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."

I always tell people like this. Only the Lord can keep you together. But they persist and hence the tragedy.

My atheist husband and my agnostic self lived together for 10 years before we got married when I was 38 weeks pregnant. We've got 3 well-adjusted productive atheist/agnostic kids and 40+ years on our marriage.

I've grateful for all of it but I think we did it with love, commitment and work.

[thankulord13]

So you say! We all like to pretend we know are kids so well until we find out they want to be a transexual.

I could never stand these two together. I have always found Sarah Silverman to be the epitome of uncouth and disgustingly low humor. I hope to see less of her foul mouthed antics now that she and Kimmel will no longer be together.

[Rubyfoo]

Well we don't sound like a very happy little cat, do we? My goodness, if you have a problem with Silverman then don't listen. Their relationship is hardly your business.

[happycat]

It is my business, b/c as you can see it is on Huffpo which is EVERYONE'S business!

[didimus]

I heard they broke up over the cover of this week's New Yorker.

[proudloudlib]

LOL really loud! Thanks!

[totaldisbelief]

well I guess Jimmy and Sarah won't be crushing any glasses under their feet...so sad to watch good love go bad.

[helen]

She's a very smart and sophisticated comic. I always wondered what "glue" held her and Kimmel together. It just didn't seem like a great fit personality-wise. But wish them both luck.

[Demoid]

She is SO hot!!!

[totaldisbelief]

until she turns into the Ice Queen

her new special should be interesting: "jesus is a third party respondent"

[texastrixie]

How sad. I hoped these two would stay together. These two weren't made for each other; they deserved each other. Now if only one or both of them would become depressed and need to take some time off from the limelight to regroup.

[andvoodoo2]

Can't stand either one of them. I just figured they were together because no one else would have them.

[Gogetter]

I swear I was gonna write almost the exact same thing.

[neoconhypocrites]

Haven't you heard? it was Obama's fault. He had affairs with both of them.

[SifSkade]

That's unfortunate, since as long as they were together, they were just inflicting their own special brand of Not Funny But Really Annoying on each other.

[happycat]

Exactly!

[ChescoMom]

Can't STAND her; he's never seemed more than a lump to me. OK, back to my Summer II research paper.

[Josie763]

I agree.. she's so annoying. A woman that's almost 40 making juvenile jokes about poo and silly videos about f**king Matt Damon.

I can't stand his show either. What a mistake ABC made with giving that oaf a talk show. The "Man Show" was just perfect for him.

[auramac]

Another situation that makes you worry- "If they can't make it- who can?"

Romeo and Juliet couldn't last in today's world.

[Merckx]

They didn't last past 14 in their world either.

[pattio66]

thank GOD these two talentless individuals broke up before they could reproduce!

[louisev]

I don't know how she expected to compete with Ben Affleck. Let's be serious.
