Sarah Silverman’s Bio

Bedford city, New Hampshire in the northeastern United States welcomed a star and a motivator named Sarah kate Silverman on December 1, 1970. She was born to Beth Ann (née Halpin) and Donald Silverman. Her mother was George McGovern’s personal campaign photographer who with her experience would establish the theatre company New Thalian Players.

Luckily, the comedian evolved to become a professional by 1992. The next year, Sarah joined Saturday Night Live where she worked for a season as a performer and a writer. But things didn’t go well for her at SNL as most of her jokes were criticized and rejected. According to her statement during Larry Sanders Show episode “The New Writer in 1996”, the male comedians at SNL then favored the jokes of their co-writers. As a result, she was relieved from the show. Rather than breaking her, the sad experience at SNL challenged her to do better. She became very tough with her career.

This paid off as her life changed for the better when she got an offer to become a cast member at HBO comedy “Mr Show” with Bob and David (which ran from 1995 to 1997). In 1997, she made her network stand-up comedy debut on the “Late Show” with David Letterman. The same year, she played a lead role in the independent film Who’s the Caboose?.
