Sarah Silverman And Jimmy Kimmel Break Up

NEW YORK — Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have broken up, their publicists said Monday. "Jimmy and Sarah have no further comment," Kimmel's spokesman Lewis Kay told The Associated Press, confirming the split that was first reported on Vanity Fair magazine's Web site.

Silverman's publicist, Amy Zvi, confirmed the breakup in an e-mail message to the AP. Zvi didn't immediately respond when asked for further details.

The pair dated for five years, and were one of Hollywood's funniest _ and seemingly solid _ couples.

Earlier this year, they took the Internet by storm with a mega-popular video duel. Silverman debuted a clip of her and Matt Damon singing about their fake love affair on Kimmel's ABC late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and Kimmel later responded with a star-studded video declaring a romance with Damon's best friend, Ben Affleck.

Silverman, 37, has made frequent appearances on the 39-year-old Kimmel's talk show. The comedian has starred in a feature-film length version of her one-woman show, "Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic," and fronted her own Comedy Central series, "The Sarah Silverman Program."

S Silverman is SO funny-in a crude kind of way.

[ChiMan1]

Oh My God! I am going to Kill Myself! . . . who's . Sara Silverspoon?

[marymansour]

They are a revolting couple. Who cares if they broke the ties that bond....

[TheJibreelaMonsters]

Sarah Silverman... Call me (716)***-****

[carlgt1]

Silverman is OK, but I'm more into Lisa Lampanelli, she's the "New Yorker cover" of stand-up comedy!

[repugnicansfearme]

So she is over fat guys now?

[Playinjured]

Yea
Why would you date sarah after she slept with Jimmy Kimmel? You don't know what other fat nasty guys she has been with and, more importantly, if she still smells like them?

[mhutch47]

I heard it was because she was f***ing Matt Damon.

BTW: I'm sure someone has already posted this same thing, but I'm too lazy to read all the posts.

Since society has reached a high level of mediocrity, stupidity as humor seems to be on the uprise. Hopefully Sliverman is so stressed from the breakup, she retires for the rest of her life.

[StephenJK]

There is nothing that would make me more happy than to see Silverman collapse into irreperable depression and exit stage left for good. I see this scenario as HIGHLY unlikely. She's a crass narcissist.

[genia]

Aww I always thought they made the cutest couple. Oh well......
it's ok JimEEEE

"I was going to get an abortion the other day. I totally wanted an abortion. And it turns out I was just thirsty."
-- Sarah Silverman

That line is typical of her humour. You look/hear it, and you're thinking "wow, did she really say that?" Then you think about the "joke", and realise that it isn't very funny. It's just overrated shock value.

[mhutch47]

It's not shock value that makes her jokes work. It's her timing.
If you just read a transcript of her standup it would read like dumb shock-value humor. Listen to her tell it and you start to see why so many people think she's one of the top female comics of all time.
Whatever you think about the content of her material, it's hard to deny her talent.

[StephenJK]

What talent? Comedic timing is perfunctory to her content. It's a necessary and critical aspect of her shtick. Top female comics of all time? Now THAT is comedy.

[Angus703]

No that is funny

[Playinjured]

No, all of you are a regular Jerry Seinfeld over here. And for the record, I think she is f@#!ing Matt Damon. Call me crazy.

[observing]

if find them both disgusting turn-offs. now, i guess, they find each other disgusting turn-offs. only took five years...

[GolfingDevil05]

Now she can really f*** Matt Damon.

[Puller58]

And?

I heard a few of her comedy shows on Youtube . I did not find her funny at all . in fact i was outraged . and i saw a couple of rude photos of her where she looked pathetic .
