Yup - Sarah Silverman was the cute chick on "Greg the Bunny". And one of her sisters is a rabbi. (The other is Actor Susan Silverman; her boyfriend is Talk-Host Jimmy Kimmel).That was THEN... HEEB mag did a profile:
On a interview with Elvis Mitchell aired November 16, 2005 on KCRW, Silverman says she is "almost positive there's no god" when speaking of reactions to her 'Jesus is Magic' catch-phrase that was printed on a t-shirt.
Her current performance film - "JESUS IS MAGIC" - consists of narrative digressions on sex, race, politics. One critic described her show this way:
"Like a drunken perverse Don Quixote, in the best tradition of black comedy, Sarah S. tilts her lance at every sacred cow in sight, sexual, ethnic, and social. No one gets off, Mexicans, Jews, Puerto Ricans, Asians, homosexuals, no one. And that's fine.
In the current in vogue style of Hollywood humor, it's all self-conscious, controlled, stylized, an act. Sarah is one intelligent and very pretty lady -- her timing is crafty, subversive, sly.
My fantasy: Sarah Silverman takes the place of Oprah as pop icon (couldn't think of a more fitting alterego). It would be like having Putney Swope in the White House.
Of course this movie will offend. It steps on everyone's toes. And that's fine. It's like a breath of fresh air, even if it achieves it by smashing every window in the house with the furniture."
Another:
"...The power of her comedy is its ravaging of social beliefs that we are all supposed to share... Sacred cows make the best hamburger..."
"What makes Silverman so ballsy is fearless take on race ("The best time to conceive, of course, is when you're a black teenager"),
religion ("The only time religion matters is when you have kids and you're deciding what to teach them. If my boyfriend and I ever have a kid, we'll just be honest with it. We'll say that mommy is one of God's chosen people, and daddy believes that Jesus is magic!"),
rape ("I was raped by a doctor… which is kind of bittersweet for a Jew"), the Holocaust ("The Holocaust would never had happened if black people lived in Germany in the 1930s and 40s… well, it wouldn't have happened to Jews"),
and 9/11 ("I think American Airlines' new slogan should be: We were the first to hit the twin towers") – every topic you're NOT supposed to joke about. Obviously these jokes are better on screen than read in print."
