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."

Jimmy is a talentless shmuck. I'm sure she was tired of having to write his material.

[CountryBeforeParty]

I love Sara, but she got funnier after she hooked up with Jimmy.

You probably think Carson Daly is a major talent

[maxwellinformed]

Can't blame Jimmy. Anybody else notice all the of the hot actresses that flirt with him on his show. Jimmy was the only thing that made Sarah bearable. Her career is probably over.

Sarah Silverman: There are only two Asian people that I know that I have any problem with at all. One is, uh, Guy Aioki. The other is my friend Steve who actually went pee-pee in my Coke. He's all, "Me Chinese, me play joke!" Uh, if you have to explain it, Steve, it's not funny!

Sarah Silverman: Who cares? Different religions. I guess the only time it's an issue I suppose would be if you're having a baby, you have to figure out how you want to raise your baby or whatever, which still would not be an issue for us. Because you know, we'd just be honest, and say "Mommy is one of the chosen people, and Daddy believes that Jesus is magic."

lol

I saw Kimmel interviewing some Polish tourists on Hollywood Blvd and he was calling them dumb pollacks and since their English wasn't very good it was hilarious (not). Silverman is way overrated.

[Moka11]

Wow...two of the least talented people in comedy...well....that's an unfair remark as long as Dane Cook is considered a comedian.

[hartkid]

Who cares? This is news!? Come on HuffPo! No talent hacks. She's a bigot! Why do you post this stuff here? Don't you know people are dying in an illegal war?!!! Who cares? Oh wait, I already said that. Uh, This is supposed to be news or something? Oh, yeah, I said that already too. Hmmm. Got to be creative. I know. These two no talent hacks are talentless hacks. Not funny. Bigots! I said that too? Oh, well, at least I was the first to say it. I wasn't? There were like 100 people who said that before me? Dang it!

[haleywins]

And this is news?

[CarlyShitson]

He is an idjiat..

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

I would guess more Americans think Leno is funnier than Silverman. Just goes to show...

[spaceman3838]

what does it go to show. she can be funny, but you can also feel that slapping her in the face could be a good idea

[Eric8869]

Got to agree with you on that one. Leno is not and never was funny.

[ewj1]

I always thought Kimmel had better breasts and jokes than Silverman. Then again he also had more writers and cinnamon-apple cake.

[OhComeOnNow]

Well, now we know how that crude, no-talent hack got her own shows. Good riddance. Oh, and the ex-boyfriend is light in the talent department, too.

[SmellyOne]

Ha ha ha ha.

Who cares?

[DogTown]

I guess she really was F-ing Matt Damon!

[tasukibeth1]

Ha! If that were true, it really would be news. And I would follow it like a junkie.

[demlover1]

I am sorry for the two of them. I have to say I have never found her to be funny at all---just offensive on occasion. I have never really understood why she is a star. There are many other women who are much funnier out there.

[knighthowl]

I have always found her quite amusing. Jimmy Kimmel, not so. I wondered what she saw in him. Looks? nah. Humor? don't think so. What?

[iamtoo]

Hung like a horse.

[arkgrfx61]

Agreed...I thought she was trying too hard to be shocking...I think Chelsea Lately (I think that's her name) is much funnier. Sarah is just repulsive....
