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 am so out of the loop. And yet, I find myself fortunate that I have no idea who these people are or what is being said about them.

[anastasiabeaverhousen]

You're missed very little by way of these two. Don't worry about it at all!

[hypnus]

What, it took them 5 years to find out they were brother and sister?

[DrFelch]

Oh no! I thought they would be "forever"!! THE WORLD HAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN!

[MyThought]

That whole f**cking Damon thing was about the most childish stunt I've seen in a long time. It's a "cheap" shot at comedy when you use shock value and the "F" word as your routine.

8 year old level...fo­r sure.

[JaneaneTheAcerbicGoblin]

Sarah's "poop" obsession was rather gross.

8 year old level comedy, for sure...

[panchovilla]

Of course they broke up. She was fooling around with Matt Damon (and bragging about it publicly) and he with Ben Affleck. Those Hollywood people!

[BADEN]

Thank goodness - no kids....*w­hew!

[mabinog]

Oh cr@p I did not consider that! Can you imagine the....eww­wwwwwwwwww­w.

[anastasiabeaverhousen]

I f*cking hate when that f*cking happens.

[grayforester]

I hate it more when it doesn't happen.

[JaneaneTheAcerbicGoblin]

I guess we won't hear Sarah talk about Jimmy's "doody" anymore, and vice versa.

Thank goodness.

Now, Sarah will have an open casting call for her next boyfriend. Keep your eyes open for it. Her male fans are rejoicing.

Now Sarah can go back to f*cking Matt Damon.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Beat me to it.

[RobinSeattle]

And this is anyone's business because why?

[Eric8869]

In other news: Ben and Matt are still together

[HopeandChange]

Nice.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Ka-Smack.

[DevilAdvocate]

the real story! LOL

[lisakaz2]

Yep. I guess Sarah lost her lure to Matt now...

[LeaveArtieAlone]

Oh they were so cute together!

[All57States]

That's sad news. Sarah is hot, but she was pretty open about her affection for Matt Damon.
