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."

He was cheating on her with someone who worked on his show. Good. Talentless hack Silverman broke up his long term marriage with young children. How's it feel Sarah? Back to banging the losers at the Ha Ha Hut.

FAIL.

Never knew they were together.....wouldn't have cared if I did.

[ZimboChick]

Good she was so annoying and he is such a darl

Why are so many of the people here so incredibly petty?

Comedy like any other form of entertainment is subjective and it's impossible to please everyone, but I've never visited a site with so many who relish badmouthing damn near anybody who breaks up, fails or somehow falls from grace.

[Angus703]

Agreed if you didn't like them why do you care enough to write a comment about them

[Krikkit]

As much as I don't get either of these two, they seemed like a pretty solid pair. But whatever.

[Rendon76]

I just don't know what I'm going to do.

[HermioneGranger]

Maybe she can team up with Borat. I've heard his fiance doesn't want to marry him after all.

Then you really had two peas in a pie

[HowardSanotti]

These two are punchlines without a joke.

[broadsword]

She's probably banging Conan now. Gotta do something to stay on TV, right?

[Soundofthunder]

Sarah's humor is an acquired taste. Like chicken sprinkled with racism and Jewish angst. Yummy!

Like Saturday Night Live for the past 20 years, these two confuse "edgy" with "funny." Carlin was both. They aren't.
That being said, I do hope Sarah is happy with Lara Logan.

"Like Saturday Night Live for the past 20 years, these two confuse "edgy" with "funny."

--like most *comedy* of the past 20 years! Mike Myers and his poo poo jokes, for instance. Comedy has really hit the skids since Bill Hicks died.

[SILVANUS]

Neither one of them has offered the world much in the realm of art or entertainment, unless you're made of nothing but disaffection and anger.

[Soundofthunder]

Now that you mention it...

Sarah-
Now that you’re free, how about me? I think you’re the funniest, sexiest female comedian since Rita Rudner; email me, please!

[jeffp26]

Rita Rudner?

[CostaMesaJoe]

LMFAO....

[Imzadi]

Judy Tenuta ? ( too young to know who she is?)

[sa]

maybe, like magnets,
evil on evil, don't align.

[gavroche]

This just in: Sarah Silverman is not funny.

[Ajita]

she's a lot funnier than kimmel

[Imzadi]

Not saying much, sadly...
