I'm aware ofd
I'm not aware of this stuff I'mt
aware of I'm doing the best I c.
So you know I think I think people have
a lot of grace more than we think and.
I don't know. I, you know,
it's just all about having fun
and laughing and you know,
I'm not trying to cause any tro,
but I don't know, sometimes it happens,
right? I got to ask you about guest hosts
in The Daily Show. What was that like?
It was so fun. I had a blast.
It was just constant and it was,
you know, I do, obviously I'm a stand up,
but I'm a slow honer, you know,
I get to like work on things.
Over time, you know, And it was so cool
to do something that's so immed.
You wake up in the morning,
you look at what's on the news,
you pick some stories, you know,
you work with the writers.
And it's like, good can't be the, you know,
perfect can't be the enemy of g.
It's just like, all right,
let's go with it, you know?
And it's very cool.
I loved it.
I love the process of it.
I bet, too. I mean,
just you're trying different th.
You got the time to hone.
You got the immediacy.
That's just got to continue to l
your talent and make you better.
It does. It's just fun.
I I, you know, I'm so grateful e
working and doing all these odd jobs.
I love, you know? Still, what is
it like for you?
Just coming here?
We're excited to have you here.
What are you looking
forward to at Charles Town?
I can't wait. I don't think I've ever
done a show in West Virginia and
I'm excited to be there and check it out.
You know, I, you know, it's fun.
I'm friends with Lucas Nelson,
who is an amazing singer-songwr.
And we seem to be like, you kno,
when you're on the road,
there are other comics and musis
that you constantly see like the
posters for their, you know,
they're coming next or they're after you
or they were there right before you and.
So he he was just there and he was like,
you know, sent me a a picture
of my poster and was like,
you're worth, you're following ,
you know, But it's
fun. I mean, I I hope that,
you know, I feel like my act has
a lot of, like, Jewy stuff and
I'm like, oh gosh, West Virgini,
are there Jews there? But if there are any,
I'm sure they'll be there. I just worry.
It's not like you have to be Jeh
for it. But I always worry.
Like, I feel like people
who aren't Jewish worried
that they shouldn't laugh
and like, please laugh,
please laugh.
That's what it's all about, rig?
